Reports indicate the late rapper, DMX, who died on April 9, 2021 after receiving a coronavirus vaccine, left an estate worth $50,000, which is extremely low for a recording artist who has sold over 23,000,000 albums in America. His debut album alone sold 5,000,000 copies. DMX had six albums debut at #1 on the music charts. He also sold over 10,000,000 singles in America. Worldwide sales bring his album tally up to a reported 74,000,000 copies.

DMX also co-wrote his songs, many of which were top hits and radio staples, which translates into millions of dollars in music publishing royalties. Publishing can be worth more than the album sales when you have big radio hits. The record label would send DMX the beats and he would write the lyrics. His publishing split should have been hefty.

DMX also appeared as an actor in several movies and filmed a reality show. DMX’s estate should have been worth upward of $50,000,000. It’s clear he was being defrauded and due to his drug habit, things went unnoticed or unchallenged.

DMX’s family needs a good lawyer to formally conduct audits of his record label and management company. They also need to look into how much he received for films he starred in, because as we saw with former Hollywood mogul and convicted rapist, Harvey Weinstein, he didn’t pay scores of actors and filmmakers for their work, making his company’s bankruptcy filing due to his rape cases, quite ugly and contentious.

There is a significant amount of fraud and robbery going on in Hollywood, which is a den of thieves. You see it with the lies told about the film “Coming To America” allegedly not making any money or profit according to the studio, Paramount. Then upon further inspection in the 1980s Buchwald v. Paramount lawsuit, it was discovered the infringing film made a significant amount of money (over $350,000,000 to date). Hollywood is full of thieving liars and frauds.

Another case is the passing of singer Whitney Houston. Her estate only had $20,000,000, when it should have been close to $300,000,000. Whitney sold more music than any other female artist in history and starred in hit films. Whitney had several hit tours and many lucrative endorsements.

Another famous case is that of the late teen singer, Frankie Lymon. He died broke in 1968. However, his music publisher, Morris Levy, had stolen $4,000,000 in royalties from Lymon which he never saw in his lifetime. An ugly court case ensued among Lymon's heirs.

For the sake of DMX’s children, many of whom are minors, a good lawyer/law firm needs to be hired on contingency at a reasonable rate/percent to figure out what happened to all his money.
