DMX Revisits Story About His Mentor Tricking Him to Smoke Crack as a Teen

DMX has had a long public battle with drug addiction, and the rapper says it dates back to his teenage years.

“I was in Yonkers. This guy, ‘Ready Ron,’ he was like an older brother to me,” DMX told Talib Kweli on his People’s Party podcast.

“He would rap, and I would do the beatbox,” DMX said. “I loved this guy like an older brother.”

The pair did a robbery on his birthday and Ron returned with a celebratory blunt after the job. The veteran rapper emotionally continued, “I hit the blunt and … I was no longer focused on the money. I’ve never felt like this, it just f–ked me up. I later found out that he laced the blunt with crack. Why would you do that to a child? He knew I looked up to him. Why would you do that to somebody who looks up to you? A monster was born. I wouldn’t do that to my worst enemy. Especially to someone that you supposedly love.”

X learned quickly, “The person that I loved was a snake.”

Kanye’s Team Puts Rumors To Rest With A Simple Explanation

H

In the surprising world of Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, even simple paperwork can cause a stir online. The latest buzz is that Ye has changed his name to “Ye Ye.” However, before fans start updating their playlists or thinking about new tattoos, Ye’s team is ready to set the record straight, and it’s not as dramatic as it seems. Recently, some business documents from California popped up showing “Ye Ye” listed as the manager for a few of Ye’s businesses, including Yeezy Apparel and Yeezy Record Label, LLC.

Naturally, the internet began to speculate. Could this be a new era for him? A hint about an upcoming album? Or just classic Ye being himself? As it turns out, it’s none of those things. A spokesperson for Ye explained that the confusion came from a routine online form that struggled with someone who only has one name. Since Ye dropped the name “Kanye West” back in 2018 for personal and creative reasons, he’s been officially recognized as just “Ye.”

But when the form required both a first and last name, his team entered “Ye” in both spots. This led to the funny outcome of “Ye Ye.” “There hasn’t been any name change,” the spokesperson told The New York Post, putting to rest any theories about a major rebranding. “It’s just a quirky issue with the form.” While this mix-up created some confusion, it also fits the pattern of an artist who has always done things his own way, whether in music, fashion, or even on official documents.

Honestly, “Ye Ye” does have a catchy sound to it, but don’t expect him to start using it anytime soon. Since he introduced himself simply as “Ye” on Twitter in 2018, stating, “The being formally known as Kanye West. I am YE,” that one-name brand has become his identity across all platforms. The latest filing, while amusing, is just another moment in a career filled with reinvention, mystery, and the occasional silly error.
