Veteran rapper DMX is reportedly hospitalized and in “grave condition” following a drug overdose.

Although the 50-year-old has “some brain activity,” one source reportedly says he’s in a “vegetative state” and doctors warn he might not survive.
DMX has battled substance abuse issues for decades but was seemingly on the upswing in recent months. After serving roughly one year in prison for tax evasion, the Ruff Ryders legend checked himself into a drug rehab in October 2019.

“In his ongoing commitment to putting family and sobriety first, DMX has checked himself into a rehab facility,” X’s reps wrote on Instagram at the time. “He apologizes for his cancelled shows and thanks his fans for their continued support.”
