DMX is seeking help in his longstanding battle with addiction. The veteran MC’s team announced X checked himself into rehab, which resulted in him canceling some previously booked gigs.
“In his ongoing commitment to putting family and sobriety first, DMX has checked himself into a rehab facility,” X’s reps wrote on Instagram. “He apologizes for his cancelled shows and thanks his fans for their continued support.
The multi-platinum selling artist’s trip to rehab will be his second stint in the past few years. Prior to serving time in prison for tax evasion, X spent months in rehab during 2017.
X was scheduled to perform at a Three 6 Mafia reunion show in Mississippi on Saturday night (October 12). He was replaced by the Ying Yang Twins.
The Ruff Ryders rapper was also supposed to be part of the lineup for Rolling Loud New York. X was slated to take the stage on Sunday (October 13) along with artists such as Lil Uzi Vert, DaBaby, Pusha T, Action Bronson and Denzel Curry.

Who didn’t see this coming…
Feel bad for the dog, seems like his story is only gonna end one way. At least he’s trying though…
We all knew he could never keep his lips off that damn glass dlck!
Lol, we knew this was bound to happen 🙂
We sure did, my friend, we sure did..
I love listening to pricks who have never been through nothing go out of their way to drag another man’s name in the dirt. I guess we should drag Mac Miller in the dirt for killing himself through addiction as well, huh? Might as well, we cooking the dude who realizes he has a problem and chose to go to rehab these days, might as well take it up another notch.
FOH!
while i agree, the difference is dmx has been an addict for almost 20 years, so to say he “realizes he has a problem” is a ridiculous statement. he either gotta change who hes around or hell never fix his problem
X….man you are in your 50’s now…when are you going to realize you can’t drink? Drinking leads you back to the cocaine bruh….leave all the shit alone man, or you’re gonna continue in the downward spiral…I remember when he first got out of prison and had the first interview, he mentioned crack cocaine being his drug of choice, but he always says he has stopped doing the crack, but he’s not gonna stop drinking, WRONG ANSWER brother
I can feel his pain. I struggle with going back to the hard. I had a 3 yr run and glad I got it out. I still smoke weed and drink. Every blue moon I might hit some soft.
If you have the capability to control it, I’m not trying to stop you. However, X hasn’t ever shown that he’s capable of doing that. I’ve never been big on drugs, but I’ve had my bad times with alcohol. And I know my drinking will go from 1 – 100 in a couple days. So I choose to leave everything alone. And I feel great. So in my opinion, X needs to stop everything.
No matter what happens, his first three albums are classics. It’s a shame to see him in this state, I remember getting arrested to “Get It On The Floor” while trying to fight three policemen. Irony, but a funny memory.
I dont know dmx so i cant attack of defend him, but it is easy to point the fingee at him and see he messed up again, but at least he’s trying to get help again. he’s not in denial.
My balls ache.
Being back in the limelight is a trigger for the addiction. Hope he didn’t relapse and is just trying get ahold of himself.
Back to Crack
I’m hurt about Ox and that he won’t be in the follow up movie to the first Belly if it was in the was works !
Dope man be like, “HTF did you get this number?!??”
You’ll never understand if u never been in his shoes
That’s cuz he sold his shoes for crack
Everytime DMX gets out of rehab or prison I hope for a new high quality album…. Been hoping for qp years now. Never gonna happen, and Swizz Beats beats suck now too. All the same drum loop junk.
Dude, have you ever tried to give up an addiction? I gave up drinking for three months and relapsed. Shit is tough.
So sad, use cuz were happy, use cuz ur not…
Just when we thought dude’s finally on the right track, signed a new record deal and working on a new album, he goes years behind and checks in to rehab again! Man! I put my money that you’ll make the greatest come back of the year! Why can’t you just stick with the green?! I ran out of hope that this dude would ever make a come back!
