As #RIPDMX started popping up on social media and celebrity timelines last night, DMX’s manager, Steve Rifkind is calling for a stop to the rumors. “Everybody, please stop posting with these rumors,” Rifkind says in the clip. “DMX is still alive. Yes, he is on life support, but please. It’s not helping anybody by seeing these false rumors. Let the family relax for a night. You will be hearing a statement from the family sometime tomorrow. I’ve been with DMX for the past three years, so the only thing I ask is just stop with the rumors. He is still alive and he is still on life support.”
We are still praying for DMX. Check out 28 pictures of the rapper from over the years. What is your favorite DMX song?
