DMX Still on Life Support at NY Hospital After Heart Attack, Attorney Says
Early Saturday morning, TMZ and Variety reported the heart attack DMX suffered was caused by a drug overdose
Grammy-nominated rapper DMX was on life support at a New York hospital Saturday evening after he was admitted the previous night in grave condition after suffering a heart attack.
DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was rushed to a White Plains hospital from his nearby home around 11 p.m. Friday, his longtime attorney Murray Richman told NBC New York.
The 50-year-old had to be resuscitated by medical personnel at the hospital's critical care unit, Richman told NBC News. The lawyer said DMX remains on life support after misspeaking earlier Saturday and stating the rapper had come off life support and was breathing on his own.

Early Saturday morning, TMZ and Variety reported the heart attack DMX suffered was caused by a drug overdose. One source told TMZ his doctors "cautioned he may not make it."
The native New Yorker made headlines last summer when he appeared in a Verzuz battle in July with Snoop Dogg. He'd also reportedly been working on a new album following his release from prison for tax fraud. The rapper completed a 12-month stint in prison and was released in January 2019.
DMX has been open about his struggles with addiction in the past. In late 2019, he took to Instagram to announce he checked himself into rehab again and subsequently canceled a series of performances.
Word of the DMX's condition spread through social media Saturday morning, garnering quick support from contemporaries in the music and entertainment industry.
