Rapper DMX arrested in NYC over unpaid child support
Rapper DMX has been arrested for failure to pay child support just as he was going to perform at Radio City Music Hall.
A spokesman for the New York City Sheriff’s Department tells WPIX-TV that the 44-year-old rapper was taken into custody Friday for several “issues outstanding.”
He said those included $400,000 worth of unpaid child support, a warrant issued by the city of White Plains for bail jumping and a robbery complaint out of Newark, New Jersey.
The rapper’s real name is Earl Simmons.
He was scheduled to perform at the Master of Ceremony concert at Radio City alongside Shabba Ranks and other rappers.
A management company that has represented DMX did not immediately return an email seeking comment.
