Judge Orders Warrant After Rapper Skipped Yet Another Court Date
DMX is once again a wanted man.
A New York Supreme Court judge ordered a warrant for DMX’s arrest after the troubled rapper didn’t show for a hearing on Monday in regard to paying back child support to his ex-wife, Tashera Simmons.
Judge Paul Marx was livid when DMX didn’t turn up for a scheduled court date at Westchester County Supreme Court, even though the rapper gave his word that he would. The last time Judge Marx ordered him arrested was back in October, and when cops hauled him in, DMX claimed he needed to go back on the road to earn money, but would be back for court.
Instead of showing up, DMX was was performing in Las Vegas for “DMXmas” at the Foxtail Nightclub. His lawyer told the judge the rapper thought the court date was Dec. 15 – not Dec. 14 – but the judge wasn’t buying it.

“It’s going to be really hard to perform at the Westchester County Jail,” the judge said. DMX “sat here at the table and said, ‘If you let me go, I’m coming back.’ Well, he ain’t here. It’ll be interesting to see if TSA picks him up on a warrant.”
DMX was supposed to reveal all of his assets at Monday’s hearing, something Simmons’ lawyer, Joseph Daniels said they’d been trying to figure out.
Judge Marx apologized to Simmons for not being able to resolve her case sooner.
“Ms. Simmons, I am sorry for the inadequacies of the court system to get you any relief today,” he said.
Simmons said DMX had made one payment to her thus far, with another due Dec. 15.
Outside court, Simmons told BOSSIP that she just wants her one time love to honor his obligations to her.
“I just want him to own up to his responsibilities, so I can move on, so we can move forward,” the ex-wife said. “I don’t want to see him in jail. I want him to be an adult so we can move on. This is not a priority, There’s always an excuse.”
