Over the last year, Doja Cat collaborated with Nicki Minaj, Chloe x Halle, City Girls, Mulatto, Saweetie, Ariana Grande, Megan Thee Stallion, and others. Another all-female collaboration is scheduled to land this week.
Doja announced she is releasing a new single titled “Kiss Me More” on Friday, March 9. Academy Award-nominated R&B singer/songwriter SZA will be a guest feature on the forthcoming record.
SZA previously worked with Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna, Cardi B, Chance The Rapper, Travis Scott, The Weeknd, Justin Timberlake, Megan Thee Stallion, and more. She earned a solo Hot 100 Top 10 hit this year with “Good Days.”
Doja Cat’s career catalog includes the global smash “Say So.” The remix version of that track with Nicki Minaj reached #1 on the Hot 100 chart in 2020. Her Hot Pink track “Streets” peaked at #16 in 2021.
Soulja Boy kept his name in the headlines over the last several weeks by publicly feuding with WWE superstar Randy Orton. It appears he is now turning his attention back to his music career.
Big Draco dropped the “She Make It Clap” single on March 12. The track has since gone viral on TikTok with over 1.2 million videos on the platform using Soulja Boy’s track.
The Atlanta-raised rhymer bragged about the virality of “She Make It Clap” to his social media followers. SB took to Twitter to declare that he is more successful as an independent artist than some rappers signed to major-label deals.
“N##### wasn’t saying stay independent last month! What’s the difference now!!!!” tweeted Soulja. “F### that s###. I’m finna sign and take over the whole industry again that’s what they scared of can’t hold me back it’s up and stuck watch this!!”
He added, “My song is doing better than rappers on a major level with marketing budgets let that sink in… I really freestyled ‘She Make It Clap’ on Twitch then dropped it as a real song and it went viral, #1 on TikTok, and I got like 5 deals from it. I’m goated bro, no kizzy.”
Of course, Soulja Boy felt the need to take a shot at his haters. On Wednesday, the 30-year-old Twitch streamer tweeted, “All my opps went out sad. I don’t think I got no more left [man shrugging emoji]. Checkmate b####.”
I really freestyled she make it clap on twitch then dropped it as a real song and it went viral, #1 on tiktok and I got like 5deals from it im goated bro no kizzy
I’m technically still #1 because the #1 song has front page promo ads on tiktok. Independent and winning like a major. Let’s go Drako gang. Sign today or no? pic.twitter.com/PXvgZ2CXsP
Back in 1998, DMX and Master P were two of the top stars in Hip Hop. DMX released two #1 albums that year – It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot and Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood. Master P also scored a #1 album with MP da Last Don.
Earl “DMX” Simmons is currently hospitalized in New York after he reportedly suffering a heart attack as a result of a drug overdose. Master P was recently asked about the Yonker-raised rapper’s legacy.
The New Orleans native told TMZ that X is an icon. Master P also said he is praying for him and his family. In addition, the man born Percy Miller discussed ways to help rap stars deal with addiction and hardships in the future.
“Imagine all the stuff that we could’ve prevented for DMX to help him,” offered Master P. “I feel like Hip Hop needs some type of union. The NBA has it. What happens when a guy falls off after he done sold millions and millions of records?”
Last summer, Logic officially announced his retirement. The Maryland-bred rapper told his fans that the No Pressure album would be his final music release.
Logic decided to come out of retirement to drop a new track. The cover art for the 1-minute “Tired In Malibu” features a photo of the 31-year-old entertainer’s son.
“Officially announcing my retirement with the release of ‘No Pressure’ executive produced by No I.D. July 24th… It’s been a great decade. Now it’s time to be a great father,” tweeted Logic on July 16, 2020.
It is not clear if “Tired In Malibu” is a precursor to a new project from the self-declared retiree or just a one-off loosie. At one point in the song, Logic does say, “Retired for a minute, but I guess I’m back.”
XO/Roc Nation recording artist Ahmad “Belly” Balshe dropped two new songs this week. Both “IYKYK” and “Money on the Table” are available on DSPs.
“Money on the Table” features Griselda representative Benny The Butcher. A music video for the collaboration will arrive on Friday, April 9 at 12 pm ET/9 am PT.
“This felt like something nostalgic when I first made it, and being a fan of Benny, it only made sense to have him on it. I just feel blessed to be back & doing what I love,” stated Belly.
Both “Money on the Table” and “IYKYK” will appear on the forthcoming See You Next Wednesday album. Belly’s discography already includes 2007’s The Revolution and 2018’s Immigrant.
