DMX missed another scheduled court date on Tuesday, though, arguably, he had a reasonable excuse for getting on the wrong side of the law this time. He's ill. Though I have a feeling he's used that excuse before.
The rapper, real name Earl Simmons, was reportedly admitted to hospital on Monday, and his lawyer Bradford Cohen says that he's in a serious condition, but is expected to make a full recovery. Cohen told Billboard.com: "It was serious enough for him to be brought and taken into a treatment facility. He spent the night there last night, and he will probably spend tonight there as well. I don't think it's going to be an ongoing thing or a life-threatening situation. He's going to be alright."
Simmons, as previously reported, was recently extradited from Florida to Arizona to face a number of charges, including those of drug possession, theft and animal cruelty. The Tuesday court date related to the drug possession issues.
