Lindstrom and DMX, born Earl Simmons, met 10 years ago in Arizona. She told Evers that toward the end of his life, he was trying to mend relationships. “I really feel like he was coming to a peace. He was trying to fix everything, I know he reached out to certain people that I know he had issues with.”
