J-o-e Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Hip-Hop star DMX may have to serve 60 days in prison. The rapper, whose real name is Earl Simmons, pleaded guilty Tuesday (Oct. 25) to violating the terms of an agreement reached after a driving infraction last year. Additionally, DMX confessed that he had a pair of other violations while his driver’s license was suspended or revoked, according to the Associated Press. The rapper’s driver’s license was suspended after a June 2004 road rage incident at JFK Airport in Queens, New York. DMX managed to avoid jail time after chasing another driver through the airport parking lot with flashing lights and sirens on his SUV. He later admitted to being under the influence of Valium during the fiasco. Police claim DMX was pulling the other driver out of the car when they arrived on the scene. His charges were eventually reduced to misdemeanor offenses. In December of 2004, DMX had more problems with his driving. The Def Jam rapper was arrested and charged with speeding violations in Westchester, New York, after police caught the rapper driving over 100 mph in a 65 mph zone. In April of 2005, DMX was driving on the Major Deegan Expressway in the Bronx, when he crashed into a car that then struck an unmarked police cruiser. The rapper has maintained that he was rushing to the hospital because his wife was in labor, but prosecutors said the child was born three days later. Sentencing has been scheduled for November 17.
