Despite being arrested more than 25 times, including charges of drug possession and animal cruelty, DMX says that he is happy with the choices he’s made in his life.
“I wouldn’t redo anything ‘cause it got me right here where I’m at right now and I’m in a good place,” DMX says during an interview with Dr. Phil that aired today (September 25). “No regrets.”
Elsewhere in the interview, DMX says that he has 11 children and that he has another on the way.
“They’re well taken care of,” DMX says to Dr. Phil. “I’m a big influence in their lives. I love all of my children. I do see them and speak to them when I can. I do have [a] relationship with my children. I love my children. I would never just not be a part of my children’s lives. That doesn’t make sense.”
Dr. Phil then asks if the reports that DMX is more than $1 million behind in child support.
“Yes, I am,” DMX says. “The reason being because at a time I was making $13 million a year, so if I’m making $13 million a year, then I can pay that. I haven’t made that in about 10 years, so of course I’m behind in payments, but the children are taken care of.”
DMX also says that because of his criminal record, his driver’s license and his passport have been revoked, both of which have made it difficult for him to make money since he is not able to drive to performances and because he is unable to tour overseas. The rapper filed for bankruptcy in July and earlier this month, The Wall Street Journal‘s website published a story that said DMX said in court filings that his estimated monthly income is $5,000 and that he has monthly expenses of $5,221, which include $1,000 on clothing and $500 on laundry and dry cleaning
“You can get buried under these things and it’s kind of hard to get out,” DMX said to Dr. Phil. “It’s being worked out.”
An admitted long-time drug abuser, DMX also said that his reliance on drugs is diminishing.
“I don’t have to get high,” he says. “I smoke weed. I drink, yes. But that’s it. And one day, that’ll be gone. That’ll be gone because my faith is in God, man, and He’s not going to remove it all at once, but He’s taking steps and I’m taking steps every day to get better and get where I need to be.”
UPDATE: DMX’s full interview from “Dr. Phil” can be viewed below.
you cant hate on this guy. everything he said was some real shit i hope he can get it straight and build his empire again for his kids sake
Saying that I don’t need to listen to other people and I only need to listen to myself is real? Real fucking ignorant!
so hes supposed to listen to what a bunch of nobodies on twitter have to say? LOL
Not what I’m referring to. He should listen to mental health professionals, idiot.
Hate to break it to you DMX, but raising kids takes money, and if you’re a drug addict and are already 1 million in the hole for child support, who exactly is paying for them to have the things they need? This guy is such a fucking joke. 11 kids with another on the way? His family and friends should just tell this loser to fuck off. Let him continue doing whatever he does until his heart stops.
No, the ordered sums for the child support are the fucking joke. Even if he ain’t paid a dime in the last 10 years (which I doubt), the upkeep of 11 children for that time isn’t anywhere near 1 million. Unless, of course, you’re just being greedy c*nts trying to put the dude behind bars.
Both of yall are wrong. The real joke here is anonymous commenters sense of entitlement.
Real Recognize Real.
Good interview, I’ve rooted for the dude and respect DMX a bit more for doing this. While I don’t agree with all that was said dude seemed sincere, hopefully he finds his peace and leaves the trouble behind for good.

Damn,X!!!! You know you can get that child support modified, right??? If you haven’t made 13 mil in 10 years, you have a horrible lawyer to not get the order modified…
Very good dmx,he is a smart dude if u can read between the lines….
He actually seems to have all his head in this interview for once. I was so used to seeing him high and agitated as fuck in every interview, i thought that’s how he had turned too. Nice to see the dude is in a better place.
Hello there, please view my relationship poem, go to Google, type in my name, Derek Newell Poet, then my poem ”EXPRESS IT”. Thank You.
my mamma says im special
DMX made 5 #1 triple platinum albums.
X would lyrically murder 2pac. Oh yeah….. and guess who’s still livin today. At least X was smart enough not to get himself shot.
DMX is the only dude with enough influence who’s actually willing to say something about wack motherfuckers.
When Nas said hip hop is dead, he said he meant that it was because label heads controlled the music, and rappers lost control.
But, DMX is actually calling out wack motherfuckers for their content.

