DMXâs longtime New York-based lawyer, Murray Richman, said the rapper was on life support Saturday evening at White Plains Hospital outside of New York City.
DMX is reportedly in grave condition following a recent drug overdose.
On Saturday (April 3), TMZ reported that the legendary Yonkers, N.Y. rapper is in the hospital with a dire prognosis after overdosing and suffering a heart attack at his home last night (April 2) around 11 p.m. He is reportedly in a White Plains, N.Y. hospital being treated in the ICU. Sources say the rapper may be brain dead or in a vegetative state.
The hip-hop community is sending up well wishes for X on social media including artists like Rick Ross, T.I., Joell Ortiz and more.
XXL has reached out to DMX s record label for comment on the situation.
