DMX‘s son has hopped on a TikTok trend to show his love for his dad, and Fat Joe and Cam’ron are here for it.
Exodus Simmons, the 7-year-old child of the late Ruff Ryder and Desiree Lindstrom, used the viral “of course” video template to comically demonstrate his similarities to his father.

The “of course” trend consists of a person filling in the blanks of the phrase, “I’m a ____, of course I _____.”
Lindstrom shared her son’s “of course” video on her TikTok page, captioning it: “Exodus said mommy let me hop on this trend.”

“I’m DMX’s son, of course I wear Timberlands,” Simmons begins. He runs through a number of X-related traits, including being musical, reading the Bible, writing lyrics and even growling.

An Instagram repost of the video by The Hip Hop Wolf garnered praise from some of DMX’s rap peers, with Cam’ron and Fat Joe both responding with fire emojis.
“I’m a Dmx fan. Of course I’m going to try not to cry to this,” another commenter wrote, while another said: “This right here wins the internet for me. DMX rest in peace and we got lil dark man x repping the legacy.”

The “of course” video isn’t young Exodus’ first trip into the spotlight.
Late last year, he came to the world’s attention when Lindstrom posted a heart-melting video on Instagram on what would’ve been DMX’s 53rd birthday of Exodus playing “X Gon’ Give It To Ya” on the keys.
“Happy Birthday Earl! Thinking of you always, but especially today. You was New York!!! Exodus tribute to you! (X gonna give it to ya) We love you baby! #ForeverX,” she wrote in the caption.
Exodus — who is the youngest of DMX’s 15 children — adorably stated in the clip: “I’m gonna play my daddy’s song, ‘X Gon’ Give It To Ya.’”
