Famous Dex added new breast cancer ribbon tattoos to his face, which he showed off on Instagram with the caption, "I’m Crazy So what “Mommas Boy” 5-22 Rockstar Lifestyle 4.5.19." Dex got his first pink ribbon tattoo on his face in 2016 to commemorate his mother after she lost her battle to breast cancer.
Dex spoke about losing his mother in a 2018 interview with DJ Smallz, where he stated, "My mom was always a happy person. When she was going through chemo, she told us to be strong and to be happy and when she do go, stay happy."
He also gave advice to people about losing a parent, "Just stay focused. Keep continuing doing what you gotta do. Because when you lose somebody so close to you people go crazy. They lose it. I had to go right. I had little sisters and brothers under me. I had to do what I had to do."
