We lost a legend of Friday. DMX‘s passing has left the world of hip-hop in mourning and many began to flood the timeline with condolences, prayers and thoughts for the late rapper and his family.

Mark Curry took to Instagram yesterday where he revealed that Black Rob was discharged from the hospital. He showed his appreciation for everyone who has been showing support for the legend. “It’s overwhelming to how many people care about our legends but he just got discharged from the hospital.
