“I feel like there’s times where I’ve even talked about feeling survivor’s guilt because you do ask yourself, well, why am I still here? And why are others not? It’s a challenging thing to get over but, ultimately, I had to realize that every day is a day that someone else doesn’t get.”

She continued, “Every day that I’m here on this earth is a day that I need to be counting my blessings and just being appreciative and grateful. Also, it makes me want to live the best life I can possibly live knowing that others didn’t get the same chance that I did.”

DMX is reportedly undergoing a series of tests to test his brain functions today and there are also reports that the rapper has tested positive for COVID-19.
