“The Day DMX Died” — His Ex-Wife & Kids FINALLY Speak | X vs. Earl: The Simmons Family Speaks |

Episode 1 of X vs. Earl: The Simmons Family Speaks opens with the moment that changed everything.

In this deeply personal first episode, Tashera Simmons reflects on where she was when she first heard the news of DMX’s passing, how each of their children — Xavier, Sean, Tacoma, and Praise — received the news, and the shock, grief, and confusion that followed.

Tashera speaks candidly about knowing Earl Simmons long before the fame, before the world knew him as DMX — and watching how success, pressure, and addiction slowly reshaped the man she loved. She opens up about the complicated emotions that remain, including guilt, reflection, and questions about whether she may have enabled Earl while trying to protect her family.

This episode also explores what life looked like in the immediate aftermath of losing him — navigating grief, parenting through loss, and learning how to move forward while carrying both love and pain.
