Another Child Comes Forward In DMX Estate Battle
A woman has come forward claiming to be the child of legendary late hip-hop artist DMX — bringing the total of children he allegedly fathered to 15.
Page Six exclusively reported that a Georgia woman named Raven Barmer-Simmons has been contacting DMX’s other adult children in the past few weeks.
She and the other 14 alleged children of the late rapper will all be DNA tested to confirm their paternity.
The battle over DMX, real name Earl Simmons,’ estate and all future earnings from his music is still ongoing.
On Friday, Judge Helen Blackwood appointed DMX’s three sons Xavier, Tacoma and Sean Simmons from his 16-year marriage to Tashera Simmons as the temporary administrators of the estate.
X’s fiancée Desiree Lindstrom, who is the mother to his 5-year-old son, Exodus, had applied to the court to be legally declared his “common-law wife,” but the judge shot her down.
Lindstrom also petitioned the court to be an administrator of his estate — estimated to be worth around $1 million — as well as the rapper’s older daughters, Sasha Simmons and Jada Oden.
Herbert Nass, the trusts and and estates attorney for X’s sons revealed that there was no will in place at the time of DMX’s death.
“I want to point out that when a person dies without a will, a surety bond needs to be posted, and obtaining a bond is difficult.
DMX passed away following a cocaine-induced heart attack. He was 50-years old.
