The two have worked together extensively over the years. In 1999, Eminem presented an award to DMX at the 1999 Source Awards, and they collaborated on the 2003 hit “Go To Sleep.” TMZ broke the news that DMX, real name Earl Simmons, suffered a drug overdose Friday night (April 2) and is currently at a hospital in White Plains, New York, where he remains in a critical condition, according to the latest reports.
It is widely known that rapper has had issues with drug abuse over the years. He cleaned up his act in 2019 after being serving a 12-month sentence for tax evasion. The last time he entered rehab back then, he did so voluntarily because he felt that he might be tempted to get back into the world of substance abuse. Following his last stint, he even made a return to the stage.
During a concert in Vegas, he stopped the show 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.” Here’s hoping that the original Ruff Ryder will get back on his feet soon.
