DMX Denied Bail and Remains in Phoenix Jail


Hardcore rapper DMX, who has been jailed six times in the past decade, faced a judge again Wednesday who denied him bail for violating his probation by using drugs.


According to court documents, the hip-hop bad boy, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was on parole for an assault conviction and using a fake name to avoid paying a $7,500 hospital bill.

The 39-year-old performer violated the terms of his probation by getting caught using cocaine and Oxycontin, failing to submit to drug testing and counseling and driving with a suspended license. He was arrested on November 19 and placed in Arizona's Maricopa County jail.

"Mr. Simmons has several felony convictions, and has been given multiple opportunities to succeed on probation," reads the complaint. "He has been directed to treatment, as well as chose his own treatment program and continues to use illegal drugs following their opportunities."

DMX denied all of the alleged charges and is scheduled to again appear at the Maricopa County courthouse on December 9.
