DMX, a rapper known as much for his troubles as his music, has died, his family announced in a statement. He was 50.
"We are deeply saddened to announce today that our loved one, DMX, birth name of Earl Simmons, passed away at 50-years-old at White Plains Hospital with his family by his side after being placed on life support for the past few days," family's statement read in part.
The artist had been hospitalized since last week when he suffered a heart attack at his home in New York, according to his longtime attorney, Murray Richman.
DMX (Dark Man X) began rapping in the early 1990s and released his debut album, "It's Dark and Hell Is Hot," in 1998.
With the deaths of fellow rappers The Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur before he burst on the scene, DMX became one of the reigning stars of hardcore hip hop and was the premier artist signed to the Ruffhouse Records label.
His single, "Ruff Ryders Anthem," helped to seal his critical and commercial success.

@valglass12 I could respond all day and it wouldn’t suddenly become valid or even right. And DMX never said to rob anyone or hurt innocent. Besides not too many young kids are even under his influence.
But anyway pal nothing was burnt anything down by me and I didn’t hurt anyone. Now just go back to FOX or 4chan or whatever racists like you do for fun.
True
RIP he was such a natural,even when he spoke it was like he had a mic.
I still own a copy of Romeo Must Die, Cradle to the Grave and his records. Rest in Power X
2 of my most favourite movies 💪🏽👍🏽
Childhood memories.
And never die alone
Rest in peace DMX All dogs goes to heaven 💯🙏🏿🕊️

@Madi Lee Amen. I watch him on the Sunday broadcast, got baptised at the TOG in my country.
“Dont be sad because he’s gone
Be happy because he was there” 🙏
Real talk!✌😔
Amen
Amen
It is so important to protect the children at all costs. They have to grow up to be adults one day. May his soul rest in peace.
OVERDOSE? He died from the cv19 shot he took 7 days prior. Look at the
4,000+ Recorded deaths of those over 50+ on the VAERS Website. Education is key!
Well said.
All dogs go to Heaven. RIP X. We love you and will miss you dearly
He admitted his struggles publicly never hid them from anyone and still managed to give you some of the best music youll ever hear, music enjoyed from all over the world and all walks of life, a legend despite his struggles. Appreciate that. RIP DMX.

The strongest among us have fought the strongest demons… That’s what makes him so strong… But the demons never give up… And even the strongest among us get tired and need rest. Rest in peace legend…you will never be forgotten.
Nonsense he was a crackhead , don’t romanticise that
We caring about this guy only because he was a famous rapper if he didn’t have that title around his name wood we still care about hem no stop being fake and there alot more men that die fighting but most of the world don’t care
The devil is in me. And I don’t care. He killed him. Attack me with your words. I don’t care. I’m not my Christian self. I feel odd towards the death, nothing. I don’t feel sad. I’m not my Christian self right now. Satan has me. Inside me. Everything is falling apart. I, the devil inside want to hurt my psychiatrist. So why would I be sad about death. Death is what I want. I want to be like DMX, dead. Come at me if you want, I want to be verbally attacked. I like it. I might not respond. Nothing matters.

Actually wept after I heard the news. His spiritual struggles that came through his music were so relatable to me, and helped me face my struggles as a young man. RIP My Brother!
R.I.P DMX you are a real legend. Now you’re in the heavens with God you don’t have to suffer anymore, but you will be missed
Addiction is a black hole and nobody can pull you out except the person staring in the mirror… Rest in Paradise X

“They” always have to air your dirt while claiming to honor you. RIP DMX! One of the few emcees that didn’t brag about material things.
I admired how he never hid his love for God and always striving to be better. RIP X No more pain no more stress sing with the angels
