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.
Stacey Dash took to her TikTok account to post her tearful reaction to the untimely news, sharing details of her own sobriety after learning that addiction took part in the rapper’s death.
“Okay y’all. I’m ashamed I didn’t know. I didn’t know DMX died, I didn’t know, from a cocaine overdose,” Dash said through tears in her video on Wednesday. “I am today six years and one month clean. It breaks my heart. Breaks my heart that he lost to it. He lost. He lost to that demon of addiction. Please, please don’t lose.”
In the caption for the confusing video, Dash further explained that she was scrolling through TikTok when she saw a DMX song that had “saved” her many times.
“Suddenly it says #RIP i know I am late, i did not know he passed away,” she wrote under her video. “He #OD I am heartbroken – he was such a great guy #Devastated #StaceyDash #fyp #sober.”
Naturally, many people disagreed with the actress’ claim that she only learned of DMX’s passing in the comments section. Someone commented,
“Yes he been passed away” to which Stacey Dash replied, “Question. Yo! How can so many people not have ears to hear????”
Another person asked, “What where have you been, it was everywhere that DMX passed away,” which prompted another response from Stacey, writing: “I didn’t know. Like I said. I don’t watch tv or read the news. So…”
