===Feud with Jay-Z===
When DMX partnered with [[Jay-Z]] and [[Ja Rule]] in [[Murder Inc. (rap group)|Murder Inc.]], there was a feud between the two, which also contributed to the failure of the group and working together. According to reports, the feud started in the early 1990s after a rap battle between the two, which led to DMX's disdain for Jay-Z.<ref name="MTV 2015-11-10">{{cite news |url=https://www.mtv.com/news/2424398/jay-z-irv-gotti-dmx-beef-battle/ |title=IRV GOTTI EXPLAINS WHY DMX ALWAYS HATED JAY Z |website=Mtv.com |date=2015-11-10 |access-date=2021-04-12 |archive-date=April 12, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210412141914/https://www.mtv.com/news/2424398/jay-z-irv-gotti-dmx-beef-battle/ }}</ref><ref name="Meaww 2021-04-08">{{cite news |url=https://meaww.com/dmx-past-feuds-rapper-beef-jay-z-ja-rule-murder-inc-irv-gotti |title=DMX's past feuds: How rapper's beef with Jay Z and Ja Rule shattered their dreams of Murder Inc |work=Meaww.com |date=2021-04-08 |access-date=2021-04-12 |archive-date=April 12, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210412141916/https://meaww.com/dmx-past-feuds-rapper-beef-jay-z-ja-rule-murder-inc-irv-gotti |url-status=live }}</ref> Prior to DMX's death, the feud, although it fizzled out over the years, continued when DMX said in an Instagram video that he wanted to rap battle Jay-Z on [[Verzuz]].<ref name="Urban Islandz 2020-05-21">{{cite news |url=https://urbanislandz.com/2020/05/21/dmx-says-eminem-dont-want-no-smoke-insist-on-battling-jay-z/ |title=DMX Says Eminem Don't Want No Smoke, Insist On Battling JAY-Z |website=Urbanislandz.com |date=2020-05-21 |access-date=2021-04-12 |archive-date=April 12, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210412141914/https://urbanislandz.com/2020/05/21/dmx-says-eminem-dont-want-no-smoke-insist-on-battling-jay-z/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
