DMX Arrested For Driving Without A License

    DMX can’t seem to keep himself out of trouble.

    According to FOX Carolina 21, Dark Man X was arrested for driving without a license in Spartanburg, South Carolina earlier this morning. He claims that he left a local gas station and an officer followed him a short distance, only to pull him over and arrest him. He was booked into the Spartanburg County jail around 2 a.m.

    “When I could have just paid the money right there on the spot,” said DMX, who had his five-month-old daughter in the car at the time of arrest. “Basically it was just five hours wasted for nothing. I don’t have a court date or a court appearance.”

    At 6 a.m., the gruff rapper went before a judge and was released shortly after. Deputies say that he had been issued tickets in Greer and Duncan, accused of driving without a license and only had a state ID card on him. After pulling him over, deputies claimed that the car was turned over to a different licensed passenger who was in the car.

    In July 2011, DMX was released from prison after serving a seven-month bid for violating probation. A judge said that X, who at the time had been incarcerated 13 times, had “an undiagnosed mental condition” and possibly suffered from bi-polar disorder.

    Last May, X said that he wanted “less trouble” and was going to try to clean up his act. He released his comeback album Undisputed in September, though it only moved 17,000 copies in its first week. The project is the point of a multi-million dollar legal war between Seven Arts Entertainment and In The Zone Entertainment over distribution rights to the LP.

    1. LMAOOOOO…WHO DIS NICCA? LOOKS LIKE A BUM!

      He ain’t got no HITS. DRAKE COME HOLLA AT YA BOI, I GOT BEATZ.

      1. Homie, its obvious you stay losing. Stupid comment, and advertising for your wack beats. Don’t type anything else, ever again.

    2. that sucks, he was doing pretty good too! went a year a and half without getting arrested now they had to go fuck up his streak

    3. Why does this guy do this crap. i saw an interview where he said he had a deal thats why he does this but he really wants to stop. This guy needs therapy

    4. The same people that are/are going to be talking shit about him, are the same people that called him a legend when he was dissing Drake.

    5. Negro Stay losing and No I never called him a legend. He’s a loser that can never get right. Get a damn License! Take Care of your business!

    6. HOw many times can a nigga mess up and keep takin Ls. Big fan of the Dark man but this nigga need to stay away from the crack pipe and the bottle.

      Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      1. Rick Ross biggest fan wants to talk about someone takin L’s! How ironic is that!

        The man was driving without a license! Big fuckin deal. He wasn’t high or drunk and they let him go with a ticket. It had been over a year and a half since his last arrest.

        Not everyone has friends in law enforcement like Officer Ricky Rozay the Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      1. another idiot on the internet who takes the side of law enforcement over the culture that brought him to this site in the first place… Why aren’t you on the Knights of Columbus Website or the PBA site Why are you on Hip Hop DX????

      2. and your stupid or something? law says clearly for everyone.. no license you get arrested and fined.. it doesnt matter what the culture is you moron its a law for EVERY culture in america.. and most of the world whos fortunate enough to have cars in their countries.

        im on DX bec i love hiphop but when ur a fuckin moron whos rich as hell has all the time in the world to go pay what 50 dollars for a license!? instead he doesnt, pays hundreds everytime he gets arrested and in turn leaves his kid whose lucky someone else was there to take her or thhe 5 yr old woulda rode in the police car to the station to..

        take ur ignorant comments else bitchmade

      3. 5 months old, even worse atleast a 5 yr old could help herself talk, eat herself w.e 5 month old cant do SHIT herself..thanks for catchin my error as well helpin out my arguement :)..

      4. what about the law of racial remarks on the internet, because you broke that one…shouldn’t they come and prosecute you?

      5. ACTUALLY, to all you ignorant fucks…you only need a driver’s license if you’re making money to drive. Get it? Every person in the world has a right to movement (commonly known as right-to-travel), i.e. freedom. Nobody can stop you from doing the things you need to to survive, provide for your family, etc. Its ILLEGAL to fine/ jail somebody for not having a license.

        But u mainstream niggas don’t know shit about shit. In all facets of your life, this is merely an example.

      1. OF COURSE DUDE HE’S A LEGEND, X IS THE TRUTH!!!….Oh wait, he stopped dissing Drake, didn’t he? Well, in that case then…no…no we don’t take him seriously anymore.

    7. DMX. NAS and Kaze performing at DPAC in Durham, NC with 9th Wonder

      DMX may have a lot of run ins with the law but he is a legend and is also the only musician (in any genre) to debut #1 on Billboard for the first 5 albums of their career.

    8. I used to treat this nigga like a legend until that wack ass album he released in 2006. After that he’s always been garbage to me.

    9. Dude actually stayed out of trouble longer than I expected! Its definitely over for X though. I saw a recent interview and he had a lot of little nervous moves, could not stay still and was licking his lips a lot. With no career to fall back on, how does a person like X make it?

      1. he can always tour and perform his old material. even if its in small venues he can still get a few grand for a show guaranteed

    10. Gotta hand it to X. This is the least twitchy and most coherent I’ve seen/heard him in quite a while. (No sarcasm here. Honestly cool to see that. Kept his comments to the point, and that’s it. Props.)

    11. I used to defend DMX. But I’m tired of his petty bullshit. No new music. The only time we hear about him is when the police are involved. Pathetic.

    12. Greer, Spartansburg, Mauldin all those are guaranteed speedtraps along i85 even if not speeding they look for shit. DMX got caught up in a town where police have very little crime and revenue what did he expect? He’s about to have his own mugshot gallery.

    13. just let the man be… he wasnt hurting anyone
      oh btw, that is the best X has sounded in a minute.. no joke, he sounds alot better than normal

    14. “A judge said that X, who at the time had been incarcerated 13 times, had “an undiagnosed mental condition” and possibly suffered from bi-polar disorder.”

      This is what is fucked up. Even to a judge is a clear that the cause of DMX’s criminal career goes deeper than the surface. The guy needs psychiatric help, not jail sentences. All they are doing is continuing to hurt a man who is clearly already hurting.
