Stacey Dash was hit hard this week by the realization that DMX had died more than a year ago.
The relative of Damon Dash, the Clueless star, claimed to have learned the tragic news on Wednesday (August 31). Dash criticized addiction in a tearful TikTok video that was later posted on Instagram.
I didn’t realize DMX was dead,” she admitted. From what I can tell, it was a cocaine overdose. It pains my heart that I have been sober for six years and one month now. Sobbing, I think of what he must have gone through to lose to it. Addiction was too much for him, and he eventually succumbed to it. Please. Don’t let this game end in defeat.