Here comes the 2nd article of a 15 min interview.
Tomorrow’s DMX news “DMX has 12 kids”
Saturday’s article “DMX coping with substance abuse”
Sunday “DMX working on new album”
Monday “DMX arrested for DUI”
lol so true
you see it JRA
twelve kids ?? what the fuck man ???
and this “i wouldn’t redo anything” line shows how fucked up this dude is !!
this so called “place” you are right now is not good for you man. indeed you almost lost everything.
i’m totally disappointed by he became ! he went from a dope hip-hop artist selling millions of records to a crack fiend running naked down in the hallway of an hotel
just leave the pipe alone man and use condoms. get your shit together dog
all you’re doing is applying your moral values to his life. Your version of success doesn’t match everyone else’s.
If he’s comfortable in his own skin streaking in a hotel, I ain’t nobody to look down on him, I’ve seen Johnny Knoxville do worse things with a TV contract. I’ve known poorer people than him who have more kids and they’re happy and straight.
I know people now who “got their sh*t together” and would LOVE to live carefree like X BEEN doing.
As for the drugs, a new study says that although Blacks are convicted for crack, more whites use it. Be careful with that and get your house in order.
at the end of return living dead. guy says wait? whats te sound noise???? dj khlaed said listennnnnnnnnnnn
wowwww

honeyyy loveeeeeeee r kelly raps in back forth…… “mariah carey” honey”
DMX needs to learn not just African-American history but his African History as well, this is why he so lost, he simply doesn’t know who the fuck he is just like the rest of you slave ass mofo’s.. Don’t think you can be complete when you hate the tree aka the country you come from (AFRICA).. You fks don’t must learn and follow the DRUM back to WEST AFRICA, watch ROOTS again and stop watching SCARFACE.. READ Dr. NAIM AKBAR (BREAKING THE CHAINS OF PSYCHOLOGY) if you wanna get FREE mentally.. X might be on crack but 90 percent of you clowns up here don’t know your history and your super wack.. READ, LEARN AND GROW YOU CAN KNOW..
Agree, Great to learn your history and ancestral roots definitely , Africa is not a country though its a continent.
you need to do a bit more learning. AFRICA. a country? really now

the only thing dmx the crackhead wishes he could take back was going at drake. He lives in fear that drake will body his wack ass one day. This is why he hides in jails and stays as far away from drake as possible
The only fool DMX is afraid of is himself, he’s that ILL
You can just tell X is a real ass dude. He dont give a fuck if you like him or not. Like his music or not
what a looser
dmx is a fucking loser. he has fallen so far. spilling his guts for a fake doctor on day time tv. this dude was a special talent man. he lost it all. what a man child. fucking all types of hoes with no rubber when he’s already behind on the kids he got. 13 mill a year to bankruptcy. real life.
Your an asshole
@ sade yea yea yea yea

hes a street dude who got rich and famous from hip hop..hip hop dudes are laying down women all the time so 12 kids sounds reasonable.dmx is fucking women and how many he has kids with really is nobodys biz.drug use and abuse is so high so many people use drugs and its hard to stop but hes trying.hes not robbing or shooting anyone and if they have to keep bringing up a stupid time about his police expedition with the cop lights that not even cool.it sounds so blown up by media its crazy..let him live hes not doing anyone any harm but himself.
If he was a nobody off the street then it wouldn’t be anybody’s business, but when you’re a former celebrity, then expect every mistake you make to be scrutinized and turned around on you.
” …is unable to tour overseas.”
He came to Amsterdam some years ago, showed up 2 hours late, did a 40 minute show and bailed. He can stay home as far as I care.
DMX’s kids should tell him to get lost.
The sad thing is that cell phone he’s talking on was disconnected three years ago.
