DMX Arrested…AGAIN!
On Tuesday March 9, 2010 we planned to post an article about how the “Gospel Rap Extravaganza” that DMX was hosting in Arizona was canceled, and how no one was willing to associate with the oft-arrested rapper. In the article, we suggest to DMX that he would have to stay out of jail for at least one year before he could earn some trust.
Apparently one year was too long. Apparently one day was too long.
DMX was arrested again on Tuesday March 9, 2010 — at the same time the following article was being typed — for violating his parole and using cocaine.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, according to NME.com, had some interesting thoughts about the situation. “We would hope that he is finally sent to prison. We’ve arrested him five times already. How many times do you have to violate the law?”
The following is what we were going to post about the canceled DMX event in its’ entirety.
We may never know how many arrests would have been made if the DMX “Gospel Rap Extravaganza” were to go on as planned. Just days before the scheduled show, hosted by the newly-religious ex-convict, Arizona’s Independence High School decided they wanted nothing to do with the Exit Wounds star.
The school refunded the Morning Star Sanctifies Church’s $500 deposit, even after the church took out a $1 million insurance policy, once hearing of DMX’s criminal record.
A record that includes: arrests for animal cruelty, possession of drugs, possession of weapons, aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, identity falsification, driving under the influence, criminal mischief, attempted carjacking, impersonating an FBI agents (that was the best one), and failure to notify the DMV of an address change.
That last one is just inexcusable. Wouldn’t the prison warden notify the DMV of his new address in Cell Block C?
But sadly the benefit concert was canceled because the High School decided that DMX is probably not a changed man. He obviously had the support of the church, but the church may have been supporting him because they were going to reap the profits from the $35 show. What does this man have to do to prove he has changed?
Maybe he needs to go more than a year without being arrested. Maybe he needs to do more than just announce that he is now a Christian to get some redemption. Maybe he needs to actually prove that prison has changed him for the better.
Until then, a $500 deposit is not going to be enough money to convince any location to play host to any type of DMX extravaganza.
