American rapper DMX's memories will continue to be celebrated as Instagram has memorialised his account, adding “remembering” to his bio.

DMX died on April 9 at the White Plains hospital in US where he was receiving treatment following complications from a drug overdose which left him on life support for a week.

The last Instagram photo that DMX shared on his account was uploaded on March 24. The photo featured a sweatshirt that read “DMX” across the chest. The post was liked more than 25,000 times. The account enjoys over 3 million followers.

According to the photo-video sharing website (Instagram), no one can log into a memorialised account. The posts the deceased person shared, including photos and videos, stay on their page and are visible to the users they were shared with. Also, once the account is memorialised, no one will be able to make changes to any of the existing posts or information. The word Remembering will be shown next to the person’s name on their profile. Memorialized accounts don't appear in public spaces, like people's Explore section of the app.

The new feature was introduced by instagram early this year.

Mewanwhile DMX will be honored by his family, friends, loved ones and fans in one of the premier entertainment venues in the us, The Barclays Center.
