Ruff Ryders legend DMX — real name Earl Simmons — will be on his way home soon. According to TMZ, his attorney Murray Richman reports the Hip Hop vet will be released from Gilmer Federal Correctional Institution on January 27.
Simmons’ plan is to reconnect with his 15 (yes, 15) children and dive back into his film and music career. He’s reportedly most anxious about seeing his two-year-old son Exodus Simmons who’s had serious health issues.
The “X Gon’ Give It To Ya” mastermind is completing a 12-month sentence for tax evasion. During his time behind bars, he’s been writing music and reportedly plans to drop an album upon his release. He’s also garnered interest from Hollywood producers who want to do a biopic on his life.
X pleaded guilty to tax evasion in November 2017 after being charged with 14 counts. He’d amassed roughly $1.7 million in unpaid taxes over the course of his career. As part of his sentence, he must pay $2.3 million in restitution to the IRS.
In November of last year, Richman said his client was owning up to relying on other people to handle his taxes.
“He’s of the opinion that he’s guilty because he didn’t properly supervise his own life,” Richman said. “He gave the responsibility of paying his taxes to others but he knows it was his responsibility. He’s owning up to it at this particular point.”
Substance abuse has plagued X for a good portion of his life. Following his arrest, he checked himself into a New England rehab.
Dark man X!! Hopefully hes got a clear mind and focused on being with family and following his passion! Rooting for you X
Hard to believe he can achieve anything anymore unless he gets his lips off that glass dick
Hahah the moment i clicked on this news piece i knew i was going to find a comment that mentions the glass dick! You never let me down 🙂
I learned from the best 🙂
Dmx will always be a legend, looking foreward to hearing this!
Real talk that I feel he will never loss it it was bedded in him COLDEST RAPPER IN HIS Time ???
His new album is titled “cant wait to go back to prison”
Lmao

Hype Williams , Irv Gotta ,and along with others should have that work for him !
Definitely Hype and Irv will do it…
I hope he gets the same feeling that everyone else is: he’s running out of chances and has to take advantage of the chances he’s getting.
x does not pull out he gives it to yah guess 1 show a month pays for 15 kids yikes 2 full basketball squads with 2 off the bench to feed
He needs to ride this wave, or else his time is over. American’s will eat up the rise of the underdog, fallen star media bullshit….but Swizz needs to dig in the crates and pull out some classics! I need a Preemo/X joint too!
I love X, one of my all time favorites… But let’s be real. He isn’t capable of recording a classic anymore. He hasn’t made an amazing song for over a decade.
With that said, I’m always exited to hear of some new DMX tracks, and will definitely tune in.
DMX needs to come back n bring that real raw fire back n bitchsmack these modern tatted face candyass rappers. The industry is whack right now. I hope Marshal will feature on there now that would be dope…
Get him in the studio with Storch, Havoc Swizz
WeLL DMX WILL ALWAYS BE ONE OF THE COLDEST RAPPER IN THE GAME FROM NEW ,YORK IF HE PUT GOD FIRST LIKE HE DID BEFORE HE WILL BE ON GET IN TOUCH WITH LOXS AND LET IT DO WHAT IT DO , BECAUSE YOU CAN NEVER LOSS WHAT YOU HAVE WHEN YOU ARE ONE OF THE GREATEST. RUFF RUFF IT’S DOG IN ME SIPPING FALLING CAN’T GET UP THE DOG, DEVIL AND ME ????
Biopic would be real.
Dmx was one of da realest to ever bless da mic. He came out at da right time. New York was hungry for another gangster rapper when biggie was killed. But ppl we’re scared to gave him a chance bc he was living that life frfr.
Fucking Dope head…..hope his old ass get it together
I can only hope X is going to give it to ya and shut up all that crap people talk everyone makes mistakes I had met him at a Walmart in Scottsdale Arizona he was buying car batteries for his car great person didn’t act like an asshole if you all were to meet him you would say the same thing. Hopefully with sheriff joe gone he will return to Arizona and stop in at the cave creek Walmart that would be the shit!!!!!
