Not sure why I'm watching this other then I needed to see him or just something or anything with him in it..This is making me more sad for him. But love you X. RIP King. You will never be forgotten Icon.
@@sexyscorpio8087 His mother. I think it started there. I hope she knows she contributed to it. He talked about how awful she was to him. He couldn't ever get over not having her love and a bond with her. He said she abandoned him. He eventually had his granny. I wished she couldn't been enough for him. Then his mentor introduced him to crack at 14. I wished he knew his worth. If he knew his worth I think he would still be here. He was a walking king on earth. RIP.
thats regular DMX. When you live life hard its hard for people to understand you. If he was high off coke/crack, hes not even doing the interview. If hes high off of alcohol and weed, Hed be wayyyyy more aggressive and disrespectful. X was born tp be a good man and he was in his heart. Sometimes the circumstances of life make that very hard. You can only know the feeling if you have lived it. Many people havent and therefore say hes high as an excuse,
That man was not high! Wtf makes you think he was high? All this guy is doing is being him, and explaining how much of a bitch that woman Iyana was. I seen that episode, and never watched another one again because she was so disrespectful getting in that man’s business and blindsiding him with questions about him being on drugs which I don’t think he was at the time. R.I.P. to that man X, y’all are some very very disrespectful people on social media who needs to be punched in the face and stomped to the ground by someone with Timberland boots the buttaz at that! All y’all need to be straightened out and fixed up quick.
What? My heart is breaking. I loved DMX as a kid,THE PROBLEM HERE IS HE NEEDS TO BE CLEAN. IF ANYONE REALLY WATCHED THIS HE STATED " MY SON NEVER SAW ME HIGH" THEN LATER DMX SAID HOW HIS SON SHOWED HIM A PIC ON THE IYANA SHOW AND HIS SON SAID I WANT YOU LIKE THIS DAD" DMX GOT ON HIS RIGHTEOUS TIP AND "I WAS HIGH IN THAT PIC" ADMITTING THAT HIS KIDS HAVE SEEN HIM HIGH. I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW THAT IF HE WAS CLEAN HE WOULD BE WITH HIS WIFE AND KIDS FACTS. I PRAY FOR HIM BECAUSE HE IS SO TALENTED AND HE CAME FROM NOTHING AND WILL MAKE IT IF HE GETS CLEAN. HE NEEDS A LONG PRISON BID.
Please don't curse out DMX for being the person that he is. Just pray for him. Pray that one day he's see the light instead of ending up dead. Drugs has changed the way he thinks and reacts. The man is crying out for help but his inner demons are winning this battle. I pray to God he starts defeating the demons.
No matter if he does drugs or not, he still a human being he has a heart like everbody else .. its sad to see him like dat, people dont know nothing about other peoples lifes .. most people have something negative to say, i whish the better for him .. for me he still one of the best mc's of all times DMX THE DOGG !!
Funny to see ppl defend this dude like they really know him. I hope he is able to sober up and stay sober. James Brown Jr. for sure! He's so intelligent when he's sober
Now that he's died, his fans are still defending him as if they know him personally. Saying things like: "He was a good family man and he loved all his family and his children" my ❓ is: how do you know? Anytime your own son (Xavier)wants to kill you if you do one more thing to his mom, I question how much love is dad truly giving. Tasheera (ex-wife) said that she knew she had to leave DMX when Xavier reached the point of wanting to kill him and dmx having 7 kids with other women while married to her
It's crazy that people support this habit. He obviously had a very unhealthy control over his son and his son needed to speak how he felt and needed help in guiding him to that. He didn't listen to his son and tried to belittle everything his son felt. There was no respect he gave to his son as even a man. He's wrong and his habit does not make it ok. No man on here is going to let him talk to them like that.....not if you feel disrespected.
DMX never once lied about his addiction to drugs or women!! In an interview his wife said that she feels he's addicted to sex and drugs but still married him. We as people be so quick to judge not knowing the background or what lifestyle experience made him the way he is. Michael Jackson one of the biggest stars ever same way, we applaud when things are good but look down on them when there reality becomes reality. Yes he needs help but he been needing help since he dropped!!
