Rapper DMX arrested in NYC over unpaid child support

Rapper DMX has been halted for failure to pay child support just as he was about to perform at Radio City Music Hall.
A spokesman for the New York City Sheriff’s Department tells WPIX-TV the 44-year-old rapper was taken into custody Friday for various “issues outstanding.”
He said those included $400,000 worth of unpaid child support, a sanction issued by the city of White Plains for bail jumping and a robbery complaint out of Newark, New Jersey. No complaints have been charged in the Newark case.
The rapper’s real name is Earl Simmons. He had been scheduled to execute in the Master of Ceremony concert at Radio City.
A management company that has represented DMX did not immediately give an email looking for comment from The Associated Press.
