American rapper DMX, born Earl Simmons, was hospitalised in a critical condition on Friday night after suffering a drug overdose. According to relatives, the 50-year-old artist suffered a heart attack shortly after 11pm (03:00 GMT Saturday) at his home. He was immediately taken to a hospital in White Plains, New York, where he is in intensive care.
The rapper was seen on stage in July 2020 in a popular virtual rap battle against Snoop Dogg. DMX has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide over the course of his career. He was the cornerstone of the Ruff Ryders label. During a Vegas show, the rapper took a moment to tell fans: « When you fall down, when you get up, everybody here has been through some shit, and you never know what God is willing to do for you… ».
