DMX’s Fiancée Gets a Tribute Tattoo in Honor of the Late Rapper

DMX’s fiancée, Desireé Lindstrom, has inked a tattoo in honour of the rapper who died last week Friday.

In a tribute to the late "Ruff Ryders' Anthem" rapper, Lindstrom got the tattoo that reads "Dog Love," which is also the name of a song he released in 2006, with an "X" in the same font that the rapper used to stylize his name. 

Lindstrom who is also the mother of DMX’s 15th child, got the tattoo inked by famous New York tattoo artist, Krystal Kills of Black ink crew.

 "I feel honored to be able to do this memorial but also saddened," the tattoo artist shared on Sunday. "Your light was unmatchable. 🙏🏽 @desi123love I pray you find your way through these dark times, and remember the love you had for each other will forever be untethered. I'm glad I got to witness it." 

 Kills added, "The world lost an icon but also a great father. Praying for your family. REST IN POWER DMX. Thanks for inspiring us, and giving Yonkers a voice. 🕊🙏🏽 You moved the world and left your mark. 🙅🏽‍♀️ The city misses you. #doglove #dmx #ripdmx#ruffryders."

 Born Earl Simmons, the late rapper proposed to Lindstrom in August 2019 during their son’s third birthday party. 

 According to medical reports, the rapper’s death which occurred on April 9, 2021, was a result of a drug overdose that left him in a vegetative state for six days.
