DMX was arrested last night in Arizona for driving 102 mph in a 65 mph zone. The rapper, who has been arrested several times over the past few years, was also pinched for driving on a suspended license.
According to TMZ, Dark Man X was booked for “speeding, reckless driving and the suspended license.” He has since been released on bond.
X was recently released from prison after serving eight months of a 12-month bid for violating parole by using drugs. He has been arrested in Arizona at least a half-dozen times.
[August 25]
UPDATE: After his arrest on Wednesday night, DMX claims that he was unfairly targeted for speeding and that the claims that he was going more than 100 mph were greatly exaggerated.
“I was going 85 miles per hour … I know for a fact I didn’t go more than 90,” he said. “I’m used to driving fast, I’m a New Yorker … but I constantly look at the speedometer when I’m driving … I need to make sure I don’t drive too fast.”
X plans to file a lawsuit against the state of Arizona for harassment. “I plan on suing … and I plan on suing for harassment,” he continued. “I’m in discussions with multiple lawyers who are not afraid to go against the system in helping me clear my name because I have been harassed.”
His rep also issued a statement on his behalf. “This situation is being blown way out of proportion. DMX was in jail for approximately 1 hour. Also the report given by Sgt. Rudy Lujan of AHP, was exaggerated according to the people present. DMX does admit to driving at 85mph but not nearly at the speed that was suggested in the report. In response to the constant harassment by Arizona law enforcement, DMX says this, ‘God brought me to Phoenix and I’m not going to let no man run me and my family from our home!’ Despite being under a microscope, DMX is doing everything he can to put his past criminal charges behind him and focus on music.”
X, i love you man, but you are fucking stupid.
thank you i luv u too
xoxoxoxoxoxoxox
THANK U! GRRRRR WEEE RIGHT HERE YEAH IM A RUFFRYDER BABYYY! i gos to hit the streets one more time! the popo just gaved me a bill GRRRRRRR
damn 102mph in a 65mph zone with no l’s damn good luck X
that racecar driver just lost his l’s for 45days doing the same thing what you think they gone do to X
Idiot…and thats out of pure anger, cuz he USE to be one of my top favs.
A few of us suggested a few weeks back that X will soon be back in jail and folks had a problem with it. The good thing here is probabation is over – I hope, so they can’t do much to him. But damn! Drugs does not even begin to explain this. And no, your supposed bipolar does not either. One, X, you need to get out of AZ. Two, you need to get some serious help. You are looking for a deal, but still proving you have some serious issues.
I call bullshit, illuminati is doing these things to him
Thank You!!!
Why moron?
This man doesn’t need jail, he needs some real help. I hope that someone can reach him before he dies. He will be remembered as a legend in the rap game. Nobody besides Will Smith, 2 Pac, Ice T and Cube were able to cross over like he did. I’m going to miss you Dark Man X aka Earl Simmons. I am truly sad about what’s about to happen.
Dude – Most people speed in 65mph.
Sit your teary ass down and stop putting bad energy out there.
I go at least 80mph if I know there’s no cops around. God damn.
Why don’t you go push 102 in a 65 today…stop at 80 for a minute or two first, and then push it to 102. There’s a big fucking difference. There’s serious intent involved. You either intend to get pulled over, you intend to get somewhere because it’s that much of an emergency and worth the risk, or you intend to kill yourself or somebody else.
seriously i’m getting tired of this bullshit , how the fuck can you get arrested for speeding are you fucking kidding me , and how the fuck tmz always is there , FUCK ILLUMINATI FUCK THEM
Thank You!!!!
Yep it’s the illumanati’s fault that X was driving over the limit. Damn illumanati, always hiding in the driver’s side stepping on the gas
im pretty sure its just crack doing things to him not illuminati
finaly, one good comment

It’s become apparent he wants to go out in a bang. Watch, he’ll be dead soon. People around him need to fucking sit his ass down before its too late.
damn steven you suck at your job so much, its sad, you would think this guy would learn to proof read his shit, hell ask your mom do read over it for you like your homework,
‘ was also pinched for driving on a suspended for driving on a suspended license ‘
thanks for spell checking it for us you fucktard, thank you so much. i speak for the entire hiphopdx community. thanks. loser
hey faggot, it wasnt even spelling
every time i read one of his articles it makes me cringe. he continues to make this website look bad every week with all his mistakes.
excuse me for being educated
LMAO
STEVE NEEDS TO GO.
Man Dmx needs to move out of Arizona because all they going to do is keep arresting him go back to New York your home or somewhere eles.
laws are laws no matter where u go. u cant drive 100+ in no state. this nigga is just a dumb fuck that cant be helped
If anything, he needs to leave AZ cuz aint shit good there for an ex-con, rapper, is his late 30’s. Arizona is where old white people go to reitre when they can’t afford to retire in luxury and don’t want the humidity of Florida. Point in case: John McCain reps Arizona. Anybody wana move to the state John McCain reps?
GOD DAMN!
