UPDATE: We do have an update for Black Rob. In a new video that has surfaced, the rapper details his struggle, revealing that he has no real place to live at the moment. He has suffered from strokes and high blood pressure in the past.
Original Story:
We lost a true music legend in DMX today (April 9th). Love and tribute for the rapper is pouring in from across the world and rightly so.
But it looks like another one of our greats is in a not so good condition as far as health is concerned. DJ Self posted a video of former Bad Boy rapper Black Rob in the hospital bed where he pays homage to DMX. The most striking part of the video is how weak Black Rob is looking in the video, visibly combatting a health issue.
“The pain is crazy man.. it’s helping me out though,” he can be heard saying in the clip. At this point, there is no confirmation as to what Black Rob is going through but we are certainly sending our prayers do him and wishing a speedy recovery.
Fans were quick to react to the triggering video on Twitter.
That Black Rob video is sad to see. He mustered up a lot of strength to show love to X