He definitely smoked crack before he did this interview As long as he can depend on pain and the idea of people wanting to hurt him he has a reason to get high
She definitely was disrespectful towards him during that interview she has no right to come off to a man like that. She doesn’t know his life his kids life etc
Well she said he was a whole 2 days late & called her several bitches thee entire time. His Ex wife had intentions of getting help but his intentions were to promote himself. He also was high & clearly suffered from bipolar disorder and a bit of narcissism. He was definitely in denial about his addiction and his actions while abusing drugs. His soul is at rest because he loved God & it’s evident 🙏🏾
I won't Neva forget that my G ! ,keep ur head up my dude and be there for ur kids atleast cuz they need u and ur fans need u too ,don't let that drug take u away from us X word up ,much love Fam 1 ..
Poor man, the drugs really fucked him up, can't even understand 99% of what he's saying. The most fucked up thing about drug addicts is that they're not only hurting themselves but everyone around them suffers too. Hope he can find the strength to give up the drugs and have a real relationship with his kids.
DMX does need some trainings in communication. That's all. being clean only comes with help of one who loves you. You can't demand a clean relationship if you can't put the work in. Help your father and keep him clean, instead of demanding shit son
+ali mamoer Problem being tho he wasn't even willing to consider it and until he's ready no one can help him. it's the same with any kind of addict even cigarettes
No, but the larger point is...he's saying I want to talk to my son....blah blah blah....But I don't want to acknowledge any of the messed up stuff that I did in my past....and so the show just simply showed how he reacts when confronted with the truth. Total denial, total justification, total defense mechanism, cursing, etc. So if the truth provokes you...then simply YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH. You did some messed up stuff and you got to be a man and own up to it and make amends to people.
The way he described his experience with Iyanla us EXACTLY the reason I stopoed watching her show. It bothered me the way she handled herself when ppl tried t ik open up to her. I have always wondered what her credentials are cause she doesn't seem very professional.
He has to collect his thoughts before he speaks. He's usually fast with his tongue but hey, we all know to some extent what my nigga been using throughout his life. I love my nigga cause he real!!! High or sober.
Dmx is just going through a rough time in his life and needs detox not some bullshit emotional confrontation...Iyanla was a terrible person to try and help Dmx..he doesnt need a counselor, he needs to detox and find peace
So sad. DMX’s father was homeless and not in his life. His mother abandoned him in a children’s home. He never got the love a child needs. His addiction, music and tragic life is a reflection.
That's why he was like that I knew he'd die early cause it was too much pain living this life for him. I'm happy he's at peace regardless of what people think.
If you listen to DMX his drug addiction got worse when he started making money but now he's no longer on drugs. He slipped a couple times but got right back up. The way he acts and how jittery he is, that comes from long term drug use. He's been on cocaine since 14 years old and he's now in his 40's. That's A LOT of years abusing drugs.
Rell Moore That's a current and clear addict. He switched crack cocaine for alcohol. Alcohol is the most addictive substance in the world, equal to heroine. He's not doing well my love. Not at all. Not by any stretch of the imagination. And this is coming from someone that has had church in her car listening to his cassette tapes and CDs. But I also know an active addict when I see and more importantly HEAR one.
Angb Rwill true he s so high and out of his mind that he doesn’t realize what the purpose of him being on iyana with his son it was to fix his personal problem and have a relationship with Xavier rather than deal with the problem x just dissmisses the issue at hand that s why she kicked him off this interview proves that he s gotten worse since then
The bottom line is that he doesn't want to accept responsibility for all the fucked up things he did in front of his son...he wanted to justify everything that his son said hurt him over the years....and Iyanla was coaching his son what to say cause clearly he was struggling with expressing it to his father himself...that was mediators and coaches do in that type of setting...this was not a set up..his ass been getting high and making fucked up decisions
Miscah Borum That is exactly what happened. His addiction would not let him take responsibility. So he flipped it to him trying to be "open", but she was mean and shut him down. Addiction is brilliant in the way that it makes you the most selfish person on earth. It also makes you a convincing liar to those who are looking for the lie to make them feel better. He missed a golden opportunity to do right by his son, even in the thick of his addiction. Smdh
SpringDreams2 Thank you! I was gonna say the same thing! Ms. Iyanla was basically holding DMX accountable for his actions and helping/ guiding his son to express his feeling. She does not baby u or bite her tongue. I went to her womens retreat and she is the exact person that u see on tv! She helped me change my life, i will forever be Grateful for that experience.
