DMX Hospitalized, No Court This Week
By all accounts, DMX has had a rough year. And it only seems to keep getting worse.
After numerous arrests and extraditions, the rapper has now been hospitalized in Florida and will not be able to attend a scheduled Arizona court appearance set for Wednesday.
The 37-year-old rapper was hospitalized Monday in Florida, meaning so much for tomorrow’s court date in Arizona related to his ongoing animal-cruelty and drug-possession case.
Without disclosing exactly what was ailing DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, attorney Bradford Cohen told Billboard.com that “it was serious enough for him to be brought and taken into a treatment facility.
“He spent the night there last night and he will probably spend tonight there as well,” Cohen said Tuesday. “I don’t think it’s going to be an ongoing thing or a life-threatening situation. He’s going to be alright.”
