Over a month since DMX’s tragic passing, it’s been revealed his will was filed by family members with Westchester County court earlier in May and the estate’s total sum is less than $1 million, according to docs seen by the New York Daily News.
The estate filings were made by five of X’s 15 children, with daughters Sasha Simmons and Jada Oden filing on May 10 and additional motions made on behalf of his sons Xavier, Tacoma and Sean Simmons on May 21.
The Daily News also reported the estate’s estimates could only be five figures and less than $50,000. Prior to his passing, he was sentenced to a year in prison in 2018 for dodging $1.7 million in taxes.
DMX — born Earl Simmons — passed away on April 9 at White Plains Hospital after suffering a heart attack that was triggered by an alleged drug overdose a week prior. A celebration of life ceremony was held to honor the Yonkers native on April 24 at the Barclays Center.
X’s eighth studio album is set to arrive on Friday (May 28). The first single from Exodus dropped on Tuesday (May 25) with Griselda’s Benny The Butcher, Westside Gunn and Conway The Machine guesting on “Hood Blues.”
Swizz Beatz spoke to Zane Lowe on Beats 1 ahead of Exodus‘ release about how 2020’s Verzuz between DMX and Snoop Dogg proved to be a springboard toward the album.
Swizz Beatz Reveals DMX + Snoop Dogg Verzuz Was Catalyst For 'Exodus' Album
“He basically was like, ‘Yo, let’s get Batman and Robin back on again,'” he said. “Once he started that, he was clear. He was sober as well. Then he did Verzuz, and then when he did Verzuz and went to the next level, because he’s see the people still had love for him.”
He continued, “A lot of artists, they don’t really know how the people feel about them. People can see you in the street, but music wise and how is that appreciation. Yeah. You want to take a picture, but do you really mess with me?”
A rapper with a known drug problem, a history of skipping on his taxes, and has 15 kids wasn’t good with money? Shocking!
Cr@cK k!ll$… your net worth. Ask Bobby Brown.
No not being conscious of who’s around you too. I am pretty damn sure someone was lining their pockets also.
he must have been a big spender.
Il y a un seul album?
C’est pas un double album . Un seul oui !!
What y’all thought dude had copious amounts of cash stashed and was just going to Jail for fun? The fact he had 15 kids should tell them even if he did have money you ain’t getting much cuz it’s being split up 15 ways AFTER you settle all his debts.
Im willing to bet some on todays singing rappers that use fake stacks of money in their videos arent worth much more than a million either. Its all an illusion. Most of rappers fake it on camera. If you do the math, it never adds up to what they try to make you believe they are worth.
It’s simple PLAY BALL for the lakers you can go to their dressing room wear their outfit run out with the team and be called a LAKER. But stop playing ball the only memory u have is what u KEPT and the memories u recorded and the people that knew u as a LAKER ——— privileged DENIED NOW COLD GAME
