DMX Conquers Coke Habit
After years of battling drug addiction, troubled rapper DMX may have finally kicked the habit.
According to TMZ, Dark Man X is finally clean, saying to the media outlet, “Everyone was taking advantage of me with my finances, trying to put me in the direction to fail.”
“I have 10 kids. I have to drive them in the right direction, so I let the cocaine go,” he said.
“I am on a spiritual road to do right in my life. I am leaving out all negativity and going to stay on the right road to positive.”
DMX’s pastor also released a statement on behalf of the now clean MC, “When [DMX] first came to my church he looked broken, sad, and full of struggle. Now you see a dramatic change. You see that the drugs and alcohol aren’t in his life.”
DMX, who was released from prison in July, is currently working on a new album Redemption of the Beast.