Illumati wants him back in jail i see
Yes, because they let everyone else who was speeding at 102 mph in the 65 right on by as they arrested DMX.
What are you, fucking retarded?
with a haircut like that,
dude looks like a homosexual/ mentally retarded version of Justin Beiber..
Co-sign dude looks like a cheap knockoff of Justin homo
fuck is wrong with X?
I believe there may be Illuminati- but is Illuminati stopping this nigga from GETTING A DRIVER? OR GOING THE SPEED LIMIT? Im afraid the truth is, this nigga is institutionalized. Been in n out his whole life, now don’t know what to do when he’s free. Like dude in Shawshank redemption who stole a loaf of bread just to go back.
Nah dude, it’s most definitely the Illuminati, X is too real for them.
^ the illuminati is making him break the law?
man…..killuminati. pac was right. you people cant take responsibility for ur own mistakes so you blame some shit you cant even prove exists. the definition of a grown ass child, loser ass dudes.
SOMEONE LOCK HIM UP IN A STUDIO ALREADY!
Ok, DMX is officially a mental retard…
This is from a major fan: keep at it man….ur grave will read “here lies a fool”
you people are unreal… he was going almost double the speed limit and you blame the illuminati? are you people that far gone for real? do you hear yourselves… my god…. no wonder black people cant get ahead! You never take ownership or your fuck ups! Not to sound racist…I’m half black (black)…… but my god…. this shit is unreal… the man was fucking cruising and you blame the illuminati!? WTF!??
this guy is a fucking loser
LOL Illuminati dont give a fuck about no washed up rapper. DMX is a threat to himself and himself only. Nobody even buys his music anymore. he’s a shell of a man, and parody of his former self. the illuminati doesnt give a fuck about musician, period.
You are rite. He’s only a threat to himself untill he runs over some kid cause he’s speeding
^lol cosign. And somehow I doubt that the illuminati master plan is to run over a kid playing in traffic.
Ok I like his music and he is one of the few I been waiting to hear another album from, but wtf…. He’s gotta keep his ass the fuck outta jail for at least a year… gotz damn………
WOW already…..your not helping yourself nigga.
this guy is an idiot
i co-sign….!!
OHHH WHAT A SUPRISE DMW FACES THE JUSTICE ONCE AGAIN! WTF are you talkin about? Illuminati? Really?
Why are they want to put him in jail? Isn’t Ice Cube, Killer Mike , Mos Def…. are way better and most dangerous than him, they are real role models, DMX is used to like him, but common a man who never learned from his mistakes.
Like someone said he is retarted.
A man who cheat on his wife smokin crack…
represent no danger he is actually what they want you to do fucked up your family and the brothers.
A real threat to the Illuminati or whatever is a respectable man who takes care of his family…..
DMX has been a wild dude since day one so this doesn’t surprise me. There is no reason to fuss about this, he was caught speeding. It’s not that serious until someone gets hurt, so just let him live.
so someone has to die first before you realize the dangers of reckless driving and punish someone? what is wrong with you brah? you’re kidding right?
he didn’t catch a charge til after he blew up. so has he really been crazy since day one?
Fuck that dumb shit. I know somebody that was killed in a head on collision this week. This should be a felony, with his record,, and he should be sent to fuckin’ prison…not jail…PRISON. Either way, he will probably be dead in the next year the way he’s going.
So he has a head on crash with your mom or whomever and kills them…do you still think its not that serious…even after how many breaks and chances this junkie already got? WTF!
i told you guys this dude yells in his music for the simple fact that he is a retard…lmfao…
he better get his ass out of arizona, them crackers i hear are hell up there lol
That’s a common misconception about Arizona. Yeah, there are white people out here, what state doesn’t? But it’s alot more Hispanics though. Dmx just needs to stop doing stupid shit.
By the logic of the conspiracist retards If anything DMX is the illuminati’s best weapon. An incompetent black who can’t take care of his family and always gets into trouble. If anything the illuminati would have let the dude go and let him fuck up his kids and the people who look up to him.
DMX is the enemy. endangering our children by speeding and driving recklessly.
thank you for arresting this man! damn the reckless drivers. especially the drunk ones.
I’m tellin you, he warned us over a decade ago that we were gonna make him lose his mind… Look what happened.
x is just a failure…period…im tired of having hope…
If the Illuminati does exist- and they wanted him put away- why speeding? why not plant drugs on him- or plant a dead white girl in his trunk? ya niggaz is dumber than fox news viewers & cowboys fans
u crossed that line with the cowboys fans part. they suck…go SEAHAWKS
Institutionalized. If you think this dude doesn’t want to keep going back to jail, think again. He’s afraid of being a man out here.
these editors at XXL should be fired.
Wrong website dummy. P.s you look like a fag, taking a picture of yourself. Kill yourself.
^^ haha screamed on him… That was well deserved too… son is lookin moe’d out
hahahaha you fail son! fuckin pussy don’t comment if u dont like it bitch! nice picture too fag boy
X been out for what, a month now? smh….
