According to reports, The rapper was admitted to a White Plains hospital on Sunday after suffering a heart attack. Buzzfeed reports that the 50-year-old rapper, born Earl Simmons, is in a “vegetative state” with “lung and brain failure.”
“He’s still in the same condition — in a vegetative state, [with] lung and brain failure and no brain activity,” said Nakia Walker, DMX’s former manager. “We’re just praying and waiting. Praying and waiting.”
I’m not quite sure how George Zimmerman became a celebrity, but it’s official … X gonna give it to George Zimmerman.
TMZ has learned, rapper DMX has just been named Zimmerman’s opponent in his upcoming celebrity boxing match.
Celebrity boxing promoter Damon Feldman tells us, DMX was selected out of 15,000 applicants … all of whom wanted a piece of Zimmerman in the ring after he issued the open challenge to fight anyone willing to take him.
But no one wanted to beat Zimmerman’s ass more than DMX.
As we first reported, DMX promised to massacre Zimmerman in the ring if he got the chance. To be exact, he said, “I am going to beat the living f**k out him … I am breaking every rule in boxing to make sure I f**k him right up.” He then said he’d literally piss on George’s face.
Zimmerman might actually have a chance though — as we reported, he’s been training pretty hard for months … oh yeah, and he’s only 30 years old. DMX is 43.
The boxing match will be 3 rounds.
The date, time, and location of the fight will be announced at a news conference next Wednesday.
Ja Rule has some friendly advice for his fellow rapper DMX.
Weeks ago DMX (who’s been arrested 25 times), appeared on Dr. Phil and revealed that he has 11 kids by six different women, and 1 more on the way. The “Party Up” rapper also confessed to owing over $1.2 million in overdue child support.
During an interview promoting his new film, I’m in Love with a Church Girl, Ja weighed in on DMX’s downward spiral.
“Put a condom on!,” Ja said.
“I love X, we got a great history. We came up together in this business. It’s kind of sad to watch my homie go through what he’s going through.”
“This is America. We love to see people bounce back. We love that comeback story. I don’t think it’s far off for X to come back and do something significant, and people to love him again. I think he just needs to maybe seek God. It has to be something drastic that changes the way he lives and the way he goes about his everyday life style. Hopefully he’ll realize that what he’s doing is destructive.”
