Stars Missy Elliot and Viola Davis reacted to the news on social media shortly after reports surfaced. "Prayers for DMX and his family," Elliot wrote. Davis also tweeted that she was "praying for DMX."

At the time, the rapper claimed the rehab stint was not a result of a relapse and instead was a preventative measure.
