The internet was swept with a shockwave when there were speculations around the rapper’s death, as distraught fans demanded clarity. When ‘RIP DMX’ began trending on Twitter, one couldn’t help but wonder if the legendary musician had breathed his last. However, fans are now holding on to the last ray of hope as it was confirmed that DMX is still on life support, alive.

According to reports, the rapper has been in a coma and life support since the heart attack last Friday, allegedly caused by a drug overdose. He was set to undergo a series of brain function and activity testing on Wednesday, April 7. The test was to “dictate further decisions to be made by DMX's family.”

And now, one of DMX’s family members has revealed that the rapper received a Covid-19 vaccine about a week before he had a heart attack. “[DMX] got the vaccine when they opened it up to people over 50. He got it so that he could go travel and perform, stuff like that," they said in a statement. The family member has reportedly “suspected” that the heart attack could have been a “reaction to the vaccine”. The statement further read, “He took that vaccine, and he had a heart attack. I’m not saying the vaccine did it, but he never had a heart attack before.” However, the name of the vaccine the rapper allegedly received hasn't been revealed.

If the reports are believed to be true, the family member was “furious” about the rumors surrounding the rapper overdosing on drugs. They told the outlet, “Everyone (in the news) keeps saying that (DMX) had a drug overdose. How do they know. I’m in the family and no doctor told me anything about an overdose. Yes he had past issues with drugs. But nobody knows that he had an OD. It’s f*****d up that its being reported like that.”

Even though fans are relieved to learn that ‘RIP DMX” was a hoax, they are sending out prayers for his recovery. One tweeted, "#DMX maybe on life support. But he is still alive. Continue to prayer for our brother." Another added, "Sending prayers up for DMX miracles happen with prayer X would of told us to pray so I am sending prayers for DMX."


One fan tweeted, "update: lets hope dmx is still fighting through this. i have no clue whats true & whats false at this point. so many reports being made by the hour. everyone just keep sending prayers, goodnight!" One wrote, "it’s annoying @ this point. if it was their loved ones in the same position they wouldn’t want NONE of this happening. too much he say she say, stfu and let God do what was planned for DMX. all prayers to him & his family tho."


#DMX maybe on life support. But he is still alive. Continue to prayer for our brother. ��
