Family and Estate Administration
Tacoma Simmons is one of fifteen children of DMX, who died aged 50 on April 9, 2021, starting lengthy New York intestacy proceedings. His mother Tashera Simmons and full siblings Xavier, Sean, and Praise Mary Ella have managed DMX’s remaining assets and royalties. In May 2021, Tacoma, Xavier, and Sean became estate co-administrators to distribute assets fairly. Public estimates placed DMX’s accrued royalties at USD 17.7 million, but existing debts—including child support arrears, federal and state taxes—have apparently eclipsed that sum, leaving heirs arguing over the estate’s net value.

Net Worth and Financial Standing
As of mid-2025, impartial financial analysts estimate Tacoma Simmons’s net worth at $100,000 from his music composition and store management earnings. His annual administrative pay at Guitar Centre provides a consistent base, although his streaming royalties are small, typical for independent composers. Occasional performance fees and licensing partnerships complement these streams, but unsubstantiated claims place his net worth closer to USD 1 million. These statistics presumably confuse predicted career growth with existing valuations.
| Financial Component | Estimated Value |
|---|---|
| Music Composition Income | USD 20,000 (2024–2025) |
| Guitar Center Salary | USD 50,000 annually |
| Streaming Royalties | USD 10,000 (2024–2025) |
| Additional Licensing Fees | USD 20,000 (estimated) |
| Total Net Worth | ~USD 100,000 |
