DMX is one of the most legendary rappers of the 90s and 2000s. This weekend, the rapper's family confirmed in a statement that the "Where The Hood At" artist, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was in a "vegetative state" following a drug overdose. Conflicting reports stated that he was taken off of life support and was breathing on his own, but those were later revealed to be false through a statement by DMX's manager.
The news has shaken the hip-hop community to its core. As we continue to pray for DMX's recovery, some of music's all-time greats are reacting on social media by sending prayers. Eminem made sure to say a virtual prayer for Dark Man X, sending a message out on Twitter.
"Prayers out 2 @DMX & his family!! True legend!! Pullin 4 u please stay strong," said Eminem on Saturday.
