Former Ruff Ryders leader DMX’s representative has come forward to address a publicized arrest warrant.
According to X’s rep, the warrant stems from a simple mix-up.
An arrest warrant was issued for DMX after he missed a court hearing on Monday to address child support issues with his ex-wife Tashera Simmons and their 4 kids. A rep for DMX tells us they believed they got the court date changed in advance because they had an event booked. X performed “DMX-Mas” in Las Vegas on Sunday night. (TMZ)
In October, cops arrested X for a child support-related matter.
A warrant was issued for Simmons’ arrest on a contempt of court charge in July, according to the Westchester County Clerk’s office. County police confirmed they and Yonkers police arrested him at 10 a.m. Tuesday morning at a Yonkers residence. (USA Today)
During his court appearance after the arrest, X’s attorney convinced Judge Paul Marx to grant him a release so he could generate funds toward the child support.
Marx was clearly torn, pausing for several moments before saying that he would “take a chance” and release the rapper without bail. DMX’s next scheduled court appearance was set for Nov. 18. “I expect to see you back here on Nov. 18 to resolve this case in its totality,” Marx said. If not, he warned, “things will not go well for you.” (USA Today)
With plans to release new music in the near future, X recently acknowledged how much of a presence he still has in the public eye.
“Is there a difference between being misunderstood and people not knowing,” X asked in an interview. “They won’t know unless they see me. … I’ma make it, even though it looks rough. I get a little scared and sometimes a little shook up, when it gets like that, I get on my knees and look up. I jay walk and it’s in the news, you’re talking international news. That’s a good thing, it means people still care. There’s always going to be problems, you’re always going to have problems. That’s the only thing I hate about being famous, you never know who really loves you because everybody’s there – if there love never gets tested, who knows?” (ABC 7)
Damnit X I’m losing all kinds of patience with you, you’re quickly becoming the Lauren hill of rap but with a bigger catalogue! Quit bitching, whining, complaining and getting caught up in dumbness and just get busy, that’s what got you here in the first place. Damn, nuff said!!!!!
