DMX Reportedly Hospitalized After Drug Overdose!
CelebnMusic247.com has learned that DMX was hospitalized Friday night after suffering a heart attack that was triggered by an apparent drug overdose.
DMX was rushed to a hospital in White Plains, New York after overdosing at his home around 11 p.m.
According to TMZ, X is currently in the critical care unit.
A source close to the family tells TMZ that the 50-year-old rapper has “some brain activity.” Another source says he’s in a “vegetative state” and doctors have cautioned he may not make it.
DMX has battled substance abuse for years, last checking into a rehab facility in October 2019, less than nine months after he was released from prison on tax evasion charges.
Several of X’s peers in the hip-hop community took to social media to share their support, including Rick Ross, T.I., Missy Elliot, and Ja Rule.
T.I. took to Twitter saying:
Shake back Big Bro. We made plans Maaaan We got shit to do!!! We laughed so hard about how far we’ve made it in life this night. I appreciate you so much for pulling up & and checking on a ni**a. So now I’m tellin’ you like you told me…This too shall pass… #PrayersUpForDMX.
