Tashera Simmons, ex-wife to rapper DMX appeared on Power 105.1 The Breakfast Club morning show to promote her newly released book entitled “You Think You Know, But You Have No Idea” . Tashera reminds readers that the auto-biography book is far from a tell-all book about her 25 year relationship with DMX, yet an inside look at her life’s journey from childhood to adulthood.
Like many of us who watched DMX’s rise and fall from fame [due to his excessive abuse with drugs] along with the public infidelities, and fathering numerous children outside of his marriage, Tashera explains why she endured the “domestic abuse” for more than two decades and what made her finally ‘pull the plug‘ on her marriage.While readers expect for Tashera to bash her first love, she opted for the classier route instead. Tashera explains that the book was more of a therapeutic process for her to finally move on and accept “all the things” that she ‘allowed‘ and ‘endured‘ in her relationship.
In the interview, Tashera says that during her relationship with X ,the couple made up to forty million dollars. X was raking in 200,000 a show, along with his multi-million dollar revenue from his movie deals with Warner Bros, coupled with other major endorsements. This was a huge increase from where the couple had come from when the two first met when Tashera was just eleven years old.
While they finally saw their dreams come true, the money and fame could not remove the “demons” that perpetually haunted DMX, and while Tashera try to shield that ‘secret‘ from the public, their accountant was robbing their bank account and they found themselves right back at the bottom again.
Take a listen to Tashera’s interview as she explains just a few of things that she went through in her life including learning at a young age that her mother ran off with her grandfather and the two later had a child.
