It is difficult to believe that five years have passed since DMX died, yet his impact continues to be felt through his family, close friends, and devoted fans. Recently, supporters and relatives came together in Yonkers, New York, to pay tribute to the late rapper. On Friday, June 12, he was officially honored with a street co naming, Earl "DMX" Simmons Way, though the ceremony briefly turned tense due to visible family disagreements.
A video that has been spreading online shows DMX's loved ones gathered on stage sharing remarks in his memory. During the moment when his eldest son, Xavier Simmons, stepped up to speak, he expressed that his mother, DMX's former wife of 15 years, Tashera Simmons, should have been present alongside them. Reports suggest that Tashera, along with some of Xavier's siblings, were not included on stage with the rest of the family. Xavier also directed criticism toward DMX's former partner and mother of his son Exodus, Desiree Lindstrom, accusing her of distancing Tashera from the rest of the family.
In footage shared by AllHipHop, Xavier can be heard saying, “There is absolutely no way that you will close this ceremony, and we will not hear from his original entire family.” He then called for Tashera and his siblings to join him on stage, emphasizing that his mother played a major role in pushing for the street renaming in honor of DMX. The atmosphere changed when he brought up Desiree, accusing her of intentionally keeping certain relatives away and telling her she "behaved dishonorably." The microphone was reportedly cut shortly after his remarks.
Following the event, Tashera addressed the situation on social media and supported her son's comments. “Did my son expose these devils? They’ve been exposed. Y’all know DMX. Y’all know Tashera," she said. "We built the DMX legacy together. There is no X without Tashera. The fact that they came to my hometown and did not want us to be recognized. I’mma let y’all sit with that one.”
Check out AllHipHop's video of the tense moment below, along with Tashera's follow-up message.
