DMX’s Sons Allege His Estate Is Worth Less Than $1 Million In Court Docs, Daughters Say It’s Less Than $50,000

More information is coming out about the life and loss of iconic rapper DMX.

After selling more than 74 million albums and appearing in multiple movies through the span of his career, DMX’s (born Earl Simmons) estate could be less than $1 million; possibly less than $50,000, court documents filed by his children allege, according to Yahoo! News.

Five of DMX’s 15 children filed separate court documents. His daughters Sasha Simmons and Jada Oden first filed documents on May 10, alleging his estate is worth less than $50,000. His sons Xavier, Tacoma, and Sean Simmons then filed documents on May 21, claiming his estate is worth less than $1 million. Both sides are hoping to be named administrators in the late rapper’s estate.

Still, an insider close to the estate said the value could go up as DMX’s hits gain more popularity after his passing.

“I don’t doubt it. This music will last into eternity.”

DMX launched his career with five No. 1 albums in a row from 1998-2003. He’s the first and only rapper to achieve this milestone. He also starred in movies like Belly and Cradle 2 The Grave.

In his personal life, his struggle with drug addiction led to multiple arrests and time in rehab. He was sentenced to a year in prison in 2018 for tax evasion involving a $1.7 million bill.

DMX died at White Plains Hospital on April 9 after suffering a heart attack.

Continued prayers for DMX’s family and loved ones.
