DMX can give the Duggar family money.
The rapper, born in Yonkers, who remains in a “vegetative state” in the ICU after an overdose of drugs, is now surrounded by many of his children – some of whom were spotted on a mass vigil outside the hospital – such as they say their “final goodbye” to their father, but with COVID-19 restrictions in White Plains Medical Center, only one child can see their sick father at a time, reports Daily Mail.
That means it can take up to 15 visits before he visits all of his children.
The rapper “Ruff Ryders’ Anthem”, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was not only prolific in the rap game but also in the progeny game – he considered 15 children to be the “flesh of his flesh”.
The 50-year-old told GQ he even has a Bible verse about being a propagator 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 for his youngest child 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 the fans call him, confirmed to ‘The Breakfast Club’ that he has 15 children with a total of nine different women. At the time, he was unsure if all his descendants had ever met.
‘Some of them met others. I’m not a total piece s – t, ”he told the radio program. “I do not have children in the same country. Yes, I slipped up. I have a few in New York; I have a few in Cali. ‘
Asked how he ‘chooses’ with whom he wants to’ breed ‘, DMX, who claims to be a deacon, said:’ I’m just like a dog. I sniff the hole, I wag my tail. ”
According to the Associated Press, he filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2013, citing about $ 1.3 million in child support to ten children he fathered.
X has been out and about in court over the years when he struggled with overseeing his large brood. Most of his herd flew under the radar despite the famous, racial voice “Where the Hood At?” rapper and actor in films like “Romeo Must Die” from 2000 as their patriarch.
The Post contacted DMX’s representatives for comment.
Exodus Simmons, 5
DMX and the now engaged Lindstrom share Exodus, who was born in 2016.
“This is a new beginning,” he told GQ, referring to his son after the Bible verse. Exodus speaks from the beginning. He was a new beginning. ‘
Lindstrom’s social media accounts are full of happy family photos, including one featuring DMX and his now 5-year-old son in Santa hats.
Aaliyah, about 10
DMX also has a daughter named after late singer Aaliyah Haughton, who died in 2001, whom he unveiled in 2011 on BET’s “106 & Park” while honoring the 10th anniversary of Haughton’s death. DMX and Haughton co-starred with Jet Li in the 2000 “Romeo Must Die”.
“This is my own personal, special tribute to Aaliyah,” he said as he brought his baby daughter on camera.
“It’s Aaliyah,” said the proud father as he rocked the baby. “This is my newest baby and I named her after Aaliyah because that was how special she was to me.”
“Know that you are named after 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 raised his daughter Aaliyah for the crowd to see.
Xavier Simmons, 28
Before Lindstrom, DMX was married to Tashera Simmons from 1999 to 2014 and they had four children together. One of them is 28-year-old Xavier, who starred in movies and wrote a book.
Tacoma Simmons, 21
Tacoma, Tashera and DMX, are 21 years old and call themselves a ‘musical composer’ on his Instagram, which is private. In 2019, his proud mother shared a photo that sent him to university.
Sean Simmons, 18
Sean Simmons does not have a public social media account, but Tashera Simmons shared photos of her 18-year-old son on her Instagram page.
Loof Mary Ella Simmons, 15
The daughter of Tashera Simmons and the rapper, Praise Mary Ella Simmons, is about to turn 16, according to IMDB which celebrates its birthday on April 18, 2005. Her mother shared photos of her for her 2019 birthday on Instagram.
Other children
DMX and Tashera Simmons appeared in the first season of VH1’s “Couples Therapy” in 2012 before their split, where they revealed that he had extramarital affairs and children out of wedlock. In that year, she confirmed to Essence that he had fathered six children outside of their marriage, but did not elaborate further.
The ‘Slippin’ ‘rapper brought the father of a child to 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 libel, false statements and “unreasonable publicity” about her.
“As for me, I’m a single parent,” Wayne said at the time.
He also reportedly has two children with ex Yadira Borrego, who recently shared photos of some young people with DMX on stage. ‘Minor setback for a major is coming back! God got you, your family got you, the kids got you, I got you !! The world has got you !! Let’s go, ”she wrote on Sunday, along with photos corresponding to press images taken during a 2019 concert in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She also shared a photo that night of the show and wrote, “Great show My babies love their dad so much.”
Borrego was seen in the crowd on the night watch with his fiancée and ex-wife and shared photos of the night watch in her Instagram stories. She also shared a photo of her children and others of X’s other children with the caption ‘Siblings’.
It even seems that the boy from DMX is following in his footsteps as a rapper. Borrego shared a video of the youngster declaring his name Lil ‘Smoke on her YouTube page. In another video, she reveals that the boy is 9 years old after he said his father met her “because of her appearance.”
According to Rolling Out, he apparently also had a child with another woman in 2008. In January, DMX posted about his ‘daughter’ and her new song, and linked to Instagram handle @sonovah_junior. The report includes photos of the rapper with a young girl, with the caption: “I love your dad.” An Instagram account that appears to be the mother’s page of the young girl shows the same photo along with a video behind the scenes during a DMX show.
