It is now nearly four years since the death of Florida rapper XXXTentacion. The 20-year-old, real name Jahseh Dwayne Ricardo Onfroy, was murdered in Deerfield Beach, Florida, at a motorcycle dealership. Almost four years on, no trial date has been set for his alleged murderers and the motive is still unclear. However, X’s estate continues to keep his music alive through sporadic album releases, full of unreleased or remastered material of the late rapper. 2018 saw the release of Skins, with Bad Vibes Forever following a year later but, while these were mired in controversy and bad blood, the fans clung to them. Now, the fans are getting a little more.

On what would have been XXXTentacion’s 24th birthday, his estate announced another release on Twitter.

X’s estate thanked fans for their “love and support” and said “his impact continues to be as powerful as it’s ever been.” The estate went on to state that they are “planning an exciting 2022”, kicking it off with the release of X’s song, “Vice City”, a track from his early days. The release is set for this Friday, Jan. 28. Per the estate:

“One of our first initiatives is to get as much of X’s music from his earliest days as an artist up on all DSPS. We have been working diligently to clear as much of it as possible, and we are excited to announce the first release this Friday with ‘Vice City’ hitting all streaming services for the first time.”

Exciting as it is to fans, the estate went on to clarify further releases, saying: “We will continue to release music as we clear it, and are making sure we do it in a way that stays true to how X released each song originally.”

Fans are then directed to visit an official website, MakeOutHill, as well a Twitter account under the same name. Updates and news will be posted and shared at these sites. In addition, the estate addressed the question of an XXXTentacion documentary, saying that updates will be shared “soon”.

If this Friday is a little too far away, listeners can always check out “Vice City” on YouTube. Uploaded in June of 2016, the video has racked up over 57.4 million views.

DMX’s Alleged 15th Child Comes for Estate

According to Page Six, a woman named Raven Barmer-Simmons claims to be the child of the late rapper, DMX. She is trying to get a piece of the $1 million estate.

DMX  died in April of this year of a cocaine-induced heart attack. He had left no will behind, either.

On Friday (October 22), Judge Helen Blackwood appointed X’s three sons Tacoma, Xavier, and Sean Simmons as the temporary administrators of DMX’s estate. They are from his 16-year marriage to Tashera Simmons.

X’s fiancee, Desiree Lindstrom, who’s also the mother of 5-year-old Exodus, applied to the court to be legally declared his common-law wife. The judge, however, had declined her request. She also petitioned the court to be another administrator of the estate. X’s older daughters, Sasha Simmons and Jada Oden, are also trying to become administrators.

Raven Barmer-Simmons has been contacting X’s other children and claims she is DMX’s daughter. A DNA test still needs to be completed to determine her paternity.

“The next big thing is to determine who are the rightful heirs,” trusts and estates attorney Herbert Nass said. “The estate is going to ask everyone to prove paternity through DNA testing. All the legal children of DMX will be entitled to an equal share of his estate.”

DMX sold more than 74 million albums and built a successful career in both music and movies. However, he left behind an estate estimated to be in debt. Nass continued on to say, “We need to collect assets and pay debts and administration costs. We don’t have a lot of information about his income streams, but now the temporary administrators have been appointed, we can ask questions and expect answers.”

DMX’s  Fiancee Denied Common-Law Wife Status 

Dmx’s fiancee denied common-law wife status after a petition for control of the rapper’s estate.   Judge Helen Blackwood ruled that Lindstrom did “not have the standing to file” as his common-law wife. A Common-law marriage refers to a relationship between two people who live together as a married couple but aren’t legally married. 

A close source was able to tell more about the situation. “There is no will from DMX, and that’s a big problem.  But the court refused.”

Who Else Wants Control?

 The rapper’s three adult sons from his marriage to Tashera, Xavier, 28, Tacoma, 21, and Sean, 19, as well as two adult daughters from another relationship, Sasha Simmons and Jada Oden, are petitioning to manage his estate. According to DMX’s children’s findings, there was not much when it came to finances. They say DMX’s estate is worth less than $50,000. His sons Xavier, Tacoma, and Sean Simmons filed documents on May 21 and said it was worth less than $1 million.

DMX died in April at the age of 50. Leaving no will or liquid assets. People will know the judge’s decision on July 15th, who will be the former rapper’s estate administrator.

Brother of XXXTentacion is Suing His Mother Over Estate

XXXTentacion

Once again, the XXXTentacion estate is causing problems for his family.

Corey Pack, a brother of the late XXXTentacion, claims that their mother has been hiding money in the estate through shell corporations. Last week, he filed a formal complaint against their mother. Allegedly, mother Cleopatra Bernard was transferring money from the estate to different holding companies. Pack claims that he is being robbed of his portion of the estate, worth $50 million.

This is not the first time Corey has attempted to receive his share of XXXTentacion’s estate

Shortly after the Florida rapper’s death, Bernard allegedly cut Pack out of his estate entirely. Last year, Pack sued her in attempts to receive his (25%) of the estate. An attorney that represents XXX’s brother said on the matter that his mother was attempting to “deprive our client, Corey Pack, of recovery if he’s successful in his efforts to secure his inheritance rights under his late brother’s trust or will.”

Essentially, Bernard was attempting to hide Corey’s possible share of the money. She did this in case Pack could secure his portion of the estate through the lawsuit.

Fans were not happy to hear that XXXTentacion’s mother was getting into more drama regarding the money and her son’s estate. She was also recently involved in the drama regarding her plan to release his unreleased music as NFTs. Many fans found this to be an attempt to profit from the late musician. Since the rapper’s record label released alot of music under his name since his death in 2018, fans have blamed Bernard.

Here’s to hoping they can work out their differences in the future!
