During his set, the mogul paid tribute to Tytyana’s life, bringing those in the crowd to a moment of silence.
"I love my daughter. Man, I miss her," the rapper told his audience.
"I always was her parachute, but now she my parachute up in the sky looking over me," he added. "We ain’t gonna grieve no more. We gonna celebrate because now I’m gonna be able to take care of millions of kids and save millions of lives. I’m gonna get out here and play my part. I know that God put me in this world for a passion and a purpose."
The 52-year-old told the crowd that "mental illness and substance abuse are serious things," before inviting everyone to sing "You Are Not Alone," by Michael Jackson, which he said was her theme song.
