DMX’s family (real name Earl Simmons) set the record straight over the alleged sale of the late rapper’s master recordings and his upcoming funeral in a new statement.
“There have been a few rumors following the death of our beloved, Earl Simmons’, that we would like to clarify,” his family said in a statement. Billboard“Nobody bought Earl’s masters. we do not sell merchandise or raise money for Earl’s funeral. If someone asks for money for their funeral, keep in mind that the person is a scammer. We will keep the public informed of funeral and memorial services arrangements. “
The most popular rumor around the DMX catalog claimed that Beyoncé and Jay-Z bought X’s master recordings for $ 10 million with plans to return his masters to his 17 kids – even though DMX only has 15 kids. Swizz Beatz also shot the rumor on social media, “Not a real king,” Swizz wrote alongside the bogus article on Instagram.
