DMX could give a run to the Duggar family for their money.
Origin rapper Yonkers, who remains in the ICU in a “vegetative state” after a drug overdose, is now surrounded by many of his children, some of whom were seen at a mass vigil outside the hospital, they say its “end.” goodbye ”to his father. But with COVID-19 restrictions at White Plains Medical Center, only one child can see their sick father at a time, the Daily Mail reports.
This means it can take up to 15 visits to see all of your children.
Rapper “Ruff Ryders’ Anthem,” whose real name is Earl Simmons, has not only been prolific in the rap game, but also in the offspring game, counting 15 children as the “meat of his flesh.”
The 50-year-old told GQ that he even has a Bible verse about being a procreator tattooed on his neck. “Exodus 1: 7,” he said in 2019. “It says, ‘Be fruitful and multiply, and your children will inherit the world.'”
That verse also inspired the name of his youngest son with his longtime partner, Desiree Lindstrom. His son Exodus was born in 2016, but details about his other children are a bit sparse. That same year, “X,” as fans call her, confirmed to “The Breakfast Club” that she had 15 children with nine different women in total. At that time, he was not sure if all his descendants had ever met.
“Some of them have met others. I’m not a total piece of st, “he told the radio show.” I don’t have children in the same county. Yes, I slipped. I have a few in New York; I have a few in Cali. “
When asked how he “chooses” who he wants to “raise” with, DMX, who claims to be a deacon, said, “I’m like a dog. I smell my ass, I mute my tail.”
In 2013, he filed for bankruptcy in Chapter 11, according to the Associated Press, citing about $ 1.3 million in alimony for ten children he was a father to.
X has been in and out of court over the years as he fought for custody of his large brood. Most of his herd has flown under the radar despite having the famous and creepy “Where’s the Hood?” rapper and actor in films like “Romeo Must Die” from 2000 as a patriarch.
The Post has contacted DMX representatives to comment.
Exodus Simmons, 5
DMX and now promise Lindstrom share Exodus, which was born in 2016.
“These are new beginnings,” he told GQ of putting his son in the Bible verse. “The Exodus speaks of the beginnings. It was a new beginning. “
Lindstrom’s social media accounts are full of happy family photos, including one with DMX and her five-year-old son in Santa hats.
Aaliyah, around 10
DMX also has a daughter named after the late singer Aaliyah Haughton, who died in 2001, which she revealed in 2011 on BET’s “106 & Park” program while honoring the 10th anniversary of Haughton’s death. DMX and Haughton co-starred in the 2000 “Romeo Must Die” alongside Jet Li.
“This is my own personal and special tribute to Aaliyah,” he said as he carried his infant daughter to the camera.
“This is Aaliyah,” says the proud father as he cradles the baby. “She’s my newest baby and I christened her Aaliyah because she was so special to me.”
“You know you’re named after an angel,” he tells the boy, who doesn’t know the mother.
He was a proud father on stage in 2012 during a show when he brought his daughter Aaliyah in front of the crowd.
Xavier Simmons, 28 years old
Prior to Lindstrom, DMX married Tashera Simmons from 1999 to 2014 and they had four children together. One is 28-year-old Xavier, who has starred in films and written a book.
Tacoma Simmons, 21 years old
Tacoma, son of Tashera and DMX, is 21 years old and is listed as a “music composer” on his Instagram, which is private. In 2019, his proud mother shared a photo sending him to college.
Sean Simmons, 18 years old
Sean Simmons has no public social media account, but Tashera Simmons has shared photos of her 18-year-old son on her Instagram page.
Praise Mary Ella Simmons, 15
Tashera Simmons’ daughter and rapper Praise Mary Ella Simmons is about to turn 16, according to IMDB, whose birthday is listed on April 18, 2005. Her mother shared photos of her on his birthday in 2019 on Instagram.
Other children
DMX and Tashera Simmons appeared in the first season of VH1’s “Couple Therapy” in 2012 before their separation, where they revealed that she had extramarital affairs and children out of wedlock. That year, he confirmed to Essence that he had fathered six children out of wedlock, but did not go deeper.
Rapper “Slippin” had a son with Monique Wayne in 2004 after a DNA test proved he was the father. In 2008, DMX was ordered to pay Wayne $ 1.5 million in damages after being accused of defamation, false statements and “irrational publicity” about her.
“I’m a single parent, as far as I’m concerned,” Wayne said at the time.
He also reportedly has two children with former Yadira Borrego, who recently shared photos of a young couple with DMX on stage. “Minors are back for a Major! God has got you, your family has got you, the kids have got you, I have !! The world got you !! Let’s go, ”he wrote Sunday along with photos that match press images taken during a 2019 concert in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He also shared a photo the night of the show, writing, “Great show My babies love their dad so much.”
Borrego was spotted at Monday night’s vigil among the crowd with his fiancée and ex-wife and shared photos of the vigil on his Instagram stories. He also shared a photo of his children and some of X’s other children with the text “Brothers.”
It even looks like DMX’s son is following in his footsteps as a rapper. Borrego shared a video of his youth rap on his YouTube page, in which he declares his name Lil ‘Smoke. In another video, she revealed that the boy was 9 years old after he said his father met her “because of her appearance.”
According to Rolling Out, he allegedly also had a son with another woman in 2008. In January, DMX posted about his “daughter” and his new song, and related to Instagram manager @sonovah_junior. That account posted photos of the rapper with a young girl, with the caption: “I love you dad.” An Instagram account that appears to be the young woman’s home page shows the same photo along with a behind-the-scenes video during a DMX show.
