DMX bailed on his performance at Def Jam’s 35th anniversary party at Villain in Williamsburg on Thursday, leaving the label in a panic.

“He was literally MIA. Fabolous and Jadakiss saved the day in the eleventh hour,” an insider told Page Six.

Another insider told us the rapper was a “no show for personal reasons.”

Fab and Kiss performed hits such as “Breathe” and “We Gonna Make It” for 750 guests including 2 Chainz, TJ Porter, Fetty Luciano, Slick Rick, Stretch & Bobbito, DJ Premier, Teyana Taylor and Def Jam’s CEO Paul Rosenberg.

Meanwhile, Taylor tricked a staffer into purchasing a $750 varsity jacket at the vintage pop-up shop at the venue.
