According to Union, while filming the 2003 film 'Cradle 2 The Grave' -- she claimed there was a dog biting incident with the staff of the production -- so she was sent to get DMX during the shoots.

But, instead of coming out, DMX would invite her in for a drink while he enjoyed his favorite 80's sitcom -- Golden Girls! At the time, Union said X would "laugh hysterically" at the show while enjoying a few beers. Best. Story. Ever.

As we reported, DMX passed away earlier this week, just days after suffering a massive heart attack and drug overdose.
