Shortly after DMX cancelled three shows due toย a โmedical emergency,โ he is reportedly checking into rehab.
DMX has previously been open about his past struggles with drugs and addiction, so when he felt that he wasย โmoving to a dark place,โ according to TMZ, ย the famous rapperย wanted to keep from sliding into that same path.
DMX, real name Earl Simmons,ย checked into rehab last Thursday, and hisย manager, Pat Gallo, and ex-wife, Tashera Simmons, both reportedly encouraged the decision.
Gallo also issued a statement to fans apologizing for the cancellations, saying,ย โIt is important right now that he take some time off to focus on his health so that he can be a better father, friend and entertainer.โ
โWe are eternally grateful for the outpouring of concern and support that has poured in. We ask that you please keep X in your prayers as he embraces your support.โ
