Dmx called it betrayal because he expected support, not sabotage. After speaking up, the industry and media labeled him crazy, unstable, a junkie, dangerous, washed up, and difficult to work with just to discredit him and justify blackballing him after he spoke out against industry exploitation. They focused on his legal issues and addiction, overshadowing his artistry and causing major radio and label support to vanish. People in the industry distanced themselves, calling him unreliable while they continued to profit from his legacy, effectively blackballing him despite his massive influence and fan base. In reality, DMX was one of the few artists who outsold Jay-Z at his peak and openly challenged the industry's hypocrisy, but the narrative was shifted to paint him as a liability to silence his criticism about exploitation.
