Prayer vigil held for DMX as rapper fights for life in White Plains ICU
A prayer vigil is being held for rapper DMX as he fights for his life at White Plains Hospital.
He has been on life support since suffering a heart attack Friday night.
Fans and friends were there all afternoon, playing his music and gathering to pray for DMX.
There were so many people there that police had to block off the street.
At one point, there were at least 500 people packed outside the hospital.
His family gathered everyone for a massive group prayer - and others honored him by dancing to his songs.
DMX may be a rap superstar now, but people who were there still see him as a local.
He grew up in Yonkers, experienced poverty and played basketball at the Nepperhan Community Center.
Even though he’s famous now, he’s still known for feeding local families on Thanksgiving and donating money back to the community center that raised him.
The 50-year-old rapper was rushed to the hospital after having the heart attack in his White Plains home.
The official cause hasn’t yet been confirmed, although there are reports it was related to a drug overdose.
The people at the prayer vigil said they would stay there all night long.
