Tacoma Simmons was born on August 27, 1999, and is 24 years old. He is an Afro-American and possesses American citizenship. His birthdate means he was born under the Virgo zodiac sign.

Tacoma is the second child of DMX and Tanesha Monét Carey. You may readily recognize DMX as the well-known American rapper and actor who passed away in 2022. His mother, Tanesha, like her ex-husband, was part of the showbiz industry for a while. He was raised with three other siblings.

DMX’s son spent most of his boyhood in Mount Kisco, New York, where he was born and raised.

Tacoma Simmons is the son of Earl and Tashera Simmons. His parents were married for about 10 years, and Tacoma and his three siblings remain the only products from that marriage. His father was one of the most famous rappers in the 90s. His 1998 first album, “It’s Dark and Hell” Is Hot, which sold over 250k copies in its first week, went on to become a cult classic.

His other most popular album was his 1999 album titled “And Then There Was X.” The most popular single from that album, Party Up, was one of the biggest rap songs released that year. As an actor, DMX also appeared in a number of films, including Romeo Must Die, Cradle to the Grave, Exit Wounds, and Last Hour.

The demise of Tacoma’s parents’ marriage was rumored to be a result of infidelity on the rapper’s part. Earl and Tashera were together until the mid-2000s, after which they decided to separate for good.

Tashera Simmons is currently in her early fifties and has enjoyed a fulfilling career as a reality television actress. Tashera, who is currently single, has worked on several TV shows, including Trippin, Starter Wives, and Uncensored, all of which she appeared as part of the main cast members. She currently works as a podcaster and lives in New York, which is coincidentally her hometown.

Tacoma is extremely close to his mother, and the divorced mother-of-four has always displayed her undying love for her children by posting countless images of them on her social media handles.

Meet Tacoma Simmons’ Direct Siblings

DMX definitely took sowing wild oats seriously. He had countless children both within and outside his marriage, and those of them that have been publicly acknowledged number about 15.

However, of the 15 children linked to Tacoma Simmons’ father, only three of them are his direct siblings. They are two boys – Xavier (born in 1992) and Sean (born in 2002), and a girl – Praise Mary Ella (born in 2005).

After the four children that DMX had with his ex-wife Tashera, he went on to have at least 11 other children with different mothers. Their names are Sasha, Sonovah Junior, Aaliyah, Exodus, Aidyn, K’ydn, Jada Oden, Michelle Walton, Javon Wayne, Z’riyah, and Emmanuel Simmons. Out of all the eleven illegitimate kids DMX sired, at least five are girls, while the rest are boys. Unfortunately, the full specifics of Tacoma’s half-siblings are somewhat scanty.

In dozens of videos he has published, he can be seen playing the guitar and singing along to various powerful songs.

At the time of his death, Earl Simmons’ entire estate was valued at $10 million. It was said that Tacoma was appointed a guardian of his father’s estate and was in charge of splitting the inheritance – alongside his brothers – Xavier and Sean.

There is no doubt that Tacoma himself is an exceptionally talented young musician and songwriter.
