DMX was engaged to a woman named Desiree Lindstrom when he died at White Plains Hospital in White Plains, New York on April 9. Ten days later, Lindstrom — who’s the mother of his 15th child — is speaking out about her monumental loss.
On Sunday (April 18), Lindstrom penned an Instagram tribute to the father of her 5-year-old son Exodus and expressed some of the pain she’s feeling.
“The first night we met and you held me close, I knew I would never let go,” she wrote alongside a photo of herself with DMX. “I was lost in you and nothing else mattered. My best friend, my baby, my love…truly my everything. Thank you for us. Thank you for Exodus. Thank you God for Earl Simmons…forever X.”
Lindstrom made a more permanent tribute on her body earlier this month with a tattoo dedicated to her late fiancé. Black Ink Crew artist Krystal Kills revealed she’d had the distinct honor of doing the work on Lindstrom in an Instagram post.
“I feel honored to be able to do this memorial but also saddened,” she wrote. “Your light was unmatchable. @desi123love I pray you find your way through these dark times, and remember the love you had for each other will forever be untethered/ I’m glad I got to witness it. The world lost an icon but also a great father. Praying for your family. REST IN POWER DMX. Thanks for inspiring us, and giving Yonkers a voice. You moved the world and left your mark. The city misses you.”
DMX proposed to Lindstrom in 2019 during their son’s third birthday party, but there was no word on whether they’d set a wedding date.
DMX's Public Memorial To Be Held At Brooklyn's Barclays Center
The “X Gonna Give It To Ya” rapper died after suffering a reported drug overdose and subsequent heart attack. He was placed on life support at White Plains Hospital Intensive Care Unit (ICU) upon arrival with very little brain activity and never woke up. DMX’s legacy, however, will never die. His first post-prison album was reportedly finished at the time of his death and is expected to feature Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Usher, Alicia Keys, Griselda and more.
A public memorial for DMX will be held at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Saturday (April 24).

Y’all gonna keep pushing the overdose when he was sober? Honor his memory and speak facts. He got that cv vax to go on tour and had a heart attack. Don’t do him dirty by making it sound like he relapsed.
Of course mainstream is going to say “these facts aren’t proven. This is just conspiracy” blah blah but one of his people put this out there. Be better than the msm. Rest in power DMX. You will be missed.
What are you mumbling about? He got high on crack and OD’d. Thank god before he could produce kid number 16. you Xtards really crack me up.
How do you know this for a fact was you there?
Rest in peace DMX Will Ever Be Forgotten I Love Your Music
It was the David-19 “vaccine” that done killed him. Dude had been sober for a long time. He took the poison “vaccine” for touring purposes to go along with his new album dropping. The vaccine done killed this man. The family put out a statement saying it was the vaccine. Stop lying about it being an overdose. Oh yeah maybe you can call it an “overdose”… he overdosed on that poison “vaccine”!!!
david-19?? more like heroin 19 fam
You don’t have the RIGHT to say that if you weren’t there,. Let the dogs grieve in peace!
fuckthat
You don’t have the RIGHT TO DAY THAT IF YOU WEREN’T THERE. If the family said it, LET it BE and SO IT IS!
His drug of choice was crack and cocaine and he dies by way of heart attack caused from an acute overdose of cocaine. He was clinically dead for tooong without oxygen, life support would not help him, and he never woke up. Get your facts straight before you bash someone else for giving their wrong answer too, The Pot calling the Kettle black!
Wow! He overdosed on cocaine by heart attack, because he was dead and not getting oxygen to his brain life support would not save him, he never woke up! Your horrible analogy of why you think he died is hilarious. We al know he had demons and tried so hard to be clean and sober for himself and his family, drug addictions don’t care; your will power and thoughts of the mind always get the better of you!
DMX !!! Now I know where my dogs at…..rest in peace my Brother rest in peace !!!
RIP my dog your truly gonna be miss
R.I.P. DMX YOU’RE TRULY GONE TO BE MISSED??????
He truly is
I loved DMX music and will truly miss him. He was 1 of a kind along with keeping it 100 & lit at an all time high. DMX Gone, But Never 4Gotten.
Dmx was the best rapper to me and actor
Yes he was
Yes it was said that he was sober & he also sought out rehab when the devil waved its ugly head to try & pursue for what killed him.
Now the 1st report coincided with the ending speculation – DMX passed away from a heartattack that was brought on from using again.
I believe if drugs weren’t on the equation, he would still be sharing our air with us.
Now haters are gonna hate n they gonna talk shit – donþ fall prey to them. Simply scroll and or comment, ignore the hate.
Dmx waa.a good rapper hr will be missed
