Some persons who have commented on his condition include Tyrese, who posted a short clip of DMX doing an interview with Dr. Phil with a prayer.
“They em make em like KING DMX anymore,” Tyrese wrote. “The lord Jesus Christ that you have shed light on… You have saved so many souls by putting the goodness of the Lord on their radar and he’s not done with you yet…Stay strong king my heart is heavy today and I will be praying a REAL PRAYER for you to pull UP and OUT of this place and rebuke the devil for ever for ever trying to take you back into this place.” He ends the post with, “Keep fighting king keep fighting….Thank you for what’s already done AMEN!”
