Posted by Stacey Dash has shared a new video in which she mimics the late DMX, arriving less than two weeks after admitting she’d only just found out about his death.
The Clueless actor and cousin to Damon Dash shared a tear-filled TikTok video on August 31, 2022, where she claimed to have discovered the heartbreaking news over a year after the rapper’s passing.
“I didn’t know DMX died,” she said, before going on to condemn the disease of addiction. “I didn’t know, from a cocaine overdose. I am today, six years and one month clean, and it breaks my heart. It breaks my heart that he lost to it. He lost to that demon of addiction. Please. Please, don’t lose.”
This led to a number of people to question where she’d been the past year or so, with some even suggesting she was using drugs again.
In a new post shared to TikTok on Friday (September 9), Dash uses DMX’s 2006 single “Lord Give Me A Sign” to rebuke the “devil” as she fights to stay sober, after explaining in a previous post that the devil had been busy in her head as of late.
Passionately mimicking X on the Scott Starch-produced track, Dash raps the lyrics: “Devil, I rebuke you, for what I go through/ Been trying to make me do what I used to/ But all that stops right here/ As long as the Lord’s in my life, I will have no fear/ I will know no pain from the light to the dark/ I will show no shame, spit it right from the heart/ ‘Cause it’s right from the start.”