i have loved DMX since he first came out..Ive read his autobiography and I feel sooooo sorry for him, i could NEVER speak negative of this man...back in his hey day, the prayers he used to recite at the end of his concerts truly touched spirits and souls....I pray one day that he'll get back to his right mind, free of ALL drugs including weed..
His ex-wife tasheera confronted him about these prayers and surmons at his concerts, but would then come home and do the opposite of what he was preaching. It's the actions of the person, not the words of invoking gods name. People use gods name to put up that righteous front.
I have a lot of addicts in my family and I know when someone is high. He’s clearly high right here. DMX has many coherent interviews. This isn’t one. Any true X fan can tell the difference when he was sober or not. This isn’t disrespect to his legacy. DMX is an ICON and a legend. Where he started is not where he finished but we have to be real with where ppl we love are in life at the moment that they are there so maybe we can help them not get to a tragic end. Like Swizz said at the memorial service, if ppl did more, showed more concern and love when he was here, maybe we wouldn’t be here now. I love DMX. He was a man of God, a true prophet. And because he was that, the devil tested him most. But we gotta start grabbing our ppl up when we see them like this and loving them hard before it’s too late
HE WAS A FUNCTIONAL ADDICT, NEVER GOT LOST IN THOUGHTS, SO SAD HE HAD TO LEAVE US THAT SOON. MAY GOD ACCEPT YOU IN HIS ARMS DMX FOR YOU WERE A GOOD SOLDIER OF HIM.. BE AT PEACE KNOWING THAT YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN, GOODBYE.. REST WELL SWEETHEART
Damn. Damn. Damn. This interview made me realize how hard I have been on some of my family members friends and coworkers who are struggling with addiction😫😫😫😫🥺 I promise to apologize to all of them individually each before they meet glory🤧
Wooaahh.. thats really cool to read! Respect to you... yeah take it easy on those trying not to suffer. But dont let them take too many chunks off your own life. Find a balance
His impression of Iyanla is she was talking loudly with an attitude and pointing her finger at him...**watches the actual video** Iyana is calmly asking questions, trying to help.
Minka 123 yup!!! What's amazing is that it's his reactions that people remember and place the negativity on her. He's smart and he did that for the cameras. It's a survival technique for addicts.
Kenya Simena survival tecnique or not they shouldnt have set him up that way on television dmx has alot of demons and people think hes an addict they already what he is and what he thinks. you dont. leave dmx alone he deserved none of that. he needed to talk to his son one on one. and not for him.
For someone that was supposed to be the mediator between two people I really think she approached the situation with some distain in her heart DMX believing too much of medias painted picture of my brother. She never got to the root of the issue,she just went in trying to tell what she thought was right, and even when she saw the situation about to get out of hand instead of finding a way to defuse it or just leaving it alone she got in her feelings and poured gasoline on an already lit fuse..
She is a coach not a counselor his issues are out of Iylana league she all about ratings she ambushed DMX to push his buttons. A coach deals with well people not traumas wounds and deep emotional scars. Her experience comes from her own tore up life she cant judge anyone. She does manipulate people for OWN
NASHEED JONES Ppl need constructive criticism every now and then. You can’t act like you have it all figured out because people can see through that wall.
@@kingofloveandwar93 He doesn't act like he has it all figured , he knows what she wants to be , he doesn't want to change , his at peace with the person he is , he tried changing it never worked . If u love someone u Shud except him for what he is , of his at peace with it who are u to try and change it .
I doubt that no body is perfect...you really don't know that...he may have shared and told embarrassing details of his life but it doesn't mean he was honest about everything because he definitely had his share of faults like everyone else...he was honest about certain things...for example he couldn't have been honest with the women in his life with children overlapping the relationships he was in...no disrespect intended but he isn't perfectly honest...he is human and capable of lying obviously.
