DMX
Number of Kids: 15
The rapper confirmed that he has fathered 15 children with a large number of women. When asked to name his children, the rapper admitted that he could not. DMX has declared bankruptcy amidst massive child support debt, which at one point soared to $400,000.
In 2016, DMX fathered Exodus Simmons with Desiree Lindstrom.
The rapper fathered Xavier, Tocoma, Shawn, and Praise with ex-wife Tashera Simmons. An additional 10 were born to other mothers, a major complaint leading to DMX’s divorce with Tashera.

The rapper had his first child at 17. He died at age 40.

Ol’ Dirty Bastard (ODB)
Number of Kids: 13
One of rap’s most colorful characters, Ol’ Dirty Bastard fathered an insane 13 kids before passing away at 36. The rapper, born in 1969 in Brooklyn, started having children as a teenager. Ultimately, the rapper had fathered children with 11 different women, many of whom remain unidentified.
Three of those children were fathered with Icelene Jones. In 1997, ODB (real name: Russell Tyrone Jones) was arrested for not paying $35,000 in child support.
ODB’s first son, ‘Young Dirty Bastard,’ has spoken of creating a film to commemorate his father’s legacy. “He was a black superhero,” YDB said.
What about Kanye West, whose wife was definitely held up and robbed in Paris.
This is nothing. Elephant and Denroy Morgan have both hit 30 kids already.
And DMX really has like 21 kids… (admitted in interview) I know the family and they are all destroyed by him… it’s truly sad. Also bob Marley is legendary for having uncountable kids. They say half the island is related to him…, lol
WHo’s had too many awful kids? – The Trumps and the Bushes. Musicians are often poor growing up, and get while the getting is good. Jagger and Sting are supporting all their children by the way. Being related to them is a step up, although probably not very emotionally fulfilling, but who knows? Judge not. Having ten children used to not be the end of the world. It may be now, but the world is going to rats for other reasons as well.
What a pathetic human being you are.
Can’t even stay on topic
Too many children? By whose standard? There is a great deal of difference between having children with your spouse (Joe Jackson, etc.) and having 10 different baby mamas and 11 different babies whose names you don’t know. Lumping them all in together dilutes your point.
Joe Jackson actually had 12 kids and a possibility the 12th is Joe’Vahnnie Jackson.
And thee possible is Donte’ Jackson. (No One knows who his father really is and the Gold Digger mother Alihandra Jackson had kids with Randy And Jermaine and there is roumor that she also was with Joe. That Tramp really gets around. She put the family to the test.
Oh and P.S. Jermaine’s other daughter with an unknown woman’s name is Dawn Not Jasmine
Some are unable to have even one, and they always seem to be goody goody ordinary citizens. Who ever heard of an infertile rapper, athlete, rock star.
I have five and sadly dont remember Nair one of their birthdays. What a piece of shit I am. And nobody knows about any of them.
