Legendary Rapper DMX Dies With No Will, Millions in Debt, and 15 Children—Part 2

As I reported last week in part one, although DMX was wildly successful in both music and movies, the rap icon experienced serious legal and financial problems, along with frequent issues with drug addiction throughout his career. Having fathered 15 children with nine different women, DMX’s money issues largely stemmed from unpaid child support, but he also failed to pay income taxes, and both of these issues would land the rapper in prison and rehab on more than one occasion. This week, I will explore the details of how DMX’s legacy and wealth are at risk of being lost.
