The OBC team is keeping the family of rapper DMX in their thoughts today as the 50-year-old remains in a coma following a heart attack brought on by an alleged drug overdose. Via DM:

Doctors at White Plains Hospital in New York have said the 50-year-old rapper’s prognosis is poor while family members have said his life hangs in the balance. 

DMX was said to be off life support earlier Saturday but his lawyer later said that the news was a ‘misstatement’. 

Sources told TMZ that the star, whose real name is Earl Simmons, overdosed around 11pm on Friday and was rushed to the hospital where he is in critical care.

One relative explained that paramedics tried to resuscitate him for 30 minutes when he was taken to hospital on Friday night, during which time he was deprived of oxygen for an extended period. 

Doctors say the lack of oxygen severely affected his brain, with one family member saying ‘It’s not looking good.’
