This follows the reports of DMX’s cause of death last week.

DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, died from a cocaine-induced heart attack, which prevented circulation to his brain.

“It was cardiac arrest for a period of time, so there was no circulation to the brain,” said a medical examiner’s office rep, who also added X’s regular cocaine use ultimately leading up to his death.

“His death literally happened immediately because the brain was dead,” the source added. “So obviously, there were a number of days where he was on ventilatory support and so forth in the hospital. However, he was diagnosed brain-dead early on…He never woke up from [a] coma.”

DMX was taken off of life support after being in a coma for almost a week before being taken off ventilation systems and pronounced dead on April 9. He was 50 years old.

One of the most memorable moments of DMX’s memorial service in Brooklyn’s Barclay Center was the farewell speech given by his ex-wife Tashera Simmons. Married to the troubled rapper/actor for a tumultuous, yet unwavering 14 years, Mrs. Simmons proved that she was indeed X’s other half.

In the video below, Simmons gave a tear-jerking speech about her years with DMX, the good and the bad. Around the 25 minute mark of her speech, Simmons introduced X’s current fianceé Desiree Lindstrom, who she instructed to “represent him” before exiting the stage herself.

See the entire heartfelt speech below.

[WATCH] Drag-On Curses Out Security For Stopping Him At DMX Memorial

Screen Shot 2021 04 27 at 8.02.00 AM

The Ruff Ryders showed up and showed out for DMX’s memorial in Brooklyn; everyone from Dee and Waah to the hundreds and possibly thousands of motorcyclists with the elaborate “Double R” emblem on their vests. Drag-On, one of the Ruff Ryders’ premiere artists, went through a little hassle with security just to be allowed in the Barclay Center’s secure area and the rapper/actor showed his obvious displeasure with the treatment in Brooklyn.

Drag-On went on IG Live before making his way to an area where a wristband is required, but was stopped by a female guard, who can be heard saying in the video below, “If you don’t have a wristband we wasting our time.”

Not long after, someone came through and granted Drag-On access, but not before he let her have it, saying, “It’s like she want attention! Now you got my motherf****** attention! How many times this stupid b**** gon’ keep f****** stopping me?!”
