DMX and his goddaughter Paige Hurd were once kicked out of Six Flags during the early days of getting to know one another as co-stars in Cradle 2 The Grave.
The Power actress revealed the hilarious story in a recent interview with Preme Magazine. Prior to starring in the 2003 flick, DMX and Hurd were to spend some quality bonding time together ahead of filming to help improve their daddy-daughter on-screen chemistry.

Hurd was petrified of going to Six Flags with X and her sister as she’s afraid of going on rollercoasters or any sort of amusement park rides.
“Like right before we were filming Cradle 2 the Grave, we had to do like daddy-daughter bonding,” she began. “He came to pick me up from my house… And he was taking us to Six Flags. Now, I’m claustrophobic I do not do rollercoasters, I don’t do theme parks.

“I was like, ‘Yeah, well, I don’t ride rollercoasters.’ He was like, ‘Well, you are today.’ I was freaking out the entire way there. He drives very fast. I’m pretty sure we could all imagine. Very, very fast in this small car and we’re driving down the 5 freeway [and he] misses the exit. You think he goes to the next exit? Middle of the freeway, reverses and reverses down the on-ramp to get up.
“We get to Six Flags and me and my sister are terrified we have to get on these rides. And by the grace of God, weed was not legal then. They found weed and we got kicked out before we even got in. And I am like, ‘I’m the Lord’s child. He loves him some Paige.’ Then we ended up going to the mall, KFC and hanging out for the day. That’s one of my first memories that we’ve had.”
Hurd and DMX starred in the 2003 movie together and grew to be very close as she became his adoptive goddaughter in the years after and made a ton more memories together.
DMX tragically passed away at the age of 50 from a drug-induced heart attack at White Plains Hospital in New York on April 9, 2021.
The actress is looking to follow in X’s footsteps as she’s preparing for the release of a rap album, Hurd U, later this year featuring collabs with Meek Mill, 21 Savage and more.
