The Grammy-Nominated Rapper DMX Has Died

I was really hoping he would pull through but news just broke that DMX has died.

In case you didn’t hear, DMX was hospitalized and has been in a coma for the past week after suffering a heart attack due to a possible drug overdose.

His family had a vigil to try to gather prayers for his recovery last week.

Unfortunately, he did not pull through and died at 50 years old at White Plains Hospital with his family by his side.

The statement made was:

“We are deeply saddened to announce today that our loved one, DMX, birth name of Earl Simmons, passed away at 50 years old at White Plains Hospital with his family by his side after being placed on life support for the past few days,” read a statement from the rapper’s family Friday morning. “Earl was a warrior who fought till the very end. He loved his family with all of his heart and we cherish the times we spent with him. Earl’s music inspired countless fans across the world and his iconic legacy will live on forever. We appreciate all of the love and support during this incredibly difficult time. Please respect our privacy as we grieve the loss of our brother, father, uncle and the man the world knew as DMX. We will share information about his memorial service once details are finalized.”
