DMX’s family are still keeping their hopes alive, as rumours about his death spread across social media on Thursday.
According to the report by TMZ, DMX’s family are holding out hope for a miracle, and while he remains on life support with no improvement in brain function, the grim circumstances are bringing his family closer together than ever.
As of late Thursday night, the rapper’s manager and close friend Steve Rifkind told TMZ his condition has not changed. However, sources close to his family said X’s mother, Arnett Simmons, his fiancée, Desiree Lindstrom, his ex-wife, Tashera Simmons and his baby mama, Yadira Borrego, along with his children, have become a tight-knit group over the last week while praying for improvement.
A source also told TMZ that his loved ones have been staying at his home and friends’ homes in the area, never too far from White Plains Hospital where DMX remains in a coma.
While the women in DMX’s life have never had beef in the past DMX made sure he kept everyone cordial, and the trauma of the last 7 days has strengthened their bond.
DMX’s family will need each other’s support in the days ahead, because they may soon be faced with an agonizing decision perhaps as soon as Friday, about whether to withdraw life support.
If and when that choice needs to be made, DMX’s mom will have the final word, TMZ reports.
The battery of tests performed on DMX Wednesday showed no signs of improved brain activity since he was first hospitalized late last Friday night. Multiple sources, including Rifkind, have told us the prognosis is not good.
