DMX Still Alive But On Life Support, Manager Says Amid Death Rumours
Rumours of DMX’s death have been trending on social media since Thursday night (April 8). But the rapper’s manager Steve Rifkind shared a statement on Instagram saying that the rapper is still alive but on life support.
“Everybody, please stop with posting these rumors,” he said. “DMX is still alive. Yes, he is on life support, but please, it’s not helping anybody by having them see these false rumors. Let the family relax for a night.”
On April 3, TMZ reported that the 50-year-old rapper had been hospitalized and was in critical condition, following a heart attack that was preceded by an apparent drug overdose.
