On Saturday it became known that the legendary rapper DMX (50), or Earl Simmons, which is his real name, was hospitalized. The cause is a heart attack, presumably caused by an overdose.
Earl Simmons’ attorney, Murray Richman, confirms to CNN that assisted ventilation is helping him breathe. However, he says he does not know what caused the heart attack.
However, the rapper’s longtime lawyer incorrectly said on Saturday that the rapper had been withdrawn from respirator treatment and breathing on his own, but this later turned out not to be true. Write NME.
Sued for “Satan’s shoes”
TMZ writes in an update that the rapper’s children have flown to New York to see him. Simmons has a total of 15 children, four of whom are with the ex-wife and one with the fiancé. It is not known which of the children the celebrity site refers to.
The Simmons family has also released a statement regarding the admission.
– We appreciate the overwhelming amount of genuine love, encouragement, support and prayers for Earl. Earl is someone whose life and music have been a source of inspiration and strength to so many people around the world. It’s heartwarming to see her fans return the same passion and energy to her through this demanding time, they say according to TMZ.
The 50-year-old has been outspoken about his drug abuse and, among other things, explained that it started when he was only 14 years old.
In 2016, he was found unconscious in a parking lot. He himself explained that it was due to an asthma attack and that it was not an overdose.
He has not lived a life free of problems and has been in prison several times, several times drug related. He served his sentence in 2019 at the latest, for tax evasion.
