Stacey Dash had a painful awakening this week when she realized DMX had passed away over a year ago.
The Clueless actor and cousin to Damon Dash claimed to have discovered the heartbreaking news on Wednesday (August 31). In a tear-filled TikTok video, which she later posted to Instagram, Dash condemned the disease of addiction.
“I didn’t know DMX died,” she said. “I didn’t know, from a cocaine overdose. I am today, six years and one month clean, and it breaks my heart. It breaks my heart that he lost to it. He lost to that demon of addiction. Please. Please, don’t lose.”
But, like many others, DJ Hurricane of Beastie Boys fame wanted to know: “Where have you been? Under a rock?” Similar comments littered her post, with some even suggesting she was using drugs again.
DMX died at White Plains Hospital in White Plains, New York in April 2021 after suffering a reported drug overdose and subsequent heart attack. According to a statement from the Simmons family, the Ruff Ryders legend passed away less than 24 hours after his brain activity test results indicated there’d been no improvement in the six days he’d been on life support.
“We are deeply saddened to announce today that our loved one, DMX, birth name of Earl Simmons, passed away at 50-years-old at White Plains Hospital with his family by his side after being placed on life support for the past few days. DMX was a warrior who fought till the very end. He loved his family with all of his heart and we cherish the times we spent with him.

“Earl’s music inspired countless fans across the world and his iconic legacy will live on forever. We appreciate all of the love and support during this incredibly difficult time. Please respect our privacy as we grieve the loss of our brother, father, uncle, and the man the world knew as DMX.”
The White Plains Hospital staff added: “Earl Simmons passed away peacefully with family present after suffering a catastrophic cardiac arrest.”
DMX was just getting ready to drop what he and his team had hoped would be his “comeback” album. Titled Exodus, the project was ultimately released thanks to the assistance of longtime producer Swizz Beatz.
She pretty but not too bright.
What types of games being played? How’s it going down. She pretty but not too bright.
Bitch off the drugs now wants some attention. Smh smh smh
such a dumb bitch… something is wrong with that lady
Still luv u Stacey
addiction is not a disease
Technically no but it’s a plague so it might as well be
She gonna say she never knew EAZY-E died next, or she thought Michael Jordan still play for the Bulls. Attention Seeker for real. She trying too hard to be on Clueless again.
It’s ironic that she has been that far out of the loop, however, she might not be that close to the hiphop community…but i can see that it was heart-felt….we all have battles, she’s gotten mature enough to reflect on herself and make changes to what SHE, herself, feels needs to be changed, not going out here subliminally begging weird-assed social media folks for a like
I’m sure DMX loved seeing you on fox news
Bitch you need to get back on the drugs. Stay out of the public eye, because your soul has a rotten stench. Gtfoh.
WOW THIS MUST BE ONE OF THE BIGGEST FALL OFF AS FAR AS BEAUTY IS CONCERNED. SHE WAS THE BADDEST AT ONE POINT, NOW SHE’S MADUSA. HER UGLINESS FROM INSIDE IS STARTING TO SHOW.
Now I know this may seem like oh she never knew all along about dmx passing, but for some unknown reason guys I buy her story… Well of course it wouldn’t be like uh shocking news if the dark man may just had already tap that ass back in the day now, but imma leave that part alone but I do believe her family.
