Earl Simmons

DMX, a tall representative of hip-hop culture (a man is 1.80 m tall), from a young age did not differ in exemplary behavior. The talented performer was imprisoned more than 15 times, but he never stopped breaking the law. Rumor has it that psychological illness was the culprit for such rash behavior. The rapper himself denies his own problems and once again turns to lawyers for help in order to avoid a new criminal prosecution.

Earl Simmons (real name DMX) was born on December 18, 1970 in New York. The biography of the future rapper originates in the poor quarters of the city, where a single mother with children had to move after the birth of a boy.

From an early age, the child moved among religious people - Earl's mother was a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses. The poor health of the child and the constant lack of finances forced the woman to send the child to a boarding school.

Bad company had a negative impact on the impressionable youth. Quite early, the teenager ended up in a colony for hooliganism, robbery and vandalism. After his release, Earl, in his own words, decided to take up music in order to please the girls more.

Earl began his musical career in beatboxing and DJing, but quickly realized that he liked a certain genre of music. Like all cool guys, the young man needed a pseudonym. For his stage name, Simmons chose the acronym DMX, which stands for Dark Man X.

In 1992, the rapper's first song, "Born Loser," recorded with the Columbia label, sounded on the radio. The contract with the recording studio was terminated immediately after the release of the track.

Frustrated by the problems in music, the man gets into trouble. In 1994, the musician was detained with a large consignment of drugs. After leaving prison, DMX meets the representatives of the Def Jam Recordings label. At this point, the career of a musician finally took off. The man released 2 successful albums: "It's Dark and Hell Is Hot" and "Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood".

Between the recordings of the collections, the man participates in the creation of the film "Belly". However, the popularity did not sober the singer. In 2000, the man is again caught with a large batch of drugs.

Having got out of the next round of criminal proceedings, in 2001 the rapper recorded his third album "Great Depression". The man created most of the hits in a depression caused by the death of his grandmother, one of the closest people who endured the musician's antics.

In 2003, the man creates a video for one of the most popular songs "Dogs Out" and plays the main role in the action movie "From the Cradle to the Grave". In the same year the artist's next album “Grand Champ” was released, after the presentation of which the man announced that he was leaving the stage.

However, after many situations related to drugs, drunk driving and constant stay in a prison cell, DMX again released an album entitled "Year of the Dog ... Again" (2006). The artist's new creation disappointed fans. The different style and presentation of the texts did not allow the collection to become a leader.

In May 2008, after neighbors complained about the noise, a police patrol was sent to the rapper's house. Servants of the law found 12 live and 3 dead Pit Bull dogs in the musician's yard. Traces of cruelty were found on the animals. A similar situation already happened with the rapper in 2002. At the same time, the musician positioned himself as an animal lover and even made a pit bull tattoo on his back.

A year later, the rapper was "carried away" to the other extreme. The man remembered his love for religion, which he experienced in childhood, and announced to reporters that he intends to become a priest. The artist intended to launch a reality show about his own fix. Photos of the repentant sinner spread through the world media, but the musician's idea failed.

In 2016, DMX re-emerged. The man was found unconscious in his own car. The police patrol gave the singer first aid and took the rapper to the hospital. According to the official version, the musician had an asthma attack, but the police claim that DMX was on drugs.

A year later, the IRS went to a Manhattan court. As it turned out, the man had not paid taxes since 2000. Under US law, the artist faces a prison sentence of up to 44 years. In addition, the rapper has an alimony debt of $ 400 thousand.

The young man met his wife, a girl named Tashera long before the start of his musical career. Young people grew up in the neighboring streets. When the rapper's future wife was 11 years old, the girl saw how DMX was robbing an old woman. From that moment on, Tashera decided to become a faithful friend of the bully.

In 1999, the lovers got married. For 15 years, four children have appeared in the family: Javier, Sean, Tacoma and Prime Marie Ella. The musician's marriage broke up in 2014, after a casual acquaintance Monique Wayne declared that DMX was the father of her unborn child. The girl said that the rapper raped her in a nightclub. However, to the situation with Monique, Tashera heard rumors about extramarital affairs and the illegitimate children of a man.

In 2016, Desiree Lindstrom, the singer's new passion, gave birth to a son, whom the couple named Exodus. According to unconfirmed reports, the man is the father of 15 children from 9 different women.

In January 2018, the rapper violated his parole terms. The man was released from prison on bail (he was awaiting a decision on the tax evasion case) on the condition that the musician goes to a drug treatment clinic and does not leave the institution. But DMX broke the ban and went to the nearest bar.

In March, a Manhattan court ruled in the American rapper's case. For non-payment of taxes, the musician was sentenced to imprisonment for 1 year. In addition, the man is obliged to pay the tax service $ 1.7 million in arrears.

In May, the artist reminded fans that 20 years have passed since the release of "It's Dark and Hell Is Hot". The man posted the cover of his debut album on his Instagram.
