Declyn Wallace Lauper Thornton, better known as Dex Lauper, is not just the son of the iconic singer Cyndi Lauper, but also a talented musician in his own right. Following in his mother’s musical footsteps, Declyn has established himself as a rapper with music available on SoundCloud. His tracks “Wavy”, “Special Vibe”, “LOYALTY”, and “Moods” have garnered attention in the music industry, and he has even collaborated with artists like G-Eazy. Despite being described as having a more “underground” sound, Declyn has proven himself to be a terrific artist in his own right.
Unfortunately, Declyn’s musical success has been overshadowed by his run-ins with the law. In July 2022, he was arrested in New York for allegedly being in possession of a stolen vehicle. This incident led to felony charges of unauthorized use of a vehicle, which ultimately resulted in Declyn pleading guilty in Manhattan Criminal Court. As part of his punishment, he was ordered to complete five days of private community service and to stay out of trouble for one year. However, his legal troubles did not end there. In February 2024, Declyn was arrested again, this time in connection with criminal possession of a weapon and drugs. The circumstances surrounding his arrest were particularly alarming, as he was found in possession of a loaded gun following a shooting in Harlem, New York. While the specifics of his involvement in the incident remain unclear, Declyn’s continued entanglement with the law has undoubtedly cast a shadow over his budding music career.
Despite the challenges he has faced, Declyn has had the unwavering support of his mother, Cyndi Lauper. As a devoted parent, Cyndi has always strived to provide the best for her son, even as her own career demanded much of her time and attention. While she admits to missing out on certain aspects of Declyn’s upbringing due to her touring schedule, Cyndi has made a concerted effort to be there for her son in whatever way she can. Whether it’s taking him on tour with her or ensuring that he has the space to pursue his own passions, Cyndi has remained a constant source of support and love for Declyn.
As Declyn continues to navigate the complexities of his personal and professional life, one thing remains certain: his talent and potential as an artist are undeniable. Despite the setbacks and challenges he has encountered, Declyn has shown resilience and determination in pursuing his musical aspirations. With the guidance and encouragement of his mother, Cyndi Lauper, by his side, there is hope that Declyn will overcome his past struggles and emerge stronger on the other side. As he forges ahead on his musical journey, Declyn’s story serves as a reminder of the complexities that come with fame, talent, and personal growth.
