DMX is survived by 15 children, including his youngest son Exodus. The rapper welcomed the six-year-old with fiancée Desiree Lindstrom in 2016. The mother has kept DMX fans updated on Exodus’s growth since his father’s passing in April 2021.
Most recently, she gave the internet a collective “aww” moment when she shared a video of Exodus playing the piano. Though she has previously shown the child learning the instrument, this time, the song he played had a personal connection and message.

As mentioned, Desiree gave birth to Exodus in August 2016, but she and X had been linked for nearly a decade before he died in 2021.
As of today, her Insta-profile continues to reflect the love she holds for the beloved rapper. A few scrolls in there are photos and videos of DMX posing with her or interacting with Exodus.
On his two-year death anniversary on April 9, she wrote, “You left this world today, but not my heart, missing you.”
Amid grieving her fiance’s death, Desiree has also had to pay close attention to their son’s health. In a 2022 episode of “It’s Tricky With Raquel Harper,” the mother revealed Exodus still has “stage 3 kidney disease” that required her to keep his “potassium down.”
Her most recent social media posts of the young child include him sharpening his piano skills. At this time, we have no additional updates on his health.
