As a freshman at Yonkers Middle High School, DMX was the second-fastest on the track and field varsity team. However, he had bad grades and a sparse attendance record.[10] He turned to robbery as a way to get out of poverty: his first was a purse snatch theft in Yonkers that netted him $1,000, which he used to buy a new leather dog collar and dog harness for his dog, and a pair of Timberlandboots for himself. By the end of the year, he attended school just to rob people and was robbing 3 people per day. He then turned to carjacking.[10].....
...DMX was the father of 15 children from 9 different women.[47] He married his childhood friend Tashera Simmons in 1999 and they were married for 11 years.[48] They had four children together: Xavier (born 1992), Tacoma (born 1999), Sean (born 2002), and Praise Mary Ella (born 2005).[49][50] In July 2010, after his first of three incarcerations that year, Tashera announced their separation.[51] They remained friends,[48] although in 2016, Tashera accused DMX of missing his $10,000/month child support payment.[52]
DMX had extramarital affairs during his marriage to Tashera, some of which produced children.[49] He had a daughter, Sasha (born 2002), with Patricia Trejo.[53] In 2012, Trejo sued DMX for $1 million in unpaid child support. The case was settled in 2013.[54] DMX and Monique Wayne, a Maryland resident, fought over her claim that he was the father of her son born in 2004. She sued him for defamation and for child support.[55] After genetic testing proved that DMX was indeed the father, in January 2008, DMX was ordered to pay Wayne $1.5 million, but a judge vacated the judgment in May 2008.[55][56][57][58] DMX also fathered a child in 2008 and fathered two children with ex-girlfriend Yadira Borrego.[49] In 2009, his daughter Sonovah Junior was born.[59] In 2011, his daughter Aaliyah, named after his close friend, Aaliyah, was born.[59] His fifteenth child, Exodus Simmons, was born to his fiancée, Desiree Lindstrom, on August 16, 2016.[
