Ruff Ryders leader DMX reportedly found himself in handcuffs heading into the weekend over multiple arrest warrants in New York City.

According to reports, the bust went down Friday (June 26) night.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, the rapper was en route to Radio City Music Hall where he was scheduled to perform when the New York City Sheriff’s deputies nabbed him for unpaid child support. The law we know, he was being held in the back of a patrol car. As for the concert, Masters of Ceremony, the show went on without him. It had plenty of other old school rappers to entertain the crowd. (TMZ)

Additional reports claim X had an arrest warrant out for him over bail jumping.

Another arrest warrant was issued by the city of White Plains for bail jumping; the city of Yonkers is accusing the rapper of being an aggravated unlicensed motor vehicle operator; and a criminal complaint out of Newark, N.J., names DMX as a suspect in an April 5 robbery at a gas station in that city, the sheriff’s office said.

Back in April, X discussed making headlines for allegedly robbing a 21-year-old man in New Jersey.

“I have no idea what it’s about. It comes with the territory,” X explained. “It’s not the first thing I’ve been accused of that I didn’t do. If I did it, you’d have known about it, but I wouldn’t be able to travel as freely as I do, if I did it. My lawyer assured me there’s nothing to worry about. … We stopped at a gas station. I don’t recall any incident happening. I make way more than that during a show, so why would I want that kind of trouble for myself?” (TMZ)

X’s lawyer previously said the robbery accusations came after a chance encounter at a gas station.

Meanwhile, attorney Murray Richman calls the claim “completely absurd,” telling E! News today that “anyone who believes it makes no sense at all.” “He was leaving a show, a very successful show, and he stopped for gas,” Richman said. “Four young men approached him for a photo. They took photos and they offered [DMX] drugs. He said no and told them to go…They had an argument and next thing you know, they are accusing him of robbery. Just nonsense.” (E! Online)

  1. Damn he’s truly a classic and these NEW so called REAL rappers would get fucked up and chin checked if they ever think they’re more authentic, real, and a better trend setter than DMX.
