Prayers are up for DMX, who reportedly is in critical condition following a drug overdose Friday night, April 2nd according to TMZ. The overdose reportedly occurred around 11 p.m. following which the multi-platinum rap legend was rushed over to a hospital in White Plains, New York and was taken to the ICU.
DMX has had many successes, including the multi-platinum albums It’s Dark and Hell is Hot, Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood as well as …And Then There Was X. More recently X returned to perform in Vegas in 2019 following his January release from prison due to tax fraud; he later went toe to toe against fellow legend Snoop Dogg in a Verzuz battle that raised over 500,000 viewers.
While some sources claim he has “some brain activity”, others report that he is an a “vegetative state” following the overdose that sources say sparked a heart attack. The well-loved rapper is no doubt in many fans’ prayers.
The incident comes almost four years to the date of the rapper having to cancel shows because of medical concerns, back in April 2017.
