DMX was arrested for contempt of court Tuesday (October 27) in Yonkers, New York, The Journal News reports.
Police say the rapper missed a child support payment of $10,ooo due to ex-wife Tashera Simmons, who DMX has four children with.
DMX was released without bail after explaining that he has to perform at upcoming shows and canceling them would be bad for his reputation.
“All I have is my name and my reputation,” he said to the judge, adding that performing is the “only way I can make a living.”
His next court appearance is November 18.

DMX was released from jail today (September 25), TMZ reports.
The rapper‘s lawyer filed a document asking the judge to throw out the initial case made against the rapper because the police did not follow proper procedures when he was arrested.
He was taken into custody in July for issues stemming from child support and given a six-month sentence.
The site says DMX has agreed to pay the mother in question $20,000.

Child support is a fucking rip off. Our black women are setting us up for failure.
It’s overblown. Kids don’t need thousands a month to live.
Its not just BLACK women, or woman in general for that matter. As men, we receive lessons learned everyday of the week and still don’t learn shit afterwards. Therein lies the real problem….
I was in court hold with him today . Very humble nice guy
Top ten all time hands down. He changed the game in a real way. Not like fake drake and the other radio stars. Hopefully we get the dmx swizzy album.
Word. Been looking forward to that one since there was talk about it earlier this year..
They might as well keep a cell open door open him cos he will be inside.
Fuck this crackhead.. I hear Earl suckin that glassdick again.. that glassdick stay on a nigga lips
man i’m still rooting for dark man x. I hope he gets it together.
women do abuse child support laws but expect us to just hop in bed with them… bitch if i bust in you there’s no child support coming your way. I’m keeping my kid
x got his weight up a lil bit jail. next time you see him its gon be all gone tho
yup… shit happens everytime
Shorty…. We only did it for that night!
X really seem like a cool dude 🙂
Remember: When you dont pay child support your kids will sell your platnium plaques on Ebay for Mac N Cheese money
my boy in NY told me he seen DMX somewhere in uptown ny and he was looking for percocets, he wanted like 500 of them. my boy and his friends told him they can get it so they came back with a bunch of random pills. Dmx gave them the money and left. HE GOT PLAYED lmao!!
Yea i didnt believe the story until he showed me a picture with DMX
Brothers never learn. Clean up your look, get an education and get with White women. They have a better work ethic, are better looking and better in bed. 99 times out of 100, your child will be categorized as Black anyway. Look at all the Black male celebs happy with their White women, who work and take care of their kids. Getting White women pregnant helps kill off the White race, without a messy genocide. Where’s the downside?
hahaha. you on some other sh!t niqqa…
nigga I hope u do realize that the black population in America is becoming more white, yeah? not the other way around. Besides, women are women regardless of race. Have the misfortune of having a kid with some cunt and they BLEED u dry for the next 18 years.
You do realize that the White population around the globe is shrinking, relative to people of color. That includes America. Who gives a damn if our skin tones are lighter, we still ain’t seen as White and never will be.
And this is why Micheal Jackson hated himself.
“Who gives a damn if our skin tones are lighter”……………………….you just shot yaself in the foot bro. We are getting more diluted and losing our pigment as every generation passes. I definitely give a damm about losing something that i consider part of my cultural identity. Indians will be the new “black” or some shit lmao, fuck that.
Man white women are respected all over the world! Hands down!love’em.
The original DeadBeat Daddy!
u obviously aint white. fuckin race baiting f@ggot.
