Remembering Legendary Rapper DMX
The family of DMX announced his passing on Friday, April 9th at White Plains Hospital In New York. DMX, whose birth name was Earl Simmons, was 50 years old.
“He loved his family with all of his heart and we cherish the times we spent with him,” a statement from the family, released to TMZ, read. Earl’s music inspired countless fans across the world and his iconic legacy will live on forever.”
DMX has inspired many with his music and his words.
“I don’t need to have a goal in mind. I just need to have a purpose,” DMX shared with GQ in 2019. “And I don’t even know that purpose, because God has given me that purpose since before I was in the womb, so I’m going to fulfill that purpose…whether I want to or not, whether I know it or not, because the story has already been written. If you appreciate the good, then you have to accept the bad.”
