DMX will have to wait until mid-July to be released from prison. The troubled rapper is currently serving a year long sentence for violating the terms of his probation by using drugs. But the rapper who’s real name is Earl Simmons will be back on the streets before the end of the summer.
DMX will be released from prison two weeks later than expected. According to court documents, he will be placed under supervised watch on July 13th, rather than July 1st which was first believed, with the watch expiring on August 13th. The maximum time for him to spend in jail is limited to August 25th.
The rapper went back to prison last December after pleading guilty to violating his probation. At the time, the judge speculated that he had “an undiagnosed mental condition” and possibly suffered from bi-polar disorder. He was admitted to the Flamenco Mental Health Unit at the facility.
This stint in prison marks DMX’s 13th incarceration. He was arrested in Maricopa County, Arizona in November 2010 for violating probation stemming from an incident involving attempted aggravated assault by throwing a food tray at a jail guard, as well as theft by using a fake name to dodge a $7,500 hospital bill.
We hope that X has learned his lesson from his jail time.
