DMX could give the Duggar family a run for their money.
The Yonkers-born rapper, 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 on a mass vigil outside the hospital – as they say their “end” goodbye ”to their father. But with COVID-19 restrictions in place at White Plains Medical Center, only one child can see the sick parent at a time, reports the Daily Mail.
This means that it can take up to 15 visits for him to see all of his children.
Rapper “Ruff Ryders’ Anthem”, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was not only prolific in the rap game, but also in the offspring game – with 15 children as the “flesh of his flesh”.
The 50-year-old man told GQ that he even has a Bible verse about being a breeder tattooed on his neck. “Exodus 1: 7,” he said in 2019. “It says, ‘Be fruitful and multiply and your children will inherit the world.’”
This verse also inspired the name of his youngest son with his longtime partner, Desiree Lindstrom. Their son, Exodus, was born in 2016, but details about his other children are somewhat scarce. That same year, “X”, as fans call him, confirmed to “The Breakfast Club” that he has 15 children with nine different women in total. At the time, he was not sure if all of his children had already met.
“Some of them found others. I’m not a total piece of shit, ”he told the radio show. “I don’t have children in the same county. Yes, I slipped. I have some in New York; I have some in Cali. “
When asked how he “chooses” who he wants to “mate with”, DMX, who claims to be a deacon, said: “I am like a dog. I smell the ass, I wag my tail. “
In 2013, he filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, according to the Associated Press, citing about $ 1.3 million in child support due to 10 children he had.
X has been in and out of court over the years while fighting for custody of his large litter. Most of his flock went unnoticed, despite telling the famous and squeaky “Where the Hood At?” rapper and actor in films like “Romeo Must Die” from 2000 as his patriarch.
The Post contacted DMX representatives for comment.
Exodus Simmons, 5
DMX and now engaged Lindstrom share Exodus, which was born in 2016.
“It’s a new beginning,” he told GQ about the name of the Bible verse for his son. “The Exodus speaks of beginnings. It was a new beginning. “
Lindstrom’s social media accounts are full of happy family photos, including one with DMX and her now 5-year-old son wearing Santa hats.
Aaliyah, about 10
DMX also has a daughter by the name of the late singer Aaliyah Haughton, who died in 2001, a fact he revealed in 2011 on BET’s “106 & Park” program in honor of the 10th anniversary of Haughton’s death. DMX and Haughton were co-stars in 2000’s “Romeo Must Die” alongside Jet Li.
“This is my special personal tribute to Aaliyah,” he said, as he brought his young daughter to the camera.
“This is Aaliyah,” says the proud father as he packs the baby. “It’s my youngest baby and I called her Aaliyah because she was special to me.”
“Know that you have the name of an angel,” he says to the child, whose mother is unknown.
He was a proud father on stage in 2012 during a show when he brought his daughter Aaliyah to the crowd to see.
Xavier Simmons, 28 years
Before Lindstrom, DMX was married to Tashera Simmons from 1999 to 2014 and had four children together. One of them is Xavier, 28, who starred in films and wrote a book.
Tacoma Simmons, 21
Tashera and DMX’s son, Tacoma, is 21 and lists himself as a “music composer” on his private Instagram. In 2019, his proud mother shared a photo sending him to college.
Sean Simmons, 18
Sean Simmons does not have a public social media account, but Tashera Simmons shared photos of his 18-year-old son on his Instagram page.
Praise be to Mary Ella Simmons, 15
The daughter of Tashera Simmons and the rapper, Praise Mary Ella Simmons, is about to turn 16, according to IMDB, whose birthday is listed as April 18, 2005. Her mother shared photos of her on her 2019 birthday on Instagram.
Other children
DMX and Tashera Simmons appeared on VH1’s “Couples Therapy” season 1 in 2012 before their separation, where they revealed that he had extramarital affairs and children outside of marriage. That year, she confirmed to Essence that he had six children out of wedlock, but gave no further details.
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 he was accused of defamation, false statements and “irrational publicity” about her.
“I’m a single mom, as far as I’m concerned,” said Wayne at the time.
He also has two children with ex Yadira Borrego, who recently shared photos of two young people with DMX on stage. “Least retreat for a Major to return! God got you, Your family got you, The kids got you, I got you !! The world caught you !! Come on, ”she wrote on Sunday, along with photos that correspond to press footage taken during a 2019 show in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She also shared a photo the night of the show, writing: “Great show, my babies love Daddy a lot”.
Borrego was seen on Monday night’s vigil in the crowd with his fiancee and ex-wife and shared the photos of the vigil in his Instagram stories. She also shared a photo of her children and some of X’s other children with the caption “Brothers”.
It seems that DMX’s son is following in his footsteps as a rapper. Borrego shared a rap video of the young man, in which he declares his name Lil ‘Smoke, on his YouTube page. In another video, she revealed that the boy is 9 years old after saying that his father met her “because of his appearance”.
He would also have had a child with another woman in 2008, according to Rolling Out. In January, DMX posted about his “daughter” and his new song, and posted a link to Instagram @sonovah_junior. This account posted photos of the rapper with a young woman, with the caption: “I love you daddy”. An Instagram account that appears to be the young woman’s mother’s page shows the same photo along with a behind-the-scenes video during a DMX show.
