DMX just can’t get right. The Yonkers rapper violated the conditions of his bail for tax evasion by heading out of town and not telling his parole officer.
Reports TMZ:
The rapper is out on bail in his tax evasion case, and one of the conditions was that he must give the judge a heads-up if he blows out of town. He left New York to see family in St. Louis, without telling hizzoner … and that could be a deal breaker.
DMX’s attorney, Murray Richman, tells TMZ … it seems like X just forgot, because he was preoccupied with the trip.
Richman says X usually notifies his probation officer if he’s leaving New York to perform, so this is unlike him. He’s guessing the judge will show a little mercy and just up the restrictions — like requiring an ankle bracelet — but Richman vows to fight it.
Dark Man X is due in court this week.
As much as X has been to jail, we hope they don’t roll with the “I forgot” defense. Just saying.
The troubled rap star has been charged with ducking almost $1M in taxes and faces up to 44 years in the bing if convicted.
