DMX was reportedly rushed to a South Florida hospital over the weekend due to a stroke scare.

TMZ reported earlier this morning that DMX was admitted at a hospital in Aventura, Florida on Monday (September 22) because of “fear of a stroke.”

Charles Kozelka, DMX's lawyer, confirmed to MTV today (September 23) that the Yonkers bred rapper is hospitalized but could not give a reason why.

“I don't know the cause, but I know that he's still hospitalized and that they've admitted him and won't be releasing him for a couple more days,” Kozelka said.

DMX, who was extradited from Florida to Arizona earlier this month, was slated to appear in Arizona court today (September 23) to face his multiple court cases which include drug and animal cruelty charges.  He is now scheduled to appear in court on September 29th.
