Did DMX know that the Ruff Ryders name was already used by Teddy Roosevelt?

Was it a reference, or just a coincidence?

DMX had to spell it that way because Roosevelt's heirs threatened to sue.

DMX was a huge teddy roosevelt fan and famously had an original derujinsky bust of him displayed prominently at his main studio

it's a case of nick land style backward causation where teddy roosevelt named his band after the rap crew

Understandable.

Especially with the song "What these Bitches want from a Nigga"

“Aight, so shit — people always ask me where Ruff Ryders came from, like it was some big industry bullshit. Nah. That name been in me since I was a lil’ g. Real talk, it started on this elementary school trip in Manhattan. They took us to the Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace — you know, the kinda trip where the teachers think you gon’ learn about presidents and be inspired to do your homework or fuck else.

But we walk in there, and they show us this shirt Roosevelt got shot in back in 1912. And I’m lookin’ at it like… hold up. This man got hit, bullet in him, and he still finished his speech. Didn’t cry, didn’t fold, didn’t run like a bitch. He just kept goin’. I’m a kid, but even then I knew — that’s a different level of heart.

So I’m standin’ there thinkin’, ‘Yo… that’s gangsta.’ Like refusing to bow down to any bullshit. That energy stuck with me. That’s the spirit I wanted around me.

That’s the spirit I wanted my people to move with.

So years later, when it came time to name the crew, the label, the movement — Ruff Ryders made sense. ‘Cause we wasn’t fucking smooth ridin’, we wasn’t takin’ the easy shir. We was ridin’ through the rough parts of life, the pain, the struggle, the fight… and still standin’ tall.
