Stacey Dash is currently very upset over the death of DMX. She claims she just found out about the loss more than a year after the beloved rapper’s passing.
Everyone who knew and loved DMX experienced shock and loss when he passed away in April 2021 from a cocaine-induced heart attack. While there are surely still mourners for the Mount Vernon native, Stacey Dash only recently began her own grief after learning of the news approximately a year and a half late.
