DMX got into a screaming match with security when he arrived to Colorado Springs charity concert nearly one and a half hours late after security was told that he was scheduled to perform. The rapper, his bodyguards and fans eventually got into a shoving match with security in front of the stage, while the crowd, who had already been told that DMX wasn’t going to show up, began chanting for the rapper. DMX eventually got on stage but the sound system was reportedly turned off so he couldn’t perform. I think that he’s the only guy who could make a charity event into a melee.

Just over a week after DMX was released from jail, the rapper pled guilty to another crime and he’s about to find out if he will have to make a return to Arizona’s Tent City Jail. No one should be surprised about this considering his oh so shiny track record. He originally pled not guilty to the charge but he decided to cop a plea and pled guilty to attempted aggravated assault, a felony, back on May 22 after an incident in which he verbally threatened guards at Tent City back in February. The rapper is due back in Maricopa County court for sentencing on today.

DMX’s lawyer had until 4 PM on Tuesday this week to explain to a judge in Phoenix just why his client didn’t show up for his court date. His defender told the judge that the rapper couldn’t make it to court since he had been checked into a Miami hospital the day before his hearing. There was no reason given as to why DMX was admitted into the hospital though. His public defender did say though that DMX’s team is “working towards getting him some help, and we hope that will be taken seriously by all parties in this case.”
