It’s been a bit over a week since the death of rapper DMX, his passing has shaken the rap industry at its core. Tributes have poured in from his peers, fans, and industry insiders alike. On Monday, his fiancee Desiree Lindstrom shared a moving message touching on her relationship with DMX.

Thank you for us,” Lindstrom wrote in a post she shared on Instagram featuring a photo of them both. “Thank you for Exodus,” Exodus is the couple’s four-year-old son. She closed the caption with: “Thank you God for Earl Simmons...forever X.”

Days after her fiancée passed, Lindstrom received a tattoo in memory of the beloved rapper. The ink featured a call-out to his 2006 song “Dog Love.” Krystal Kills was responsible for the tribute tattoo which consisted of an “X” and the name of the aforementioned track.
