DMX (rapper) birth name is not Earl Simmons.
 DMX also fathered a child in 2008 and fathered two daughters with Yadira Borrego
 His early work was vastly different from most mainstream hip hop music at the time; while Puff Daddy and other artists of the Bad Boy Records label were at the height of popularity, characterized by their "big-budget videos, lavish party-throwing, and dancefloor-ready music", DMX achieved success with a more dark, aggressive, "rugged", less "marketable" style
