DMX Has Another MINOR Run-In With The Fuzz!
Well, this isn’t something you hear every day! DMX was pulled over last week by authorities, but this time - he was let go! According to law enforcement, the rapper received a citation for not wearing a seat belt while driving with his assistant in Hollywood, but that was it! And X himself explains: “Just a minor ticket no biggie. A quick learning lesson about not wearing a seat belt. I will handle and pay for it. This would be the only reason I come in contact with the police because I am a changed man.” We are certainly glad to hear that, boy! But please remember to wear your seat belt! It’s for your own safety, after all! [ Image via WENN .]
