DMX’s story is so heartbreaking. He was truly one of the most captivating artists of my lifetime. It’s hard to explain just how massive he was in the late 90s/early 00s. He touched people in a ways I can’t explain. Prayers up for the legend.

“I though dmx was clean, he was doing good” he was but it’s time as a community we understand that addiction is usually a life long battle, that’s why addiction needs to be treated the same across the boards no matter the race. Prayers to DMX fr !

As a long-time fighter of addiction, he has done multiple stints in rehab over the years with relative success in staying away from narcotics.

The recent development might be too much for the 50-year-old to handle. The situation surrounding the rapper's health is still volatile and up in the air.
