According to court documents published by The Jasmine Brand, DMX has paid off the mortgage for a house in Westchester County, NY where his ex-wife Tashera Simmons and their four children live. Mortgage payments on the house went unpaid for just under four years before DMX reportedly paid the remaining sum of $258,927.87.
DMX initially purchased the Mount Kisco, NY property in 2000 for $649,000 before multiple stints in jail early in the decade. The rapper and his wife Tashera Simmons filed for divorce in 2012 after 14 years of marriage.
According to The Jasmine Brand, a bank filed a foreclosure lawsuit for nonpayment on the mortgage last year but failed to pursue the issue, granting DMX the chance to pay the outstanding mortgage amount.
Earlier this year, Tashera Simmons spoke about her reasons for divorcing DMX.
“The day that I finally decided to do that wasn’t cause of the drugs, sadly,” Simmons said. “I mean, he would run all over me. Talk any kind of way. Anything, in front of the kids with the drugs. I still felt like I made an oath. That was my husband through thick and thin. I felt like that drug was a disease. So, I wasn’t gonna leave him, but when he started having kids and he didn’t seem remorseful. And on top of that I felt like ‘Damn, you supposed to be my husband. My protector. You’re having unsafe sex not once, but like seven times.’ That showed me he really didn’t care. He took my kindness for weakness.”
X a real nigga for that and he still got money so dont get it twisted thinking hes some broke junkie!
‘real’ ?
He left his wife and 4 kids to damn near get kicked out of their house, got a bunch of hoes pregnant on the side, been in and out of jail, smokes/smoked crack for a decade….yeah, he’s real. A real piece of shit.
Dude had all the talent in the world, but he’s a fucking junkie who at 43 years old still acts like a little kid. GTFOH
he could have burned it down
Well, y’all love to call the man a crackead, this, that and the third, whatever… but he’s not running around trying to act like a fucking woman, wearing make up and calling other man daddy, kissing other man on the lips and all that fuckery.
DMX is the ultimate negative black stereotype. Depressing broke crackhead with like 37 kids who’s weirdly obsessed with Christianity and essentially lives in jail.
broke? haha na he rich people broke not like you
This is really news? Smdh…
DMX is a human being with faults who’s made music, not a demigod
you even speaking like “he should” just shows the weakness of YOU, at least he put himself in front street, what would we think of YOUR life Morel Orel?
DMX has a groupie left. Congrats dick rider. You see potential in Earl. He must be thrilled.
x should drop a few joints with the RULE BABY!! fuck GAY Z if he dont wanna do it.. and you no what am gonna put this out there JA MOTHA FuCKING RULE FEAT 50 CENT, thats rite dudes dont even have to be in the same building just get that motha fucking jont done,
She’s a strong and smart woman. No need to stay in a relationship and take bullshit
If she’s so smart, why’d she stick around while X was fucking everything that moved?
x need to invest 250k into his next album so we can get one more solid dmx album..cant end off his career on that trash he dropped 2 years ago.
I’m not sure who is still checking for X at this point in time. It’s one thing to fall off, but quite another to become the person he’s become.
Sadly, his career has been over.
Love X but dude always pissed me offf how he treat his wife, niggaz be wishing to have some1 that loyal but the drugs will do that 2 you
I’m glad he at least paid that mortgage. that’s a good look and shows he does have a heart though
“43 yrs old and acts like a kid” What’s he doing that kids do?And only gay dudes talk about another guys age.Straight dudes Aint concerned about another dudes age!
yeah how many kids you know smoke rocks and impersonate fbi agents
fucking crack head!!
why judge a man from his drug of choice?
Crackheads steal and sell Wotever they own to get crack.He’s not a crackhead. Its just/was is drug of choice.He can afford it.its a rich mans drug
Despite what anyone says at least he has secured a home for his children ,Im sure his addiction is not something he want to have, all this foolish name calling shows a great deal of ignorance ,May God bless this brother and bring him thru this storm !
STFU. You sound gullible and misinformed. DMX has chosen to stay on drugs for years. Just cause he got someone to give him the money to pay off the house doesn’t mean he’s suddenly father of the year. He needs to be there, not fucking crack whores and eating at Red Lobster.
X remains my number 1
Old news. He paid it off back in March 18th as the document says.
Want y’all stfu u don’t know what he do with his money or kids worry about u dumb bitches
