During the unveiling, speeches from the late rapper’s family members were shared. Desiree Lindstrom, DMX’s fiancée and mother of his youngest son, took the stage, asserting herself as one of the members of his estate. However, when Xavier Simmons’ DMX’s eldest son took the stage, things appeared to take a turn. While on stage, Xavier stated that the ceremony couldn’t close without hearing from his dad’s “original entire family.”
Per the outlet, Xavier even chastised Lindstrom, for behaving “dishonorably.” Specifically, Xavier alleged Lindstrom excluded the rapper’s children and ex-wife, Tashera, from festivities.
The remarks apparently led to Xavier’s mic being cut off. Ultimately, Tashera appeared to weigh in on what went down, seemingly calling Lindstrom a “devil.”

Late Rapper’s Youngest Son Made Headlines Years Before His Son’s Present Remarks
Before DMX’s oldest son made headlines, his youngest son was making headlines. As The Shade Room previously reported, in December 2023, Exodus Simmons made headlines when when Lindstrom took to Instagram to share a clip of him playing his father’s song, ‘X Gon’ Give It To Ya,’ on the piano.
“Happy Birthday Earl! Thinking of you always, but especially today. You was New York!!! Exodus tribute to you! (X gonna give it to ya) We love you baby! #ForeverX,” Lindstrom had captioned the heartwarming clip at the time.
