Demi Lovato says that she can’t help but feel a little survivor’s guilt after hearing about DMX’s own recent overdose, after she nearly died of her own back in 2018.
Reports say that the 50-year-old rapper has been on life support and is in a vegetative state since last week after he overdosed on drugs and suffered a heart attack. Here’s what you need to know.
“Any time I see someone OD or pass away that’s in the public eye I immediately think, ‘That could have been you had you not been putting all this work into the last couple of years of your life,’” Demi said in an interview with TMZ Live.
Demi Lovato Has Survivor’s Guilt After DMX’ Overdose
“There’s times I’ve felt, like, feeling survivor’s guilt. You do ask yourself, ‘Why am I still here, why are others not?’ It’s challenging. I have to realize that every day is a day that someone else doesn’t get.”
“It makes me want to live the best life I can possibly have knowing others didn’t get the chance,” she says.
Meanwhile, hundreds of people have turned up this week to hold a prayer vigil for DMX. Some of his 15 kids were among the visitors who came to say their final ‘good-bye’ to him.
“We ask that you please keep Earl/DMX and us in your thoughts, wishes, and prayers as well as respect our privacy as we face these challenges,” the family said in a statement to People.
Just last month, Demi said that she has to “die in order to wake up.” In her docuseries, Demi Lovato: Dancing With the Devil, Demi said that one the night of her near-fatal overdose back in 2018, she was given heroin laced with fentanyl and the dealer “ended up getting her really high and leaving her for dead.” If that weren’t enough, she was also sexually assaulted.
“I didn’t just overdose. I was taken advantage of,” Demi says in the docuseries. “When they found me, I was naked, blue. I was literally left for dead after he took advantage of me.”