The New York Post is one publication I regard as a news source of ill repute. However they took the cake today in a recent report about DMX. As the entire globe mourns (perhaps prematurely), DMX is fighting for his life. His loved ones, his family, his friends and us fans are all rooting for him to live. We are sending him and them nothing but positive energy.
However, in the world of Clickbait journalism, SEO, analytics and general poor taste, The New York Post took the time to slander DMX in an ambush piece of crap. They wrote a whole article about DMX his various real estate properties and the financial state of the rapper. The whole thing is pointless, but they felt it was important enough to publish at this critical time in his life.
This is AllHipHop.com remains a Black-owned, Hip-Hop owned publication that has respect for the culture as well as empathy for the people in it. This piece here shows that the New York Post has no taste, no class, and is barely human. They gotta be A.I. bots over there! It really makes no sense why they would write such a piece. There are in numerable stories to be told about DMX and his real estate and financial snap shot is not really something anybody is checking for unless you are evil or something.
Maybe sometime in the past, DMX did something to this publication or the editors and this is a good time to get back at him. Who knows. Either way, it’s a really poor example of taste and even revenge, if that is what it is. It would be the ultimate cowardly act of vengeance if this is that. They had plenty time to diss him when he was awake! I wasn’t going to say anything but legendary DJ Pooh actually put it up and I decided to follow suit. It just rattles the soul and baffles the brain to see somebody do something like this. Yeah. I said it.
While he was still in his hospital bed, Nicole’s lawyers negotiated with Dre’s team to secure a lump sum of $2 million in temporary support to hold her over until this month’s court hearing.
Just because the Mrs. isn’t extending her grace, doesn’t mean others aren’t. Dre took to Instagram to thank those who have been supporting him and helping him get better.
“Thanks to my family, friends and fans for their interest and well wishes. I’m doing great and getting excellent care from my medical team. I will be out of the hospital and back home soon. Shout out to all the great medical professionals at Cedars. One Love!!”
Cardi B has warned cheapskate bosses not to offer her deals that don’t cover her true worth because she knows when she’s being cheated.
The “WAP” hitmaker insists she’s a savvy businesswoman who has a keen radar for when she is being taken advantage of, and won’t let that happen.
“Sometimes I feel like a company might see, you know, a girl like me – a colored girl like me… from the ’hood and s###, and they might be like, ‘Oh, we could offer her a $2 million advance’,” Cardi said in an interview. “And the company is gonna make out of you, probably f###### $50 million, $100 million. And you settle for $2 million because they think that you’re so thirsty for that money that they just gonna give you the $2 million.”
And she insists racism is still a big problem at the top in America because white “influencers” are offered the best deals.
“I hate making everything about race because race do exist, race is real…,” Cardi adds. “Sometimes you do see that race really matters and s###, because I’ve been seeing some influencers, that are not, you know, like me – Caucasian influencers – and they’re getting paid big money.
“I’m a whole artist. And there is other artists that I know how much they’re getting paid. I’ve been doing my research now, heavy. And it’s like, ‘Damn, m############ is getting ripped the f### off’.’ And that’s why I’m like, ‘Nah, I’m gonna get everything that I deserve’.
“I feel like I’ve been on deals before that like, yeah, I got paid, but I feel like I deserved more. And I made sure this year that I get everything I deserve. Not just on music deals but on everything.”
TMG FRE$H is here to tell his story, one banger at a time. The Bay Area native recently released his new single “VLONE,” showcasing his versatility as both a singer and rapper.
The corresponding visual sees the Bay Area native dripped down in all-white, living the fast life surrounded by beautiful females.
The record arrives after the recent incident where FRE$H suffered from an unfortunate incident outside his home in Los Angeles, which ended in a significant loss.
But of course, the show must go on, and TMG FRE$H pours his heart and soul into the microphone. Growing up in Oakland gave him a sense of resilience, one that pours into his career in both music and film. To date, he’s written and directed many independent films, even planning to manage professional fighters in the near future.
AllHipHop: What part of the Bay are you from?
TMG FRE$H: I grew up in the East Bay and Berkeley area, then went to high school in Piedmont. I came to LA in 2014.
AllHipHop: Talk about your home studio in your crib, I see the purple lights!
TMG FRE$H: I like the colored lights, it adds to the atmosphere. I don’t have any equipment yet, I just moved in. I got the walls built out but I’m waiting on my equipment.
AllHipHop: When did you realize you could do music yourself?