@sunflowerpwr.8821 His Son even said in the interview that he wasn't a liar. Just because someone has faults doesn't mean they are liars. Women sleep with honest, cheating men all the time. Not being able to be a husband has absolutely nothing to do with parenting or lying.
jdtorres510 no his addiction was made that someone was trying to make him take responsibility for his actions. There's a difference. He acted the way that every addict does when confronted with the hurt they have caused along the tornado that is their addiction.
But guys how do we measure intelligence? I'm right in Africa so called 3rd world, and all I pick up is a druggie, yes the man is a legend but he lost his sanity and it's really SAD!!!
@@omphemetsechake2839 He didn't lose his sanity at all. He's remembering how insulted he was and how he realized the manipulation. And though he may have had a problem with drugs it gave no one the right to judge his parenting especially when they themselves has problems parenting their own children. She did not have the authority or familiarity with Dmx or his son to interfere in their relationship and especially after Dmx made it clear that she was not welcomed or invited to. Once she saw that she should have stopped but she didn't. That's why he said what he felt at the end. She should have stayed in her place and he was absolutely right. I don't care what she thought she was doing, it failed.
Wow dmx became a lunatic.i loved his music and always respected him as an artist. But when He went disrespectfull against iyanla, while she has her good intentions for helping them out as a family. He lost my respect. But then again an addict is a disease he cant control his mind. Hope his mind gets rest and get clean.
She should've shut the fuck like he politely ask the first few times and like the men talk. She made that situation worst. Xavier looks like he was fully capable of expressing himself without telling him what to say.
Setup or not, this idiot is wrong. His son does have the right to demand sobriety of his father. And no way was he clean and sober when he did this interview.
According to Iyanla, he was high on drugs, calling her all kinds of b****es and h**es off camera and didn't show up on the first day of filming. He was a troubled man and I'm sad that he's gone, but he's not suffering any more. Addiction to drugs is a disease. I'm glad that his son still had a conversation with him. I hope he is getting all the love and support he needs, especially now that his dad is gone. One thing you can't deny is that DMX really loved his son.
DMX is messed up in the head because of playing the perpetuate victim's role. It's EVERY BODY's fault but his according to him. He is doing what comes natural and focusing on Iyanla instead of himself. The sad thing about this is the fact he will continue to create more victims like himself wherever he goes. Like snails, folk like him leave a trail. I am not impressed with his antics. The only thing he managed to do is tell his son that he did not see what he saw and did not hear what he heard. Children's' minds are like CD and DVD, they record everything. This is why it is easier for a child to learn a second language in a few weeks, and it takes us years. My background is in counseling. No counselor would agree with everything Iyanla says or does, but she is far better than Dr. Phil. She gets down to the meat of where it is at. The woman probably learn how to read people from her upbringing. She is really good!
@True Aries do you how he ended up on it??? A FRIEND he TRUSTED laced his weed....so he has a huge issue with trusting people....Do you know how many people lifes get ruin from people they trust putting something in their drinks, food, etc...envy is dangerous
You are so right!!! I'm noticing a pattern by him when he's talking. He takes no responsibility, lives in denial, impulsivity and lack of emotional discipline had him in and out of jail. he's 49yrs old and just died at 50 and went out crying and still blaming the guy who laced his blunt with crack for why he's still on drugs. I hope he's finally at peace now.
he feels betrayed, broken. he actually needs true people that believe IN him and not stories About him. Everyone has struggles and he's fighting through his. I give X props for even attempting to do whats right. It's hard for a man to Man up and I got love for X no matter WHAT!!
Yeah hes high af, damn man he was my idol when I was growing up. Now look at him, he needs to take control of his life and not let a substance control his life. He still had a chance at a normal life but he just needs to want to change.
Its so sad to see him deflecting all responsibility. It's even sadder to see him confused and barely using his words. The worst is he thinks people believe his version of a story and the way he would slander Iyanla's name. I wish him mercy, grace, and peace.
