When the Checks Stop Coming In

Posted by Bossip Staff

DMX is being accused of trying to get some hospital care for free:

On April 15, Mayo Clinic doctors thought they were treating a man named Troy Jones for pneumonia. But it was really Earl Simmons, better known as rapper DMX, trying to dodge a hospital bill, according to court documents obtained Friday. The rapper checked into the Phoenix campus’ emergency room, complaining of shortness of breath and chest pains, the documents said. “Someone in the projects is going to get the bill,” Simmons told a visitor to his hospital room, according to a May 9 search warrant served on the hospital by Maricopa County sheriff’s deputies.

The search warrant said Simmons provided the hospital “false information including name and address for billing purposes,” and that the high-profile rapper had committed the crime of “theft of services.” A confidential source inquired about Simmons’ room, but was told the hospital had no patient by that name. The source later said Simmons told him he checked in as Troy Jones to avoid paying the bill.

Still, Simmons, who owns a clothing line and acts, appears to be struggling financially. He and his wife, Tashera, who have four children, were sued in Maricopa County Superior Court last year by American Express Travel for $64,866 plus late charges, interest on a credit card and attorneys’ fees. The couple had paid a portion of the bill, but with other fees, still owed $83,353, as of April 23, court records said.

Come on now Earl, if you’re gonna do some sh*t like this, at least don’t get caught. SMH.

  66. ARTOFWAR

    Earl Simmons, gave us some of the best hip, hop music, of our times. Shame on you all for kicking a person when he is down!!!!! It is very clear that this man. (And he is still a man).

    Is going though some major battles, with his own demons. As black people, not one of us, can say that if not for our selves. We may all know someone, in our very own families, or *****ociates that is going through this same similar hell. America has a way, of eating its best, and regurgitating them out, like a bad hangover. We cannibalize our own, for self amusement. It is what Americans do best. This syndrome comes from the absurd ideology, that if you have the money, and the adulation of the m*****es, you will be happy. For the many that will never achieve fame, or great amounts of wealth, this is a lie, so be warned. In other words, if you just have the mansions, and all the trappings. You too would be at peace, and in internal happiness. It is the greatest lie ever perpetuated by a capitalistic system. It starts with your parents, then it goes to your teachers. It is on every billboard on the road. It is in your favorite magazines. There is just no real way, to get away from the lie which is materialism. I have personally been to the highest mountains. Unfortunately for those that have been to the top of Everest, you quickly realize. That the hype, is just that hype. And the lie, is just a lie. Earl, has realized this, and so have many of others, such a Kurt Cobain, Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, and so many others. When you finally reach the top of the mountain. You quickly realize that, there is nothing to see, but other mountains, and not much more. This is where the lies become self evident. And this is where disillusionment begins.. You see, if you are not very careful. The American dream, can quickly become the American nightmare. I have climbed Everest, and unlike Martin Luther, King. When he said, “I have climbed the mountain top“ Well, no disrespect to Martin Luther . However I have found that when you climb the tallest mountains. The act can become a major let down. Enjoy the journey, not necessarily the destination. And to DMX, keep your head up kid….. Fore, we are all a little crazy… None the less gifted. ARTOFWAR.
