DMX‘s family is at odds over who will control the late rapper’s estate.
Full story below…
Desiree Lindstrom, who was the MC’s fiancée at the time of his death in April, petitioned a judge to be deemed DMX’s “common-law wife.”
A move, which if granted, would have seen her become his next of kin and presented the clearest path to gain control of his estate. Desiree, who shares a 5-year-old son named Exodus with the icon, would also preside over any of his future earnings.
The motion was denied.
Concurrently, DMX’s three adult sons from his marriage to Tashera Simmons — Xavier, 28, Tacoma, 21, and Sean, 19 — are jointly petitioning to be administrators of the estate.
Complicating matters more, two of X’s adult daughters from other relationships while was married have also filed to be named administrators. They are Sasha Simmons and Jada Oden.
The urgency from all is understandable in light of the speed at which posthumous projects, such as the rapper’s final album ‘Exodus,’ are surfacing.
As for Desiree’s relationship with the wider family, specifics are not yet known. At the star’s funeral, she was tearfully embraced by Tashera. Yet, the various filings arguably tell a story in and of themselves.

In any case, it’s unlikely to be plain sailing for any of those involved given that the rapper has 14 children in total and left no will nor much in the way of liquid assets.
Yepper! Get that coins girl💅🏿 You deserved it! Keep milking the dead people🤳🏿 Money is everything!
Fiance is just a glorified girlfriend. Bye Desiree!
All this proves to me is that dark black people are like vultures always taking what doesn’t belong to them.
What DARK black people are you referring to? Also do you realize how ignorant you even sound? Then I’ll finish with this: WHITE PEOPLE have been murdering parents, grandparents even children just for the sake of getting money so think before you decide to take the RACIAL route again
His oldest kids w Tashera are next of kin. Sorry girl
You never married him so…how did you figure you’d inherent anything? And it was an on-&-off engagement and relationship. This is basic knowledge. The estate would automatically go to his children since they are of age and the eldest would be in charge. Girl….bye!
Money is the. Route of ALL EVIL, so, very sad family does this instead of all his kids as well as his fiance coming together and there is (13/14 of us) so let’s all agree in writing and split the estate 13….14 ways (including the 5year old who deserves his part when he is of age, I did property management and sadly more times then not THIS WAS THE OUTCOME, GREED takes over and that monster will make you lose in the Blink of an eye, DMX should of had a will done incase for sure, I recommend EVERYONE TO MAKE ONE…. you don’t need a perfectly drawn up one if it’s your hand writing and your signature it will hold leverage, this destroys families and the amount of money in his estate as well as social Security the fiance will, receive for his 5 yr old that amount monthly will set her straight the kids should receive equal, shares I can not imagine getting a share of money like thisBE GREATFUL some of us would be so beyond happy with it ps I’d give my portion up to see my dad once.
