DMX, New York rapper and actor, dies at 50
April 9, 2021
DMX, the New York rapper behind such iconic songs as “Party Up (Up in Here)” and “X Gon’ Give It to Ya” and the star of action movies including Exit Wounds, Cradle 2 the Grave and Romeo Must Die, died Friday. He was 50. DMX, whose real name was Earl Simmons, died at White Plains Hospital in New York after being admitted April 2 following a drug overdose and subsequent heart attack. He had been on life support and, according to his former manager, in a “vegetative state.”
Note: TMZ asserted that DMX had died of a drug overdose—a claim, or slander, that the rapper’s sister angrily denied, and that is otherwise dubious.
Below is an excerpt from “Don’t black lives matter if those ‘vaccines’ take them?”, an essay that I wrote in the summer of 2021, and that has not been published on this Substack:
Fact-checking” the untimely death of DMX
The coverage of his hospitalization, then his death, was largely dominated by the claim that DMX (né Earl Simmons) had overdosed on drugs—which, on its face, seemed plausible, considering his well-known early struggle with addiction; but it was only gossip, TMZ attributing that hot scoop to “our sources.” Nevertheless, that allegation quickly thundered nationwide via outlets like Fox News, People, US, the New York Post and the Hollywood Reporter—some saying that the overdose was just “apparent” or “reported,” but all conveying the impression that DMX had gone, or was about to go, the way of Michael Jackson, Prince and (for those with longer memories) Elvis Presley.
On April 8, that sordid buzz reportedly provoked “a member of the Simmons family” to approach Lyndon Abioye, a staffer at Media Takeout News (“The Most Visited African American News Network”), with the corrective claim “that it was NOT drugs that caused the heart attack.”
In an EXCLUSIVE interview, MTO News spoke with DMX'[s] family member who told us that the rapper received the COVID vaccine about a week before he suffered from the heart attack. DMX's family member told MTO News, [DMX] got the vaccine when they opened it up to people over 50. He got it so could go travel and perform, stuff like that. New York State opened up the COVID-19 vaccinations for people over 50 in mid-March.
And the family member suspects that DMX's heart attack could have been a reaction to the vaccine. The family member explained, "Everyone [in the news] keeps saying that [DMX] had a drug overdose. How do they know[?] I'm in the family and no doctor told me anything about an overdose." The family member is FURIOUS about the speculation surrounding DMX['s] drug use. She told MTO News, "Yes he had past issues with drugs. But nobody knows that he had an OD. It's f**cked up that it's being reported like that."
She told MTO News that she—and the family—are considering taking legal action against news publications prematurely concluding that DMX suffered a drug overdose. But what is clear—according to the family member—is that DMX did take the Covid vaccine.
Since DMX's "overdose" was apparently made up by TMZ, that familial protest has the ring of truth. Once it started popping up all over Instagram and Facebook, its plausibility was instantly confirmed by the monsoon of "fact-checks" launched to blow it out of everybody's mind (while Facebook flagged it as "misinformation"). Do a Google search on "DMX death COVID vaccine," and here's what you'll see first: "Fact check: No evidence DMX's heart attack was caused by COVID-19 vaccine" (USA Today); "No evidence rapper DMX had COVID-19 vaccine before his death" (Full Fact); "No, the COVID Vaccine Didn't Kill DMX" (Dallas Observer); "Fact-check: Did DMX receive a COVID-19 vaccine before his death?" asks Politifact, which calls the story "false." "Did DMX Take COVID-19 Vaccine Days Before Heart Attack," asks Snopes. "We wouldn't consider an unnamed source from a gossip site as a reliable source of information."
Those are among the more restrained denials that DMX's death had anything to do with his injection. Others went beyond purporting to "debunk" a (putatively) baseless claim to casting all those sharing it online as a Fifth Column of "far-right" extremists—a war-whoop vented with disturbing zeal by faux-left propaganda mills affiliated with the Democratic Party (Big Pharma). "Far-right accounts use DMX's death to baselessly fearmonger about COVID-19 vaccines," shrills Media Matters. ("Some people keep trying to overlap any negative health event with the vaccines [sic]," fumes the subhead.) "Far-right Extremists Unite to Peddle COVID-19 Vaccine Disinformation," warns Right Wing Watch ("A project of People for the American Way"): "From QAnon adherents to full-blown white supremacists, far-right extremists appear to be uniting in their quest to undermine the COVID-19 vaccine."
That specter of a far-flung Ku Klux Klan, "uniting" to promote the claim that DMX's COVID shot(s) resulted in his death, is something of a stretch, since that story had been broken by MTO News, "the most visited African American news network"—whose people evidently felt the heat: "MTO News received this information about DMX receiving the COVID-19 vaccine from a source related to the family," an "update" tells us, "and stands firmly on CDC's report that there has yet to be a proven link between the COVID-19 vaccine and anyone's death." Thus MTO's editors attempted to call off the dogs by making clear that they do not believe that "DMX's heart attack could have been a reaction to the vaccine," even if that "family member" does. Yes, MTO News "stands firmly on CDC's report" that those vaccines have killed no one. (Lyndon Abioye has not responded to requests for comment.)
Because he was so famous, and especially beloved by black Americans, the propaganda drive against the question as to whether DMX was killed by one of those "vaccines" was as thorough as it was often vitriolic, with shock troops mauling any public figure who dared share MTO News's report.
Lil Keed's cause of death confirmed by coroner 7 months after he died suddenly at age 24
January 3, 2023
Lil Keed's cause of death has been determined after he died suddenly in May. The rapper, who was associated with Young Thug's YSL Records, died at the age of 24. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner ruled that he died of natural causes due to eosinophilia, PEOPLE confirms. The Mayo Clinic defines eosinophilia as a "higher than normal level of eosinophils" which "are a type of disease-fighting white blood cell. This condition most often indicates a parasitic infection, an allergic reaction or cancer." According to the autopsy report obtained by PEOPLE, in Lil Keed's case, the coroner said it's unclear what caused the condition.
According to this Phase IV Clinical Study by the FDA and CDC:
Eosinophilia is found among people who get Pfizer BioNTech Covid Vaccine, especially for people who are female, 60+ old, and in the first week of getting the vaccine. The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people get Pfizer BioNTech Covid Vaccine and have Eosinophilia. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 401,887 people who have side effects when getting Pfizer BioNTech Covid Vaccine from the CDC and the FDA, and is updated regularly. You can use the study as a second opinion to make health care decisions.

Well said MCM.
On this subject, I would like to mention rapper O'Shea Jackson (Ice Cube) who turned down some film contracts worth several million because the contract required him to be "vaccinated". He did an interview with Tucker Carlson on this issue. More rappers should have followed his example.
I love how some do mental gymnastics trying to fool us into believing a 24 yr old died of natural causes. Its the "vaccine' or as I like to call it by its rightful name, the "bioweapon injection".
