DMX just can't seem to stay out of trouble. The embattled rapper was busted buying drugs from an undercover cop in Miami on Friday. The 37-year-old, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was arrested during a narcotics sting operation, according to a police report obtained by the Miami Herald. According to reports, X approached the officer and asked for ''30 powder and 15 weed.'' The rapper paid the cop $30 for cocaine and $15 for marijuana before being arrested and taken to Miami-Dade County jail.
X was arrested last week Monday in Miami when he was pulled over and charged with driving without a valid driver's license. The troubled rap star is also awaiting trial for 11 counts of animal cruelty and drug charges in Arizona.

No matter what trials and tribulations DMX may go thru in his OWN WALK OF LIFE, I will always be a fan of his music and thru his music I can understand the fact that DMX is fighting a battle within and only he can conquer the battle or be defeated by it. I pass NO JUDGEMENT!!!!
