The tragic passing of DMX this past April has led to a newfound interest in the late Ruff Ryder’s music, with his streams spiking close to 1000 percent once his death was confirmed.
It also has sparked a new vigor in Sonovah Hillman Jr., one of the Hip Hop legend’s 15 children.
In a new interview with NBC DFW, the 8-year-old starlet confidently explained how her father’s talent courses through her own veins.
“Whatever is on my mind, I just write about it,” Sonovah Hillman Jr. said. “Rapping makes me feel powerful. Someday I want to own a mansion with 15 bedrooms.”
DMX’s Daughter Commemorates Her Father With Heartfelt Post: ‘My Twin, I Love You’
According to the news outlet, producers have asked DMX’s daughter to posthumously collaborate with her dad on two songs. It’s not yet known if the project is different than the completed album that will be released via Def Jam and Ruff Ryders’ respective imprints.
Hillman Jr.’s mother, Sonovah Hillman, also says DMX’s spirit is alive and well within their daughter’s artistry.
“Sometimes she looks just like him depending on the angle you catch her,” the Oakland resident admitted. “She has a lot of his traits as far as an artist. Writing is easy for her.”
When asked about her favorite DMX song, she pinpointed the energetic “Party Up (Up in Here)” while revealing her career path would indeed make her dad proud in case you were wondering.
“He was happy when I told him I wanted to rap,” she said, recalling a February 2021 hangout in Miami where they got to spend quality time.

She’s 8
They threw away your macaroni picture, huh?
How about we promote healthcare, entrepreneurship, getting through school and making a difference in the community? No, we have to groom our kids to be entertainers, tap dancers, and sports stars. Jesus christ smh
don’t talk to me about getting through school and making a difference in the community.
Facts.
Time to capitalize…..idc I said it…lastly that older chick saying B.I.G was cringe
Thank you single mothers for putting your little girls in short dresses and makeup. Im having loads of fun here!
Cute kid. Now let’s take her back to the classroom. Noone needs this.
It’s cool she’s being creative. But she’s gotta move careful, heal from this recent loss and heal well. Even get therapy if needed. Why? It can be traumatic losing a parent so young. And this is social media world. She looks like she has that it factor and can be great. I wish her the best. I just hope she heals as much as possible from this and does well long term. Bless.
Secondly I never knew DMX has 15 kids. To be an addict and have 15 kids is a trip. Who knows. If he was there for all of them, cool. You need like 20 million to do that. My bad if I’m coming off as judgmental. I just want less addicts and health out there. Love to all.
Nope!
No disrespect to dmx but this shit is corny af this is worst than bhad babie.
It’s an 8 year old child. What is wrong with you dumbass people?
This is not a good look.
Live and let live..accusing her for wanting to follow in her dads footsteps and stating its not appropriate is wrong u bunch of bitches.. suck my dick u white cocksuckers..i c the bitch and hate in your flat ass short dick mafuckaz..
Hot garbage.
She a baby and you hating fucking dickhead but what you got NOTHING BUM ASS
It is disgusting how you have grown ass people up here being disrespectful
She is doing just fine she only 8 I guess if she was being grown yall would approve ?
Yall gonna be the same ones on her shit when she blossom into who she really is as artists
She sounds good to me??♀️ She def has potential.. I feel sorry for a lot of y’all trying to come for a kid.
Do you know that at the age of 8 DMX did NOT sound like the man we all know now?? Let the little girl take what gift and legacy her father gave her and develope it. Most adults making ill comments are just haters. She probably has more money in her bank account than all of the haters combined…at age 8 so keep up with the negatively cuz apparently she is using it to fuel her skill set…which most adults cant even recognize what their skill set is. A lot of people thought Will Smith’s kids were horrible at rapping but they explored and grew up to discover other business ventures…BUT THEY GOT PAAIIID!!! Get your money Jr and I cant wait to see what a female version of DMX will be like…fuck what you heard!!! Keep pushing babygirl and have fun doing it
