The rapper DMX has died aged 50 almost a week after his heart attack and reported overdose.
The news came after it was reported he had ‘not regained any brain function’ and his condition had not improved after a series of tests that were performed on Wednesday
The tests had reportedly left his family with the agonizing decision over whether to keep the 50-year-old entertainer on life support.
Many people in X’s family were at the hospital over the last week, including his mom, fiancee and many of his kids.
A rep for his family told TMZ, “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. Earl was a warrior who fought till the very end.”
The statement continues, “He loved his family with all of his heart and we cherish the times we spent with him. Earl’s music inspired countless fans across the world and his iconic legacy will live on forever. We appreciate all of the love and support during this incredibly difficult time. Please respect our privacy as we grieve the loss of our brother, father, uncle and the man the world knew as DMX. We will share information about his memorial service once details are finalized.”
