Black Rob is Out of The Hospital After Alarming DMX Tribute Video
Fans grew concerned over the rapper’s health when a video of his DMX salute began circulating on social media.
After causing a scare with a bedridden video that went viral yesterday, Black Rob has reportedly left the hospital.
In a video posted today, fellow Bad Boys Records alum, Mark Curry, assured fans that BR had been released, but held off on sharing any details regarding his condition or the cause of his hospitalization. “Black Rob just got discharged from the hospital,” Curry said in an Instagram video on Sunday. “The way the world tends to it and cares, it’s overwhelming to see how many people care about our legends,” Curry added before noting “this is something that Rob’s been going through.”
Curry’s updated was welcomed by fans growing concerned over the rapper’s health after a video of his DMX salute began to circulate on social media Saturday morning. In the brief clip shared by DJ Self, a visibly frail Rob struggled through his words. “The pain is crazy man. It’s helping me out though. It’s making me realize I got a lot to go on man,” the rapper can be heard saying. “I feel everything about X man. He was positive. Big love to X man,” Rob adds about the recent death of DMX before the video cuts out.
This morning Rob himself shared a video, offering some context for the hospital stay, but also revealing that he is currently without housing. “I’ve been dealing with this, man, for five years. Four strokes, I don’t know what to tell you, man. This shit is crazy, this shit is hard,” the rapper said.
A GoFundMe campaign was launched by Mike Zombie to “help him find a home, pay for medical help & stability during these trying times.” You can make a donation here.

Now Black Rob . Whew man prayers up. When I turned 45 16 years ago I tried to make the music industry be accountable for across the board insurance. The big money makers many supported were popping club bottles. I told biz that the lifestyle is gonna collide with the need for INS https://t.co/Q7385Ij1B0

Saw that video of Black Rob in the hospital, and this tweet pissed me off all over again. The audacity of this leech to be talking about love, while the artists that kept him fed and comfortable fall off, rot in prison, and die https://t.co/xIAIHM8M4q

The Black Rob hospital video is distressing, but I believe it’s important to normalize seeing sick people out in the open. Sick people are people. The human experience is fragile. We should not disappear our ill brethren because we find discomfort in our own mortality.
