DMX's Prognosis 'Not Looking Good,' Little Brain Activity After OD

DMX's chances at survival are looking quite grim.

DMX suffered a drug overdose Friday night and is currently in the hospital ... and the prognosis is not good.

Sources close to the rapper tell TMZ, the OD occurred at his home at around 11 PM. Our sources say the overdose triggered a heart attack.

DMX was rushed to a hospital in White Plains, New York and is in the critical care unit. We're told he has "some brain activity." Another source says he's in a "vegetative state" and doctors have cautioned he may not make it.

As we have reported over the years, DMX, who was the cornerstone of the Ruff Ryders label, has battled substance abuse and has been to rehab several times. His last rehab stint back in 2019 came after he completed a 12-month sentence for tax evasion.

At the time, we were told DMX hadn't relapsed, but checked himself into rehab out of fear he might again, as he felt temptations to use creep up on him again.

DMX made his return to the stage following rehab in December 2019 when he hit Hakkassan in Las Vegas, chatting it up and taking photos with fans before he hit the stage.

During the Vegas show, he took a moment to tell fans, "When you fall down, get back up, everyone here has been through some s**t and you never know what God is willing to do for you until you need him to do something for you."

Last we saw him perform was in July 2020, when X faced off with Snoop Dogg in a Verzuz battle which saw more than 500K viewers tune in, proving he still had an incredible ability to bring an audience.

We will, of course, update as information becomes available regarding his current situation.

Story developing ...

Man this is not looking good at all. When you hear Vegetative State it might come to the decision of the family to stop the Machines keeping him alive enough. Please pull through X!

For fuck sakes....it looked like he was pulling through his issues not even a year ago.

This one is going to hurt when the eventual happens.

Dang man, not DMX. I really hope he’s able to pull through.



The movie Belly with DMX and Nas has one of the best movie intros and it’s a really good movie.

What a shame. Smh. Damn x.

I'm happy to hear the good news from the man himself.

God Bless DMX.

Apparently DMX’s attorney was given wrong information when it was reported that he was taken off life support and breathing on his own, unfortunately he’s still on life support according to reports.

Fuck!

This news sucks.

 

[Kairi HoHo]

My heart just stank again hearing that the Attorney got the wrong info.

 

[Petty]

yeah, that was false news. I hate to be the one to say it, but I don't think he gonna survive. Very rarely do people come back from brain-dead activity after a heart attack.

Is there not been any news at all?

Man, I'm worried about this. It's not looking great. I've liked DMX for a while, I even enjoy his movies such as Cradle 2 the Grave. Would be a shame to lose him like this.
