DMX introduced the world to his ‘newest baby’ Aaliyah while on on BET’s 106 and Park yesterday. The rapper revealed that he named his newborn daughter after the late singer Aaliyah, who died 10 years ago on August 25th.

“This is Aaliyah,” he said to the audience.  “She is my newest baby. I named her after [singer] Aaliyah because that’s how special she was to me. ”

“Know that you are named after an angel,” the rapper added while looking at his daughter.

      I thought they had separated as well but the poem he wrote for Aaliyah last week, he ended it with “from me and my wife Tashera”.

    Awww that’s so sweet! He and Aaliyah were good friends so that was a nice gesture on his part. He and he wife aren’t together anymore and 4 of the 10 kids are by her the rest are by different women. Can’t believe it’s been 10 years….Detroit misses you Baby Girl R.I.P!!!

    10 children DMX? Really? You haven’t stayed out of trouble long enough to produce an album but you have a newborn? Alright then.

    He & Aaliyah did have a special bond & it was nice of him to name his daughter after her. Hard to make out the picture.

    I loved me some DMX & ruff riders..so sad a great rapper turned out like this.

    Saw this yeaterday..glad to see DMX is doing better. His daughter Aaliyah is pretty.

    I loved Aaliyah so much and used to try to dress and wear my hair like hers..she was a true artist and very talented.

    When I have a daughter I plan on naming her Skylar Aaliyah. :)

      Skylar Aaliyah is a pretty name. I always said if I had a daughter, I’d name her Aaliyah, but I just have a son. The year Aaliyah died, there was a surge of babies named Aaliyah. I thought that was nice.

        Thanks Sherley! I know there were alot of babies named Aaliyah after her death that is why I am chosing to use her name as a middle name. I really miss her alot.

        What are your thoughts on the boy name “Noah Christopher”? If I have a boy, I want to name him Noah bc its a biblical name and Christopher is a family member name.

    They let Earl out to make clips for 106 & Park?? This why he never learns his lesson. He still thinks he’s relevant.

      Me too and I have her pics saved on my laptop. I also use her pic as my pic on my Youtube account. It was something “special” about Aaliyah. I miss her badly and her dance moves, fashion and hair styles. Her videos were always unique and the best. :)

      Earl had problems long before Aaliyah died. Long before he was rapping in the hood under “DMX”, long before he made it in the industry. The issues he faces now began in childhood, continued into adulthood, was masked & hidden by the bright lights and fame once he got famous, & treated momentarily on and off illegal drugs since he was a young teen. His “Behind the Music” is one of the saddest I have ever seen. I cried from beginning to end.

        Sweet of him to name his daughter after his friend. He seemed to really care for her. A lot of folks did. Aaliyah seemed like a real sweet person.

    WOW. Out of the troubles he’s been in, no one ever mentioned, he was about to be a father. Great for him though. I’ve always like DMX.