TMG FRE$H: I felt like I wanted to try it, so I called my boy Southside up. I said “Southside, can I come record a song at your house?” He said “sure.” I went to his house and recorded my first song on 808 Mafia beats, he walked me through how to structure the hook and the verse. I ended up recording 3 songs that night. From there, I wanted to keep doing it.
A week or two later, it was All-Star weekend in LA. We’re all out at the club, the Migos were hosting a big event. I had slipped the DJ a little money to play the song I’d just recorded. He played it, we all turned up to it. That s### was live, having my song playing in the club. After that, I was really motivated to keep recording and I decided to do it for real.
AllHipHop: How did you originally meet SouthSide?
TMG FRE$H: It was through my friend Luxury Tax, that’s his boy. We’re always hanging out, always going out to the club together and kicking it. That’s my friend before I was even doing music.
AllHipHop: Who were your favorite artists growing up?
TMG FRE$H: My all-time favorite is Jay-Z for sure, both musically and Jay-Z the mogul. He’s what I aspire to be like. Being a boss all around not only for himself, but putting other people in position. That’s always been a thing I cared a lot about: trying to put other people in a position to win as well. Build an empire, go beyond an artist myself. Jay Z, Kanye, Drake, I f### with Post Malone a lot. New artists, I really like Saint JHN. I really like Kid Laroi.
AllHipHop: You on that R&B tip too?
TMG FRE$H: Yeah, I always say where R&B and rap meet at a borderline right there. That trap R&B.
AllHipHop: How does cannabis improve your life?
TMG FRE$H: I’m not a huge smoker, but I like those gummies because I can control how high I’ma get. They got the little 5mg so I know if I take one, I’ma feel this way. If I take 2, I’ll feel that way. I know exactly how high I’ma get. I like f###### with the gummies, it helps me mellow out sometimes.
AllHipHop: I’d think you’d have more control smoking.
TMG FRE$H: I don’t know how it’ll affect me since I don’t smoke much. I might hit it once or twice and end up really high because I don’t really smoke. The weed will be different levels of strengths but with the gummies, you’ll know exactly what the strength is.
AllHipHop: Does it help you creatively?
TMG FRE$H: Nah, I can’t record off of it. When I smoke, I go into my little shell.
AllHipHop: What does it mean to have “VLONE” out? I know it comes from a vulnerable place.
TMG FRE$H: It’s dope. It’s the first of many to come out this spring, this year. It’s important to put a song out that addressed what I dealt with over the past year. It’s a real introduction, this is me. I’ma let y’all a little bit into my world and things I’ve dealt with. It’s dope, it’s exciting to have it out. I think people like it, I’ve gotten a lot of positive responses from it which is always dope.
AllHipHop: Where was the video shot?
TMG FRE$H: For the video, we had to do Covid testing before. We had a Covid compliance officer on set. Somebody who‘d been around me had tested positive for Covid. I tested negative, so I couldn’t be on set. I had to direct it from home with a monitor and be on Zoom at the same time directing it from home. We had to get a double to play me, then we had to go shoot the second day with green screen. It was a different, kind of difficult experience shooting it. Overall, it’s an interesting thing to have gone through as far as advancing my skills as a director. It’s one more thing I can say I’ve done and made it through.
AllHipHop: You have Jeremih on your forthcoming project, Margiela Language. How did you guys tap in?
TMG FRE$H: I met Jeremih through this producer I was working with, BongoByTheWay. He was working on a whole project with Jeremih at the time. I had the base of the song “Top Down,” but I was really needing something to take it to that next level. We came up with the idea of seeing if Jeremih would be down to hop on It. Bongo linked us, Jerimih f##### with it. He came in, did the hook, wrote a verse. It became something dope. It’s about to be song of the summer.
AllHipHop: What’s the reality of the independent grind?
TMG FRE$H: S###, it’s a grind. You really gotta try and fail, that’s the main thing. You gotta try, you gotta fail in order to figure it out. You gotta keep pushing and keep going towards where you’re trying to go. As long as you continue to push forward, you’re never going to lose. You only lose when you stop trying. Push forward, learn from mistakes, and always trying to be better.
AllHipHop: What does TMG stand for?
TMG FRE$H: Transcend Music Group. I wanted the art to transcend being the basic thing. I wanted to transcend and be something bigger.
AllHipHop: Anything else you’d like to let the people know?
TMG FRE$H: Margiela Language coming soon. “Late Night” song and video coming soon, be on the lookout!

