DMX Passes Away At The Age Of 50; Ranveer Singh, Priyanka Chopra Pay Their Last Tribute

DMX, the raspy-voiced hip-hop artist who produced the songs Ruff Ryders' Anthem and Party Up (Up in Here)" and who rapped with a trademark delivery that was often paired with growls, barks and What! as an ad-lib, has died, according to a statement from his family. He was 50.

The Grammy-nominated performer died after suffering catastrophic cardiac arrest, according to the hospital in White Plains, New York, where he died. He was rushed there from his home April 2. The rapper, whose real name is Earl Simmons, had struggled with drug addiction since his teenage years. His lawyer, Murray Richman, had earlier said he could not confirm reports that DMX overdosed.

Bollywood celeb Ranveer Singh paid his last tribute to the rapper. 

Priyanka Chopra too tweeted about him and wrote, "He was one of my favourite artists growing up, and then to have had the opportunity to work with him was such a dream come true. Such a big loss for the music industry. #RIP DMX. Sending my thoughts and love to his family." 

Rest in peace, DMX.
