Vigil Held for Rapper DMX

It’s been a few days and there has been scarce updates on the condition of rapper DMX. It was reported early this week that DMX was in the hospital on life support following a drug overdose last Friday night. With conflicting information being reported by the media, we were led to believe that he suffered a heart attack as a result of the drug overdose and that he initially was on life support and then removed. Since the earlier reports have surfaced the information has been cleared up and it’s now being reported that he is in fact still on life support.

Several vigils have been held for the popular rapper. The hospital staff held their own, Ruff Ryders biker community came out Sunday night and held one, and the latest one was held Monday night with the general public. The crowd included DMX’s finance, Desiree Lindstrum and the couple’s five year old son, Exodus, his ex wife, and some of his other children.
