It seems that the rapper has had a taste for some celebrity death match lately. DMX was supposed to fight the CEO of Power Moves Entertainment, Eric Martinez, and he wanted to fix the fight but the event’s promoter refused. This is how DMX’s contract for the fight was written: “Event Promoter and Management agree that (DMX) is scheduled to win Boxing Challenge… All parties agree this event has been scheduled to occur only in fun and that the artist involved is not a professional boxer.” After all that vacation time in the slammer DMX has not become a professional boxer? Or at least a semi-pro? Tisk, tisk, tisk, what an embarrassing way to let everybody find that out.
The rapper was asked to perform at a charity event in Colorado Springs recently. Apparently, he was 90 minutes late and when he arrived the guards refused to let him it. DMX, being the wise and noble man that he is, eventually picked a fight with them and the charity participants rooted for him. Moreover, DMX actually won and did get in, but wasn’t able to dazzle anyone with his musical abilities since all of the equipment was turned off, so he was simply asked to leave. Man, this dude must be trying to get around to be as famous as Kanye West for these incidents! He definitely started out right, all he has to do now is crash the MTV Europe Music Awards and he’s in business. Kanye West might have actually started a new trend with this crashing of events.
DMX was released from the Maricopa County Jail in Arizona last week. I’m quite surprised that I haven’t learned of any arrests of him for anything yet. And that’s a big emphasis on the “yet”. The legally challenged rapper was released from his second home early in the morning after serving just 90 days in jail. That’s the minimum sentence for pleading guilty to the following: cruelty to animals, possession of narcotic drugs, theft and possession of marijuana. Who wants to take a bet against me that he will find himself back in jail a couple more times before the year ends?
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.”
DMX is in trouble once again but the good news is that he’s not in trouble with the law. The bad news though is that his personal life is in the crapper. The former hit maker’s home is currently in foreclosure, up for sale and in shambles. That’s ok though considering that he doesn’t need the place since he’s going to be calling jail home for a good while. I doubt that he’s going to get money off of it though considering that he owes a lot anyway. Who would want to buy his house anyway? Unless you’re desperate, I wouldn’t hold my breath.
DMX finds himself in trouble again as a warrant is out for his arrest. The rapper just failed to appear in a court in Arizona to face drug, identity theft and animal cruelty charges. The cash bond of $120,000 is even harsher than the charges. It would have been cheaper to just show up in court. It is rumored that DMX is actually in rehab but that’s still no excuse for the no show. If he doesn’t pay up the 120 grand, he’s going to jail for sure. I think he should stay there actually. It would be less work for everyone involved.
You know those bargain bins that offer discounts because the packages have already been opened? Would you ever think that you’d see a celebrity digging for duds there? That’s were DMX was caught doing so this past weekend. Some shocked sources at the going out of business sale at the Lakewood, California Mervyns say that they saw the serially arrested rapper loading up on tube socks and gangsta tanks from the 79 cent pre-opened package rack. Why is he shopping discount? I know he has some money. He got paid for actually performing at an event on Friday on the Queen Mary. Maybe he’s saving cash to pay for legal fees.
If you’re all confused about DMX’s arrests, don’t worry. You’re not alone in the world. Even the judicial system is having the same problem. The rapper was picked up in Florida over a bench warrant issued against him in Arizona. Florida’s go-to lawyer Brad Cohen tried to bail him out but couldn’t because Arizona courts list him as having a no bail hold. DMX was listed as having a $25,000 cash bond but it got changed somewhere along his plethora of arrests. The rapper now has to stay a Florida jail until his October 2 court hearing for a possession charge he has in Miami.
Considering who he has for a boss, should we even be surprised that Yung Berg has been arrested? The rapper who was signed on to DMX’s label was busted last week in New York City after police investigated a complaint by a limo driver. Sources say a limo driver reported a dispute with five passengers, and when police investigated the complaint, they busted Berg and his buddies on a bundle of charges. The rapper whose real name is Christian Ward was charged with criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of marijuana and menacing. DMX must be so proud of him.
You might have heard of this before – DMX was busted again this weekend at his home in Arizona. Sheriffs even say that the rapper barricaded himself in his bedroom when police arrived to get him. He was arrested in his home in Cave Creek on 7 misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty and 4 felony drug possession charges. During a search of the home, cops found a number or weapons and drugs as well as 5 pit bull puppies. According to Sheriff Arpaio, DMX attempted to lock himself in his bedroom at the time of the search warrant but eventually came out, made no further resistance and was booked.
Times are getting tough for some of the music industry’s once hottest rappers. DMX has hit the college campus tour. The rapper performed at Indiana University last Wednesday night. Tickets were purchased for $25 through Lambda Chi Alpha. The concert was supposed to begin at 8:30PM but didn’t start until an hour later because DMX arrived late. Unfortunately for concertgoers, the concert shut down after just 3 songs because the organization told the University that the noise would be over by 9:30PM. When music was heard past that, police arrived to shut down the scene. That’s when things got bad. Profanities were yelled, students got maced – it just got really rowdy.
Where’s the humanity?! Authorities investigating animal cruelty accusations on rapper DMX have revealed their gruesome findings.
The investigation is from an August 24 raid of the rapper’s Phoenix, Arizona home where police were investigating reports of animal neglect. Authorities were able to seize 12 pit bulls, weapons and a quarter ounce of marijuana.
Forensic reports have recently come out that the condition of animal remains found on the property were “significantly decomposed, the head and rear quarters and legs had a white trash bag around them; the body was wrapped in a dirt-stained beige fitted sheet and inside a clear plastic bag; all placed inside a white body bag”. It was determinable evidence of injury.
No charges have been filed against DMX still as the matter is still under investigation.
