Congratulations are in order (we think) for DMX.
He is a father... again... for the 15th time -- just imagine that family
Christmas card.
TMZ reports that the "Ruff Ryders" rapper
welcomed his 15th child last week in New York. The baby, a boy, weighed 6 lbs,
10 oz.
The celebrity website said that baby's name is
Exodus Simmons and it's the first child DMX has had with his longtime
girlfriend Desiree.
DMX apparently wasn't there when Desiree gave
birth, as he was in Arizona performing a concert. However, he flew back to New
York after getting news of the birth.
He told TMZ that he's overjoyed with the
addition to his brood, calling the baby a "blessing."
For the sports fans out there, 15 children means
he could fill three starting lineups for three basketball teams (that amount of
kids is almost equal to the Duggar numbers!).
How DMX affords these children isn't known. In
2013, a federal judge in New York tossed out his bankruptcy filing, making him
fair game for creditors.
His biggest debt at the time was $1.3 million he
owed in child support. At the time he had fathered 10 children.
Earlier this year, DMX was deemed lucky to be
alive after he stopped breathing and had no pulse. He said he suffered from a
severe asthma attack, but others wondered if he suffered an overdose.
On Feb. 9, police in Yonkers, New York responded
to a call about an unconscious male at a Ramada Inn. DMX was on the ground in
the parking lot next to a parked car when police arrived and it was determined
he was lifeless, not breathing with no pulse.
Police began life saving procedures and the
rapper came back to life and he was taken to a hospital.
At the time, TMZ said a witness told cops that X
ingested a powder before falling unconscious. X, though, said he remembered
having shortness of breath after suffering from bronchitis for a couple of
days. A family member said he asked for an inhaler just before falling
unconscious.
