DMX detailed the reconciliation with his mother in his final interview for TV One’s Uncensored series.
It’s well-documented that DMX was subjected to traumatic abuse by his mother during his childhood. In various interviews, DMX has revealed that his beatings would result in cuts and bruises on his face, including one incident where his mother knocked two of his teeth out with a broom. To escape the abuse, the late rapper would wander the streets and befriend stray dogs before his mother sent him away to a group home.
In his final interview, DMX spoke on healing his relationship with his mother after they reunited on a 2012 episode of Couples Therapy after years of estrangement. X explained that while he was on the show with his ex-wife, he disclosed his traumatic childhood to the counselor. Since reuniting with his mother, DMX stated in subsequent interviews that he loved his mother despite the abuse and he had forgiven her.
"It wasn't a hurt cry. It was like yes, this is what I need." DMX reveals how a surprise visit from his mom in therapy helped them heal their relationship. Watch his final interview Sunday, May 16 at 8P/7C only on TV One #DMXUncensored pic.twitter.com/KxUAC1azNZ