X picked the wrong career. Should have been a f#%king Nascar driver. damn son.
its a quiet kill from the illuminati its bull shit that he cant catch a fuckin break. shoulda signed with rick ross so he can call his cop buddies off ya x

keepin hip hop alive til dmx comes back
if you like dmx, wutang clan, immortal technique, mos def, old school 50 cent,jedi mind tricks, outkast
then check me out
search KWESTRO on Facebook
this was done for media presence. anyone in az knows you’ll get pinched for speeding on our freeways. seems pretty desperate. i’m just under the lights on s. mtn. and i’d like to see you. i’ll head up north and scoop you up kind sir; i know you’re not driving.
NIGGA what is yo problem!!!!!
X knows any little offense will allow him to go back behind bars where he feels most at home now. It also allows him to believe that self destructing is an ok out for a man with 10 kids.
I’m starting to believe that
they shoulda never give this nigga money
I’m thinking tomorrow’s headline is gonna be something like “Dmx got arrested for breathing in a no breathing zone, he’s now doing a bid of 7 years” Nigga can’t seem to avoid the law.
Exactly
Lock this clown up and throw away the fucking key #FuckinJunkie
i was actually hoping he stayed out long enough to release some good music, but he must be out of his mind, there is no possible way he could win this case haha give ur head a shake x u had no license and u admitted to speeding.
So he admits to going over the speed limit. They have a little invention called radar guns, in the event someone uses the timeless excuse, “I know for a fact I wasn’t going more than 90.” Maybe he should have told the officer his 11th kid was being born, and he was racing to the hospital.
man… you’re white.
And he’s fucking RIGHT. I don’t give a fuck if he’s purple.
At this point its harrassment. I don’t care who speeding… NOBODY get stopped as much as X. We all pass the speed limit everyday but we dont get stopped as much as X. Why? Sheriff Arpaio probably has documentation somewhere that says that DMX is the scum of the earth. Arizona is the most racist state in the country.
I don’t understand why people with a target on their back think its a good idea to shine a light on it….and admitting to exceeding the speed limit in an effort to show you were wrongly accused of exceeding the speed limit is not a good look…
that’s like saying “nah, I wasn’t selling coke that’s a bullshit charge…I know for a fact it was crack”
Step 1: Get the fuck outta Arizona.
Step 2: Stay the fuck outta Arizona.
Seriously…dude is like a child, doing dumb shit and actin like he’s getting picked on when someone catches him lol…I got a nephew who acts the same way….only thing is he’s THREE YEARS OLD…
I swear DMX LOVES JAIL….that’s his favorite shit right there…when DMX was a kid and they asked where they wanted to have his birthday party he said RIKERS…
All i have to say is dayum. Hope he stays out of trouble. & away from az. Start making that real hard gutter shit. Peace outs.
“He has been arrested in Arizona at least a half-dozen times”
nigga needs to stay the fuck outta arizona.
Dumbest. Rapper. Ever…
You JUST came home…stories of you getting arrested in AZ have literally become a RUNNING JOKE…so the first thing you do is punch “crack house” in your GPS, get into a car with NO LICENSE and do 102 mph in a 65 zone…then talk about “harassment”!
I laughed so hard when i read about him getting arrested YET AGAIN…then laughed EVEN HARDER when I went on hiphopdx and saw he wants to “SUE FOR HARASSMENT”!!!!!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
I read somewhere DMX has been arrested AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR IN AZ SINCE 1999!!!!!!!Think about that….think about how STUPID that is…this dude is like 40 yrs old…with kids!
I guarantee you DMX knows damn well there was no “harassment” but he is so embarassed being caught up AGAIN, in AZ AGAIN, and SO SOON after JUST COMING HOME, AGAIN after ALL THAT TALK he just doesn’t want to admit it this time…anyone with half-a-brain can see this…
Wow…I laughed so hard at this article i cried a little bit…
I bet none of you know what the 11th amendment says….
States can’t be sued they have immunity… Unless the state waives the 11th amendment.
Kinda pathetic Americans don’t know our founding documents.
Unless you know absolutely everything, about every governing document in our society, you should SHUT THE FUCK UP. I’m sure there’s some shit out there that you SHOULD know, but don’t. The world keeps turning.
but know all about the a fictional society…
DAMN! SMH
Oh boy!
Why do y’all give a ish anyways, hatin on this man.. yeah he’s been to jail a ton of times, but he’s got more money than ANY of y’all have, including me. So gtfo, let him do him, y’all do yourselves.. shit.
TOLD THIS PUNK AZZ NIGG@ NOT TO TALK ABOUT US. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MESS WITH OUR COMPANY.
Here we go again…Harassment? Really? Let’s say you weren’t going 102mph, you still were speeding doing 85 or 90 in a 65. AND driving on a suspended license, how is that harassment? This dude here is something else…You just came home dawg!
we were actually chasing this mutherfvker becuase he had our illumnati doccuments. That was the reason he was speeding.
Why is he still in Arizona and why the fuck is he speeding in Arizona?
