DMX Settles $1 Million Child Support Case

    DMX’s legal laundry list is as long as any rapper in history, and one of the issues he’s been struggling with for years is paying child support. X may now have some relief in the matter.

    According to TMZ, the former Ruff Ryders artist has settled his child support case with Patricia Trejo, a woman who claimed he fathered her daughter over a decade ago. Trejo had previously demanded $1 million in back child support payments however representatives for DMX say the dispute has been settled but declined to provide further details. 

    DMX is currently the father of 11 children via multiple women. He talked about fathering his kids on the Dr. Phil Show back in September.

    “Yes I am,” DMX said when asked if he was millions of dollars behind in child support payments. “And reason being because at the time I was making $13 million a year so if I’m making $13 million a year then I can pay that and I haven’t made that in about 10 years so of course I’m behind in payments but the children are taken care of.”

    X also talked about being a father to over 10 children and says that he’s very much a part of their lives.

    “They’re well taking care of and I’m a big influence in their lives. I love all of my children and I do see them and speak to them when I can. I do have a relationship with my children. I love my children… I think if you can provide, somewhat, monetarily for your kids and be there for them then you should have them.”

    1. They left out the part about him having to pay this in order to get his passport back… which was actually preventing him from going overseas and earning money to pay back child support!

      1. Yep, groupies be opening they snatch to any rich dude just to get those millions while their children only eat McDonald’s on 29 cent Tuesday

    2. kanye west why u dnt like when luda says’ so say good by to groupies n gold diggers. with your song gold digger song

    3. eminem making fun of his self none stop at sometimes saying hes wack hel wack ya kill ya. wild n out show wack saying thell wack ya.

    4. He still owed a million, retard. Just cause the judge took pity on his broke ass doesn’t mean he’s off the hook for his other kids.

      1. he was never trying to get off the hook for his other kids.

        he was trying to leave the country and to tour and generate income for his family and crack addiction but they took his passport for not paying child support!

    5. WORST FATHER OF THE CENTURY AWARD! you can see the pain in his childrens eyes when they talk about him. they try not to bash him publicly but i’d be willing to bet my last that if ALL of his children were honest all of them would say he’s been absent in their lives physically, emotionally, and financially.but half of black men have no idea what it means to be a good father bc they never had one. this is the black community’s problem. lack of fathers & tired (sometimes trifling) mothers. this cycle has been started. i wonder if it can be stopped

      1. “WORST FATHER OF THE CENTURY AWARD!”

        not even close man.

        did you hear about that guy in NY who tossed his infant son off the top of a building before taking his own life?

    6. heard death metal music playing lil while ago seen a lil girl with her moms head on doing the son of a bitch

    7. X has 11 kids with 6 different women and has another child on the way. Is this nigga aware of a little invention called a condom?

    8. “he was never trying to get off the hook for his other kids”

      But that’s the thing. A million dollars doesn’t just accumulate on its own. I meant to do this, or I’m about to do that. All bullshit. X has been in denial for years.
