Hurd proudly calls Earl Simmons, who goes by the moniker DMX and his then-wife Tashera Simmons as her godparents. Hurd’s family accepted the decision, and she bonded with the Simmons family and lovingly referred to DMX as “pops.” Hurd and DMX met while filming the 2003 action-packed movie Cradle 2 the Grave.
Hurd starred as Vanessa Fait, daughter of Anthony Fait, played by DMX.
In December 2019, Paige took to Instagram to share a special father’s day gift that she got for the rapper. She had tattooed the lyrics of her favorite song DMX wrote and got it tattooed in his own handwriting.
On April this year, when DMX passed away because of a heart attack triggered by a drug overdose, the actress penned a heartfelt tribute to the late hip-hop icon on Instagram. Hurd posted a picture of them dancing that was taken one week before DMX’s hospitalization.
You are a part of my world, and my heart aches terribly these days and will never stop.
