Booking agent Heavy Rotation LLC sued rapper DMX in New York federal court, claiming the rapper breached a booking agreement by failing to perform at scheduled shows and signing with another agency.
TMZ is reporting that HR wants Dark Man X to repay them $630,000 for a failed international tour. The deal between HR and X gave them exclusive rights to book him for shows anywhere in the world, but HR claims DMX's continuing legal problems prevented the tour from ever getting off the ground.
According to the lawsuit, X's legal troubles included child support issues and a traffic violation which led to a lien on the rapper's passport, preventing him from performing overseas.
HR also claims that X hired an outside booking agent to schedule appearances in the U.S., which violated their exclusive agreement with him.
Because of all the legal problems and failed appearances HR says they spent $749,285 and want the majority of the money back.
DMX's manager disputes HR's claim and says X chose to break off the agreement with the company because of their unsavory business practices.

DMX and his management team have responded to the lawsuit filed by booking agent Heavy Rotation.
As we previously reported, X is being sued for $630,000 by HR for a failed international tour. The company claims DMX's continued legal problems prevented the tour from happening leaving them with financial losses in excess of $740,000.
Domenick Nati, publicist for DMX, told AllHipHop that the lawsuit has no merit. He also says DMX is moving forward with his comeback tour without them.
“I would like to make clear that DMX’s management team is facing legal issues only with Heavy Rotation Booking. HR Booking is a previous promoter who DMX and his management have terminated their agreement with,” Nati said. “The ‘DMX Undisputed Comeback Tour 2012′ is a completely separate tour than the one with HR Booking.”
DMX's management said they terminated their deal with HR because the company sent falsified passport documents to promoters overseas in order to book the tour dates.
AllHipHop reports that Heavy Rotation hasn't responded to the allegations against them.
