Stacey Dash had an emotional reaction this week. Her reaction comes after she learned that rapper DMX had died more than a year ago.
Stacey Dash cries over the death of DMX: Here’s what we know
As reported by The Daily Mail, Dash shared a video on her Instagram and TikTok accounts of herself crying over the fact that she had just learned that DMX had died more than a year ago.
Dash, who is a recovering drug addict herself, said she was ashamed that she did not know that the late Ruff Ryders rapper had passed away. DMX died at the age of 50 after suffering a cocaine-induced heart attack in April 2021.
“I am, today, six years and one month clean, and it breaks my heart,” she said in the video while wiping her tears. “He lost to it. He lost to that demon of addiction. Please don’t lose.”

“I was strolling through tiktok and found a DMX song that has saved me many times,” Dash captioned the post. “Suddenly it says RIP i know I am late, i did not know he passed away, he OD I am heartbroken – he was such a great guy.”
In October 2021, Dash opened up about her battle with drug addiction. She revealed that she first tried drugs when she was only eight years old. Adding that when she was 16, her mother—who was also addicted to drugs—gave her her first line of cocaine. She also shared that she “was taking 18 to 20 pills a day” at one point, and no one knew.

Stacey Dash is a cautionary tale of what happens when you turn your back on your people. She’s been in Black exile for the past 6 years, I’m not shocked she just found out.

Black exile is like sending info into space.
It takes light years to get to them.