The New York born artist has taken the music industry by storm exploding outrage and controversy into a feverish popularity. You don’t have to like him, but having an opinion only feeds his undeniable creative fire.

Whenever a tragedy occurs, my mother’s words loudly echo in my head, “give me my flowers while I can still smell them.” Simply meaning, acknowledge me on this side of life. As you know, with the hustle and bustle of everyday living, we can sometimes get so consumed with ourselves that we tend to forget others. We forget to check in on our elderly relatives or neighbors. We forget to make the time for the people we love and the people who love us. We wait, as if we have time, to say “I love you” or “I appreciate you” or “thank you.” We wait until oftentimes it’s too late. And that becomes evident in the way we mourn our loved ones who transition.
A few days ago, the public received word that one of our beloved brothers in Hip Hop suffered traumatically leaving him in grave condition. It was reported that DMX overdosed, triggering a heart attack. He was taken to White Plains Hospital in New York, where he presently remains under hospital care. Many people, including myself, were taken aback by this awful news. His bouts with narcotics have been well publicized. And we know the potential dangers that come from indulging in drugs. Nevertheless that still can’t prepare you for events like this.
There have been all types of news reports published about DMX’s condition. I haven’t personally spoken to anyone with knowledge of DMX’s progress or lack thereof. So I won’t attempt to play the role of “janky” journalist or “click bait” blogger. I’ll never speak on anything or anyone that I don’t have personal knowledge of. With that being said, this article isn’t to give a speculative update on DMX’s condition. Instead, I want to use this editorial as an opportunity to remind us to (1) give our loved ones their flowers while they can still smell them and (2) to say a prayer for our brother.
In 2017, September 9th, one day after his 69th birthday my father died. He had succumbed to complications related to his bout with cancer. Like DMX my father fought his own demons hidden in substance abuse. And as a child, I always thought my dad chose heroin over me and my mother. For many years, I lived my life thinking that I wanted two things from my dad. I first wanted him to acknowledge that he did choose drugs over us. And secondly I felt he owed me an apology. I held on to these self-absorbing and inaccurate beliefs until my dad got sick. As I routinely visited the hospital during his extended stays or took him to his hospital appointments, we talked and my feelings started to subside, until they eventually changed altogether. I made my father’s condition less about me and more about him. I understood that my father’s addiction wasn’t who he was. Nobody’s addiction is.
DMX is many things. He’s a man of GOD. He’s a child of GOD. He’s a praying man. He’s a father. He’s one of the most phenomenal rappers to ever bless the mic. He’s an exceptionally gifted artist. He has blessed us with his artistry. He’s offered us music and moments that defined a time in our lives. He’s been transparent, vulnerable and honest about himself, in the scrutiny of the public eye, for more than 20 years. I commend him and give thanks for how he has used his flawed, but imperfectly perfect life to teach us and help us live better. On this day, I’d like to offer a prayer for DMX.
“Dear LORD, we come to you with bowed heads and humbled hearts to pray for our brother, DMX. LORD we pray that you be a constant presence during this time for DMX and his family. LORD we pray that you heal him from all injuries that he’s suffering from. LORD we pray that you comfort his children, family members and loved ones. LORD we pray, as in all things, that your will be done. Please let him know that he is loved and has impacted the world. We say this prayer in the name of our LORD and Savior JESUS CHRIST. Amen.”
Pharrell Williams is demanding federal authorities investigate the Virginia police shooting which led to the death of his cousin after spending his birthday eulogizing his late relative.
A handgun said to have been brandished by Lynch was recovered at the scene, but the officer’s body camera had not been turned on, prompting his family members and local community leaders to question the police’s version of events.
Pharrell paid tribute to Lynch in the wake of his death, calling for “transparency, honesty, and justice” from authorities, and after mourning the 25-year old’s loss at a private memorial on Monday, he took to Instagram to pressure federal investigators to get involved in the case.
“Thank you God for my 48th lap around the Sun,” he shared alongside a shot of the funeral program.
“This one is symbolic and a first because I had to speak at my cousin’s funeral, and was choked up with emotions. Too many unanswered City and State questions. Respectfully, I am calling for a Federal investigation.”
Addressing his fans, Pharrell added, “I also humbly ask that you all keep the family in prayer. His name is Donovon Wayne Lynch.”
Famous friends and collaborators, including Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, Pusha T, and Fabolous were among those who offered their support in the form of prayer hand emojis.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CNTF9BLH0GD/
His production partner Chad Hugo of The Neptunes commented, “In our prayers,” and veteran singer Charlie Wilson wrote, “Sending you love and prayers on your birthday nephew.”
