RIP Earl DMX Simmons

Pull through DMX.
The phrasing of it all.
In my 43 years, I have NEVER heard the phrase "taken off life support" followed up with the patient being in improved health.
Whenever "taken off life support" is used, it usually means the person is dead/dying.
People who have been on life support (critical) and removed due to improving health are typically upgraded to "stable" condition.
Exactly.
Times like this, you really see how evil TMZ writers are to black celebrities.
Devilish crackers.

TMZ are foul sometimes but they weren't the ones that wrote that.
Damn man, I was just watching him in
Belly a week ago tonight. He was good
in that movie. I hope the brotha pulls
thru but it's not looking good for him.

“Taken off of life support” can and does mean two things.
1. There’s nothing more that can be done, the machine’s keeping them alive so they’re taking the patient off of life support.
2. The patient is no longer on breathing tubes and good enough to breathe on their own so they’re taken off of life support.

DMXPROGNOSIS 'NOT LOOKING GOOD' AFTER OD... Kids Flying In
4/3/2021 7:37 PM PT
7:25 PM PT -- We just got an official statement from DMX's rep ... "Last night Earl 'DMX' Simmons was rushed to the hospital after collapsing at home. At this time he remains in ICU in critical condition. Earl has been a warrior his entire life. This situation represents yet another road he must conquer." The rep goes on ... "The Simmons Family appreciates the overwhelming outpouring of heartfelt 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 is reassuring to see his fans return that same passion and energy to him during his time of need."
5:40 PM PT -- A family member of X's tells TMZ ... his children are flying in to see him.
5:20 PM PT -- A family member of X's tells TMZ ... paramedics tried resuscitating him for 30 minutes, and during that time he was deprived of oxygen. Doctors told the family the lack of oxygen severely impacted X's brain. One family source said, "It's not looking good."
DMX suffered a drug overdose Friday night and is currently in the hospital ... and the prognosis is not good.
Sources close to the rapper tell TMZ, the OD occurred at his home at around 11 PM. Our sources say the overdose triggered a heart attack.
DMX was rushed to a hospital in White Plains, New York and is in the critical care unit. We're told he has "some brain activity." Another source says he's in a "vegetative state" and doctors have cautioned he may not make it.
As we have reported over the years, DMX, who was the cornerstone of the Ruff Ryders label, has battled substance abuse and has been to rehab several times. His last rehab stint back in 2019 came after he completed a 12-month sentence for tax evasion.
At the time, we were told DMX hadn't relapsed, but checked himself into rehab out of fear he might again, as he felt temptations to use creep up on him again.
DMX made his return to the stage following rehab in December 2019 when he hit Hakkassan in Las Vegas, chatting it up and taking photos with fans before he hit the stage.
During the Vegas show, he took a moment to tell fans, "When you fall down, get back up, everyone here has been through some s**t and you never know what God is willing to do for you until you need him to do something for you."
Last we saw him perform was in July 2020, when X faced off with Snoop Dogg in a Verzuz battle which saw more than 500K viewers tune in, proving he still had an incredible ability to bring an audience.
We will, of course, update as information becomes available regarding his current situation.

DMX was taken to a New York hospital Friday night following a reported drug overdose. The rapper’s attorney confirmed to Rolling Stone that he is currently hospitalized and on life support.
TMZ first reported Saturday that DMX was in “grave condition” — two sources said the rapper is in a “vegetative state” or has “some brain activity” — after a drug overdose triggered a heart attack. DMX was reportedly rushed to a White Plains, New York hospital late Friday night and placed in the critical care unit.
The rapper’s health status was murky as of Saturday evening due to conflicting reports. DMX’s attorney Murray Richman first confirmed to Pix11 that the rapper had suffered a heart attack and has “been taken off life support system and is breathing on his own.” He added, “It would be disingenuous of me to suggest that I am not a worried man.” But speaking to Rolling Stone later that evening, he says he was “given wrong information” and said that the rapper remains on life support. He could not confirm if the heart attack was drug-related.
“Last night, Earl ‘DMX’ Simmons was rushed to the hospital after collapsing at home,” the rapper’s rep said in a statement to TMZ on Saturday. “At this time, he remains in ICU in critical condition. Earl has been a warrior his entire life. This situation represents yet another road he must conquer.” The site added that, per a family member, the rapper’s children have flown in to see him
The influential Yonkers rapper has long struggled with drug issues, most recently in October 2019, when DMX canceled a series of tour dates in order to return to a drug habilitation center.
“In his ongoing commitment to putting family and sobriety first, DMX has checked himself into a rehab facility,” DMX’s Instagram told fans at the time. “He apologizes for his cancelled shows and thanks his fans for their continued support.”

Several celebrities and friends of the rapper are sharing their well-wishes.

Well wish him all the best.
God bless him. I hate hearing this.
This is one of my favorite DMX songs. After Bone Thugs-N-Harmony drop Crossroads, DMX missed his chance at capitalizing off God inspired rap. This video basically wrote itself but you never made it
Two sets of footprints, I was right beside you there
What about the times when I only saw one. Those were the times when I was under the gun
It was then I carried you my son. Like you to safety it just wasn't your time to face me...

Kinda confused about this update based on yesterday's confusion
My oldest brother and his homies were taking Bee Pollen in the 80's. They are all vegan and smoked good weed daily.
That is good but they should have let the weed go when they first started. When I was in the military I was friends with a Muslim brother who boxed. He was vegan but every now and then he would drink beer. His lifestyle was good except for the beer.
There are a lot of questions that we are afraid to ask about energy.
Yes you have. You just dont remember it being positive.
The phrase is: removed from life support and in stable condition.
This dude been an addict his whole life.
He was an addict before the music carreer.
Edit: This is not his current situation, yall. Hes still on a ventilator.
Ventilator=life support.
