As if being stuck in jail isn’t bad enough, rapper DMX has gotten more bad news. He has just been ordered to pay nearly a quarter of a million dollars to a man he assaulted at JFK airport. 5 years ago, Port Authority officers arrested the rapper for posing as an FBI agent and using a fake police siren to pull Sergei Priporin and his family over at the airport. DMX, who claims that he pulled them over for making him late for a flight, was in possession of crack, Oxycodone, Diazepam and a billy club at the time. The plaintiffs, who originally sued for $4 million each, are getting a total of $240,000 in damages. DMX isn’t letting go of his pride though as he spoke through his lawyer saying “Mr. Simmons still feels justified in pulling them over when they didn’t get out of his way… he’s not apologizing for that. He still believes the gentleman driving should have gotten out of his way. At the same time, he plead guilty to the charges and therefore paid for his behavior.”