Lynch’s death was one of three separate shooting incidents which occurred around Virginia Beach late on March 26th and into March 27th.
One of the other shoot-outs claimed the life of “Bad Girls Club” reality star Deshayla E. Harris, who was likely an innocent bystander. She was 29.
Rapper Xzibit is under pressure to rename his Napalm Cannabis brand after facing backlash for the chemical agent’s links to the Vietnam War.
The rapper unveiled the new business venture last year, but its name has only now come under scrutiny on social media due to the continued rise in anti-Asian hate crimes.
Many critics claim the use of the word Napalm conjures up images of innocent citizens killed and maimed by the bombs.
The uproar has even prompted owners at Los Angeles dispensary Higher Path to remove the products, including a pre-rolled joint known as The Grenade, from its store.
Xzibit has addressed the controversy, insisting the firm is simply named after his 2012 album.
In a video message, the rapper explained the branding is “by no means affiliated or a nod to the devastation that it’s had in its past” and voices his support for Asian-Americans while outlining his plans to use his platform to give back to the community.
The rapper then blasted TMZ for running a one-sided story.
“As I look at this thing it breaks my heart to be dealing with these small groups of people attempting to paint me with a broad brush. I can’t help to think back and remember I did a show called ‘pimp my ride’ and historically ‘pimps’ aren’t know for being nice people, with that in mind the show went on to be synonymous with car restoration and wish fulfillment,” Xzibit said.
“Claiming the word ‘Napalm’ is racist is a reach that is in sharp contrast to my integrity, my character and my track record of being a positive part of society, even with my creative choices as a hip hop artist. I’ve been getting calls all morning and the tmz story is misleading at best. To be clear 1 dispensary took our products off of their ‘digital shelf’ which means they probably still have it on the dispensary shelf. Either way this one sided b####### is not who I am or who I ever will be. Thank you to all of my cannibis operators and community that have reached out and showed support. I stand for peace love and unity. Now let’s get back to it,” Xzibit said.
Iggy Azalea was offered $15,000 to “have a conversation” with a mystery celebrity after leaking her own Instagram DMs on TikTok.
The “Fancy” star took to the social media site to reveal the number of messages she received from prominent musicians and other famous faces, the majority of which were sexual in nature.
However, one of the messages offered her a huge cash sum just to talk to him.
“I’ll pay you for your time,” he wrote. “I’ll give you 15k just to speak to me and have a conversation. Over the phone or on here. I’ll Cash App the money.”
Iggy blurred out the names of the senders to keep their identities under wraps but left the verified ticks next to their names and their follower counts visible – showing that they were all from profiles of big stars.
Another message saw the sender offer to marry Iggy, and promise that they’d look after her better than her ex Playboi Carti.
“I’ll play side n#### step daddy roleplay, toe massage, therapist, whatever role you want me to play,” they wrote.
Other messages were more crude, with one person offering to be Iggy’s “Pooh Bear” to “eat dat thing like a jar of honey.”
Speculation has been running rampant as to who some of the rappers were. Names like Travis Scott, Steve Aoki, and Brooklyn Beckham were floated as some of the candidates that may have been sending Iggy messages.
Well, Southside said he wanted to bring the smoke. And now it looks like that social media talk that he did so boisterously is coming back at him in a whole different way. No, he is not going to get the FADE he asked for from Kodak Black. He does now have the local authorities looking at him in a most curious way.
Apparently, they suspect, or just think, that Southside may have orchestrated a recent shooting that involves Kodak Black. Kodak Black was not injured at the shooting which took place near a McDonald’s but a security guard was struck. They don’t have any suspects – that I know of – except the one that was talking the loudest on social media.
Does this mean that Southside actually did something to harm his adversary? No. But that’s just how things work these days. The COPS and FEDS are all over our social media! Also, it likely means that there’s someone else out there trying to split Kodak’s nappy wig. If you’re going to shoot or harm someone, you really don’t want to be talking so loudly on social media. Well Southside was talking very loudly and the feds/laws came knocking accordingly.
I am not suggesting that Kodak Black is a Tekashi69, but something about getting pardoned by Trump tends to scream law-enforcement to me. That’s just my feelings! I don’t think you wanna get too close to somebody that is cool with the former president in that manner. Dude has a Trump ring.
By the way, KB has dismissed that this has anything to do with with rap.
