DMX did have some controversies in his life. For example, he was sent to jail around 30 times. This includes everything from robbery and assault to animal cruelty and drug possession. He also had feuds with Ja Rule and Jay-Z. DMX said that he became addicted to drugs at a young age. This could have been as young as 14 years old. He did go to rehab several times in his life. But, drugs would ultimately lead to his demise.

What Happened to DMX?

Unfortunately, it has been confirmed that DMX passed away. This happened on the 9^th of April 2021. While there was some speculation about whether this really happened or not, it is now official news. This is a huge loss to his family and he had 15 children that will grow up without a father. In addition, his fans are devastated the whole hip-hop industry is going to suffer as a result.

It is believed that DMX had a big heart attack. His death was confirmed in White Plains, New York. He was 50 years old when he died and it could have been three heart attacks he had that left him in a vegetative state. A lot of people want to know how he ended up in hospital. Well, it is thought that he overdosed on drugs. In particular, it is thought that this was cocaine, which led to a deadly heart attack and DMX ended up in a coma and on life support.

What Has Happened After DMX’s Death?

One thing that a lot of people want to know about after a death in the family is whom the estate is going to go to. Indeed, DMX had 15 children and so when he died, they wanted to know how much inheritance they would get.

Around a month after his death, five of the children wanted to know how much their inheritance would be. This is why they filed a court petition. Without there being any legal partner, this meant that DMX’s whole estate was split between his 14 children. They would receive the same amount of money. But, something important to note is that the money they would receive would be minus the debt. This comes off an estate first before anybody gets any money.

DMX was in a relationship for seven years. However, they never married. His girlfriend was called Desiree Lindstrom. Despite filing a petition in court, she was not recognized as a common-law spouse. This means that she did not receive anything from DMX’s estate when he died.

It is thought that DMX had around $1 million of debt. This will be paid off first. The rest will be split between his children. There is even another person that claims to be his daughter. She will have to have a DNA test done in order to enjoy some of his estate. It is suspected that she will do this in order to receive the money.
