For the second time in less than a month, Hip Hop star DMX was arrested yesterday evening (August 20) in the state of South Carolina. The Yonkers, New York native was reportedly riding passenger in a Ford F-350 pick-up truck when the vehicle is said to have made an illegal lane-change. Subsequently stopped by police, TMZ.com reports that DMX and the driver were cited for four containers of marijuana, found in the car. The rapper was arrested when it was discovered that he had an outstanding warrant for previously driving without a license.
In video obtained by TMZ (posted below), DMX is seen shouting, “This ain’t no normal traffic stop—18 cops, 5 cars, get the fuck outta here, man.”
The longterm member of the Ruff Ryders also stressed that the initial u-turn was not a traffic violation. “It was legal … they got nothing.”
DMX was subsequently taken to a nearby jail.
In a follow-up report, TMZ was told by authorities that the former Def Jam Records superstar was accused of being “very aggressive with his words and was making multiple idle threats.”
It has been reported that DMX has been released from jail this morning (August 21). However, TMZ alleges that he will be held on house arrest. DMX has residences in New York and South Carolina, but this has been the second time since July that he was arrested in South Carolina.
Domenick Nati, DMX’s publicist in recent years, released a statement conflicting with TMZ’s sources. “DMX was driving in the passenger seat when the vehicle he was in was pulled over last night. Although officers pulled them over for a minor traffic violation, DMX was asked to step outside so they can search the vehicle. Officers then claimed that they found bags of marijuana in the floorboard and arrested X. No drugs were found on DMX or the other passengers and the alleged bags of marijuana were never shown to DMX or the other passengers.” Nati however did confirm DMX’s arrested and subsequent release, “DMX was released this morning at approximately 11am EST and is back at his home in South Carolina.”

Does the Guinness Book of World Records keep track of arrests? Because this ass clown has got to be in the top 10 of all-time!
I have no sympathy for this pea-brain cracked out nigga!
SOMEBODY KINDLY TELL THIS OLD FART TO HANG UP THE MIC! HE’S GOING THRU BANKRUPTCY, SMOKING CRACK, AN GETTING ARRESTED. DORK MAN X NEEDS TO BE PUT DOWN LIKE THE DOG THAT HE IS. GRRRRR
who said anything about crack? all he got caught with was a little weed
just before I saw the check which said $9091, I have faith …that…my mother in law was like realy receiving money in their spare time on their computer.. there aunts neighbour has done this 4 only about thirteen months and a short time ago cleared the morgage on there cottage and purchased a great new Ford. we looked here, ——> WEP6(dot)COM
he needs to get out of these racist southern states and go lay low somewhere else
Yeah… Much safer in Northern states where stop-n-frisk was created.
this is getting ridiculous
its a conspiracy! they out to get x in the south!
fuck them goddamned cops
Yeah so WE the illuminati just want to bring him down. In every way we can. Because we couldn’t control him. We are left with these few options to ruin his career and reputation even more. He’s legitimate as a “nigga” that we fear his influence on other OG’s and the America that you’ve come to love and know of today. (:
stay home dmx you idiot.
or kill yourself.
YOU’RE FUCKING STUPID…YOU THINK CALLING SOMEONE AN IDIOT, OR TELLING SOMEONE TO KILL HIS/HERSELF MAKES YOU ANY BETTER OR SMARTER OF A PERSON…GET REAL.
Yeah fuck bag. At least DMX is a musical legend. What the fuck did U ever do besides molest your sister?
Dude basically got arrested because he couldn’t keep his mouth shut. X kept talking shit until he was placed under arrest. I can picture it in my mind… Cops talking to the drive, not even looking at X, meanwhile X keeps interrupting the cop, making remarks, slips up and makes a threat, back-ups called, X goes to jail. Sounds like what you’d expect from X.
yeah hes a heat bag all right! if i was with him i would have been pissed!!!!
Dmx is such a loser
your a loser
this chick filming sold him out by selling the video to TMZ
hopefully she bought him a couple forties and a few rocks
What happened X you were so great man….shit!!!! U are too far goooooooone!!!!!
swallowed the crack n turned a felony to a misdemeanour X aint new to this he need to get a bicycle or sumthin tho
maybe a segway! i could see dmx rollin thru on a segway with rims
Illegal lane change is the most bullshit infraction ever. That’s just a cops excuse to pull you over. If he lives there he should know SC is one big ass speedtrap so you gotta be on point driving there.
all you bitches here talking bullshit bout dmx fuck you all. respect dmx
Ummm no. No 1 should respect junkies
this is exactly this kind of comment like yours that makes dmx continuing on his bullshit
cause everytime he fucked up with his life some bitch ass niggaz like you scream “respect dmx”
DMX made 5 #1 triple platinum albums.
X would lyrically murder 2pac. Oh yeah….. and guess who’s still livin today. At least X was smart enough not to get himself shot.
We fucked DMX, we admit it… we did it, and we will continuously fuck his life.
i don’t know what’s crazier, that he was arrested again, or that he really put on that shirt he’s wearing in that mugshot? lol
I need crack
Exposed the illuminati career tarnished like everyone else, X is real so was 2pac #killuminati
This is what happens when you go against higher powers. I bet in a couple years he dies of an overdose. When you go against certain higher powered individuals they will stop at nothing to bring you down, no matter how long it takes.
ja rule would smack this lil junkie up if he see him
Ja’s a bitch I was in the pen wit him he ain’t gunna smack no one. The Boyz got no ball or heart he got put on the inside n didn’t say or d shit, he was the bosses bitch.
The mans to far gone, prey for the man.
Dark Man has become a target man.
i agree with most of the posts here. X, stay the fuck home and do your drugs. don’t be anywhere near a whip when you high. they looking for you in NC. if you insist on staying there, then lay the fuck low. get other niggaz to run to the store for you. and if you need to get out, just chill in the back seat, and shut the fuck up. no matter what happens…..
I dont wish prison on no one but man Im making an exception. Give this nigga life
Dmx is one of the smartest rappers you can ever see. He stands next to Immortal Techniques intellegience.
dmx is scared of getting bodied by drake which is why he commits crimes so he can hide in jail where he will be safe from drake. If drake ever saw dmx face to face he would knock his teeth out and put him in the dirt.
this nigga is hilarious! drake couldn’t hurt a fly himself he’d have his 300 pound bodyguard do that shit
dmx has gotta have a cop following him 24/7
year 2013 and the bitch got a phone like 1995.cant see anything..
shiiiiiii, I thought it was dave chapelle in the pic for a minute.
“Illuminati want my mind soul and my body, secret society tryna keep an eye on me”
