DMX is locked up ... again.
TMZ reports that the 47-year old rapper, born Earl Simmons, was taken into custody in a Manhattan court Tuesday morning, January 30, for failing violating the terms of his probation in his tax evasion case.
He allegedly tested positive for cocaine, oxycodone.and other opiates. The judge in the case ruled he was a flight risk, adding that DMX had told a "great big lie" when he agreed to his bail terms.
"I'm saddened and disappointed. We'll have to deal with it accordingly," said Dark Man X's attorney Murray Richman.
X had recently been doing well while out on probation. He responded well to court-ordered drug rehabilitation and was granted permission to travel for business, after previously being placed on house arrest.
Murray said he would try to get his client back into rehab.
The "Party Up (Up in Here)" hit maker is currently facing 14 counts of evading more than $1 million in federal taxes. If convicted he could be sentenced to 44 years in federal prison.