This was him on drugs. You know he had issues, people with problems always deflect and push accountibility away from them. I seen the video, X was rude and disrespectful, but he knew what he was feeling. Iyanla tried to tell him how he should been feeling.
@@MichelleS234 His son told him he wanted him to get clean and he told him he'd see him at his funeral. I've worked in Substance abuse recovery. He seemed high during the Fix my Life show. There's nothing that you can say to reason with a person high and not wanting to change. She can be overbearing but behind the scenes. I still believe she was the one who showed him patience and grace. Addict behavior knows no boundaries.
I get what he's saying to a point, but he's outta control. His son should have told him differently what he was trying to say. Can't tell someone to just get clean. DMX has to be handled like a broken child who will lash out anytime he cannot handle something.
That's the pain and anger talking, which is something he needs to work through...for himself. He's not ready to change. It's part of addiction that everything is everyone else's fault.
Nicole Lawson it’s tragic!! DMX mental development is of a 13/14 teenage boy. As this is the age he started abusing drugs !! Sadly this the stage he’s stuck at. He never learn’t to control his emotions as that is part of growing up into a healthy young adult. Also he didn’t have a father so he didn’t have any real support !! DMX is also bipolar.
Wow! My heart really goes out to him. Them drugs ain't no joke!!! I mean I almost can't understand what he is even saying. He's so much better then that. One thing I have learned is that when you try to help addicts and they're not ready to let their bad habits go, they actually see you as a threat. They have to want it. He clearly don't want it yet.
He publicly said he doesn't want to stop smoke, sniff and drink, why bother to lie about doing it???? Then defend your disrespectful actions and word hurt another Human Being that's helping your own seed heal from the hurt you inflicted!!! DMX you are conflicted much.
I don't care for her abruptness but, I think she read him and he didn't like it. His struggle is no longer, you are with peace now and you will ALWAYS be remembered D
She didn't read him at all. And what she did was very dangerous. He was a case that was way beyond her abilities and expertise. She was ignoring his warning signs that she was encroaching on dangerous territory but she mistakenly assumed that all she needed to do was press him more. You heard what he said at the end of this interview. When they get like that you have failed your goal and should have aborted the mission. She got the exact same reaction from the young lady Kamiyah who was kidnapped at birth. She had to change her whole entire approach after that incident. Dmx had the maturity and control not to put his hands on her but that young buck girl was finna break her off something. She knew it.
@@bossteamentertainment6836She thinks it’s her way or the highway. Doubt she was even around addicts like X. She was VERY ill prepared and then to bring Xavier on there?! Yeah bad timing!
Show how much of a real man you are , by getting clean and sober. You will be amazed how different this child would be. The prayer he needs is within him. He has to tape the source and know the strength that dwells within.
@@BossDini I understood everything too. He made perfect sense to me. All u have to do is listen, and listen without trying to call him a hot headed dope fiend
+Charles Washington DMX has leaped milestones passed his less than fruitful past life and habits...People like you have no idea how much progress he's made. This is exactly what X is trying to say here in this video.
I hear what he's saying...Iyanla needed to work with DMX *in private.* That was very delicate situation, and she needed to forsake "getting good ratings" over the real issues that plagued him and his family. You could see she was loosing her cool, as he was very stubborn, rude, and full of pride (not the good kind) but she is suppose to be the therapist and she lost it...she let her ego dictate the words that came out of her mouth about him "never being able to speak to her ever again", that was a bit much, and that was *her* pride showing itself and (not the good kind)...
lorettalynn Davis RATINGS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM GETTING THE HELP THAT HE NEEDS!! Drugs & alcohol have taken over his life, obviously you judge Iyanla but have you seen her video of him stating he wasn't drinking or doing drugs but then admitted he did both before entering his son & ex-wife gathering? 🤷🏽♂️
lorettalynn Davis If he wanted "private" then don't agree to do a televised show. Very simple. However, there did seem to be a basic question in my mind about what the focus/topic their interaction was agreed to be. It seemed like X did not share the same understanding about what they were all there for and, especially, Iyanla's role.
There's no way it was 8 years ago that he was on Iyanla... Couldn't have been that long ago. If it was time goes by like a quick breeze and that's crazy.
