DMX’s Condition Isn’t Improving, According To Manager
DMX was taken to a New York hospital on Friday night after he suffered a heart attack that was believed to be brought on by a drug overdose. The two-time AMA winner for Favorite Rap Artist (2000, 2001) has since been in a coma and on life support, says his manager, Steve Rifkind.

Funk Flex Calls Out Music Industry For Not Helping DMX
Radio veteran Funk Flex is calling out the industry. In light of the hospitalization of DMX, Flex exposed how nobody in the biz helped X despite being aware of what he was going through.
“The music business is a gorilla. It’s a bottomless pit of happiness or depression I don’t wanna say people don’t help you but I do want to say there are people who actually know [when a star is struggling, but don’t help] sometimes. You don’t always get the best help when money is being made. It’s rough for someone like a DMX who may be in a mental and emotional state of childhood trauma that has happened to him and then being thrown into the money and fame.” (Page Six)
