DMX Jailed

Rapper DMX was jailed in Buffalo, New York yesterday July 14th for failing to comply with a family court ruling. He was asked by a court to pay back child support to one of his baby mamas but he didn’t. When he appeared in court yesterday, a judge slapped him with a 6 months sentence and he was immediately locked up in Erie County Holding Center.

DMX has been arrested many times in the past few years, but this is the first prison sentence since 2011. 

 DMX began a six-month stint in jail on Tuesday after failing to pay $400,000 worth of child support.

Last month, the rapper was arrested by New York City Sheriff’s deputies for a number of “issues outstanding” before being extradited to Erie County serve time for the family court-issued sentence.
