READ As College Decisions Near, Focus Less on ‘Prestige’ and More on the School That Feels Right For You In an interview with The Breakfast Club, XXL Editor-In-Chief Vanessa Satten explained that Dex was left off because the staff felt the video would tarnish his career. Although I’m happy that they’ve gotten back together, the video still played a part in him not making the XXL Freshman Cover - but not for the reason you may think. “If you look at the video, I wasn’t really like beating her,” Dex said, emphasizing that he didn’t leave her “face all bloody.” Dex went on explaining, “Long story short, I ain’t go to jail, she ain’t go to the hospital.” But, in the same interview, Dex went on to admit that he made a mistake and promised not to hit women “no more.”ĭex also revealed that he and the woman pictured in the video have since reconciled and now have a baby together. In January, Dexter told his side of the story in an interview with Adam22 of No Jumper but didn’t validate his case at all. The video went viral, and Dex attempted to justify it with a sorry excuse accusing her of cheating on him. In September 2016, home surveillance video footage was released by rapper Tish Hyman of Dex chasing his girlfriend down the hall, cornering her and then repeatedly swinging on her. But I thought I understood why he was left off: because Famous Dex was caught on video assaulting his girlfriend.
I was a little surprised too, being a listener and borderline fan. However, when the Freshman cover was announced in June, fans were outraged that Dexter was left off of it.
He’s primarily known for his fan base on Soundcloud and Youtube, and hit songs such as “Glock,” “I Get the Drip From My Walk,” and “Let’s Do It.” He was considered to be a shoo-in for the 2017 XXL Magazine Freshman Cover, a yearly edition of XXL magazine recognizing artists who the editors think led music in the year and who they think will lead into the next year. Famous Dex, born Dexter Gore, is a 23-year-old rapper from Chicago, Illinois.
