DMX Was Close To Billionaire Status According To His Ex-Wife, Says He Rejected Deal With Jay-Z

[ajnapoleon]

Nah Jay had a good deal with Def Jam and retained a lot of the money for album sales.

They had to offer Jay being the def jam pres

Because if Jay cashed those royalties checks from those albums it would have bankrupted def jam


X had a shyt contract and he sold a lot of records for def jam

yeah, so am I

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

All due respect to X, but no tf he wasn't.

I think after his 1998-2000 run, he probably had a lot more bread than Jay-Z. He did more sales, movies, concerts. If Jay got to a billy, he could've if he had any saavy in him. But X don't care about money and zero discipline to invest it.

Jay's bread mostly came from his business deals, not from Rap. Rap was used to propel him in business. Not to mention Hov owned a label.

Most these rapper that move around acting/looking like they're worth $100M+ are actually worth 10% of that at best.

Didn't he famously not cash his Def Jam checks until he was about to leave the label?

I believe if he had lived a life free of drugs and made better decisions he could have easily been worth 100 million.

I doubt he had more money as Jay had his own label

Do y'all think she's lying? Why?

Jay was signed to his own label.

She might be stupid?

 

[King Poetic]

Can’t believe it

U can tell with X coming out here in Cali dude would burn through cash and partying and snorting and u hearing about different chicks being knocked up and u like “ dude is broke”

 

[904]

I'm sure he generated a billion but his deals didn't give him that

 

[Mac Ten]

X didn’t think long term..


Dude died a fiend and died broke.


In a alternate dimension, X became clean and became a preacher

 

[Ohene]

There is no way this true.