“A b##ch ain’t even gone play with me. When I saw the (reports) I was like, ‘What the f##k?’ This ain’t no s##t like — Y’all trying to make it like, one of these little industry b###hes. That s### was just some little bulls##t on some lame little s##t that transpired on some lame s##t, homie. If you a real stepper out here, you gone know, I’m in this life. Baby blue s##t. That’s Yak right there. Leave me alone, man. I ain’t f###ing with nobody. Yak been zoolin’.”
I don’t know what all that means, but somebody said he means. “I’m real and Southside didn’t do this.”
Good too see Kodak out there flossin’ in the midst of all this danger.
The police are investigating online threats against rapper Kodak Black, after a security guard for the rapper was hospitalized after a shooting in a McDonald’s parking lot in Florida.
According to reports, the investigators are looking into threats made by producer Southside, who was irate with the “Zeze” rapper for comments he made about his girlfriend Yung Miami of the City Girls.
Kodak eventually apologized for the heinous lyrics, but Southside was not hearing it. On Easter Sunday (April 4th), just before the wild shootout, the 808 Mafia boss issued some threats to Kodak.
“We can bump, too…I’ll be back in Miami in a week. Pull up wherever we can bump, don’t bring no security. Bring your n#####, I’m gonna bring my n#####, we can bump.”
His drivers tried to cut them off by having one of their cars block the entrance to the restaurant’s parking area, but when a suspicious vehicle pulled up, a passenger opened fire, hitting a bodyguard in the leg.
The injured employee was taken to a nearby hospital, where he is now in a stable condition.
According to Kodak’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, the rapper was not in the same vehicle at the time and is unharmed.
Police are now investigating the apparent ambush, which occurred months after Kodak was released from prison by former U.S. President Donald Trump, who commuted his sentence for weapons charges in January.
People around the world are continuously offering prayers and positive thoughts for Earl Simmons. The Hip Hop superstar better known as DMX was hospitalized after apparently suffering a drug overdose on April 2.
According to TMZ, DMX’s manager confirmed that the 50-year-old rapper/actor is still in a coma and on life support at a New York medical facility. The website reports:
[Steve] Rifkind says doctors will perform a battery of tests Wednesday to determine the level of brain function. As we reported, when DMX OD’d Friday night, his brain was deprived of oxygen for nearly 30 minutes. Multiple sources told us … he had “little brain activity.”
Earlier this week, the family of DMX issued the following statement:
On Friday night, April 2nd, 2021, our brother, son, father, and colleague DMX, birth name of Earl Simmons, was admitted to White Plains (NY) Hospital, facing serious health issues. We ask that you please keep Earl/DMX and us in your thoughts, wishes, and prayers as well as respect our privacy as we face these challenges. Thank you.
DMX is apparently going to see his most critical moments today. According to rumor, in some reports, Earl Simmons will undergo a series of brain tests today that will determine exactly how much activity is going on in his head. I believe, per those reports, that that will be the deciding factor as to whether or not they will continue to try to save his life or pull the plug from life-support.
I spoke to a doctor, that is familiar with practices related to life-support, but not specifically this case and that person gave me some startling revelations. The main one was that people stay on life-support for a fairly short time, roughly 2 weeks before they stop. A number of things come in to play with that decision. One is money. It is expensive to keep someone in a hospital on life-support for such an extended period of time. DMX is successful and popular, but his finances are not in the best of shape. Another factor is healthy insurance and how somebody is covered. Clearly, I have no idea what sort of insurance X has, but I hope its good. Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina, was on life-support for the longest time.
The other is simply hope, and the notion that they may actually wake up. Most people I know have maintain that they do not wanna exist in a vegetative state. But most people are not DMX. We still have a ton of hope!
The sources that I have don’t have any new news they are reporting, but I continue to see things in main stream media about DMX. It is not hopeful in their eyes. It is definitely funny seeing the news reports about DMX, many of which are not flattering. But these people have to get their search engine optimization on and continue to write something, even if it’s anything, about DMX.
But we continue to pray regardless!
This is not really cool but it is something that I will note. Rapper Sada Baby said, in so many words, that he wishes God would take Lil Nas X instead of DMX. First of all, God has not claimed X yet, even though some are quick to hop on social media. I guess it ain’t not funny, but it is worthy of saying that it always seems like the best rappers we love are “taken” from us and the ones that we don’t like hang around. Sada Baby clarified the statement saying he did not really wish death on Lil Nas X.
Furthermore, the purchasers of all the limited NFT’s should expect a special surprise personal gift from 6ix9ine to be revealed at a later date. And he may offer even more perks from owning his first NFT as we get closer to the Friday April 9th release.
