Dex posted a video on IG over the weekend, seemingly inebriated, rapping while showing off his “Sad” and “Love” tattoos. the Chi-Town emcee later posted on Twitter, “I don’t wanna smile no more,” which prompted his followers to tell him to seek help.
Dex’s Instagram page no longer has any posts available.
It has not been confirmed what substance or addiction Dex, whose real name is Dexter Gore Jr. is being treated for, but Dex has been struggling with substance abuse for a good portion of his career.
Last month, NLE Choppa begged Dex’s label to get him some help, to which Dex replied, “He cares, at least somebody cares. He didn’t say nothing wrong, at least somebody cares. I just wanted to say I really appreciated the love and support, but the world on drugs and I look mighty dam fine.”

We reported yesterday that DMX checked himself back into rehab, but this time it was a precaution to avoid anymore legal troubles.
A source close to the rapper told TMZ the stress of him performing and one of his kids being in-and-out of the hospital has him tempted to use again. He’s aware that he needed help to balance his work and personal life without being under the influence.
Relapsing puts his freedom on the line, and the source reportedly told the tabloid that he wants to continue to support his family, friends and entertain his fans.
DMX is currently on probation and if he fails a drug test, he’s going back to the slammer.
After checking himself back into a rehab facility, the Yonkers rapper had to cancel all upcoming shows to prioritize his sobriety.
The Ruff Ryder has struggled with drug addiction and has been to jail a couple times due to drug-related offenses. He was recently released from prison at the top of the year for tax evasion.
The “How’s It Going Down” rapper was recently photographed for a GQ cover looking well and healthy. We’re hoping that he continues to stay on course to his road to sobriety.

For much of 2019, DMX has been in a comeback stride. At the beginning of this year (January 25), DMX was released from a West Virginia prison after spending much of 2018 behind bars for a tax evasion conviction. Since then, the onetime superstar has been on a climb that feels distinct in a career filled with peaks and valleys. The 48-year-old Yonkers, New York representative toured to honor the 20th-anniversary of his debut album. In May, he was among the headliners at Minnesota’s Soundset Festival. It was recently confirmed that the artist reunited with Def Jam Records, the label and distributor that partnered with Earl Simmons for five consecutive #1 albums in the 1990s and early 2000s. Then, last month, X dropped his most significant song in years, appearing alongside Swizz Beatz and Rick Ross for the video single “Just In Case.” The track that released in August belongs to The Godfather Of Harlem soundtrack, which Swizzy is overseeing. DMX Toasts To His Comeback Campaign In A Video With Rick Ross & Swizz Beatz However, late Saturday night (October 12), X’s team shared with the public that the rapper has checked himself into a rehab facility. “In his ongoing commitment to putting family and sobriety first, DMX has checked himself into a rehab facility. He apologizes for his cancelled shows and thanks his fans for their continued support,” an Instagram post told fans.
Earlier this month, X reportedly missed a scheduled appearance at a Def Jam Records 35th-anniversary-themed party. On Saturday, DMX was also billed to appear during a DJ Paul and Juicy J Three 6 Mafia reunion concert in Mississippi. Throughout his career, Simmons has battled addiction, including crack cocaine. As recently as 2017, Simmons has entered rehab facilities. DMX Breaks Down While Discussing How God Saved His Life (Video) In an interview with GQ published less than a month ago, X confirmed that he still drinks alcohol. It is unclear if this rehabilitation is related to any particular substance.

Wendy Williams is in a vulnerable position right now. The daytime TV host and former radio shock jock revealed she’s staying in a sober house, and word is it’s because of her husband who is often accused of infidelity and alleged physical abuse.
According to Page Six, a source from the set of The Wendy Williams Show is pinning the blame on Willams’ husband Kevin Hunter.
Says the source, “No one thinks it’s the right place for Wendy. She seems so frail and vulnerable. It’s frightening just how completely under Kevin’s control Wendy is . . . But she won’t hear a word against him. Those close to her are terrified something awful is going to happen. She comes to the set looking terrible.”
Williams recently told her audience that after she tapes she is taken back to a sober house with “smelly boys” (who have become her family) where it’s lights out at 10pm. She also said she used to abuse cocaine and never really addressed the habit via rehab.
Also recently, Charlamagne Tha God, who used to work with Williams, addressed the situation on The Breakfast Club.
“Wendy Williams needs rehab from her husband, Kevin Hunter,” he said. “This is yet another lie, another half-truth, whatever you want to call it, that is deflecting from the actual issue, which is the alleged abuse and infidelity from her husband. There’s a difference between being real and being exposed. Wendy only came out with that yesterday because The Daily Mail article came out yesterday saying she was in rehab for pills and alcohol because of her husband Kevin Hunter’s alleged physical abuse and infidelity.”
Well damn.
Prayers up to Wendy Williams.

On Sunday morning, rapper Lil Xan hit Twitter to inform his followers that he is out of rehab. “Out and sober,” he wrote two weeks after checking himself in.
Unfortunately, it seems he got into trouble just a fewer hours later. Posting a video to Instagram, he claimed he was “being detained for no reason” after playing music at 10 in the morning.
“Not a gated community just playing music at 10 having a good sunday lol cops came with hands on there [sic] guns asking me to put my hands where i can see them and i did. Detained for no reason and these cops profiled me for the way i look,Anyone who thinks wants to say i’m not sober can think that but i’m Completely sober and was acting very calm,” he reportedly wrote, according to PageSix.
Before heading into rehab, the rapper spoke on needing to kick his opioid addiction and his plans to drop “Lil Xan” as his rap name and instead go by his given name, Diego. We wish him good health.

Orlando’s friend, Danny Boy, the owner of a Vegas restaurant that the That’s So Raven star broke into a month ago , reached Wendy Wheaton and Tommy Red, Hollywood producers with contacts in the rehab world.
