DMX's freedom is pretty short-lived these days. The controversial rapper is headed back to jail, yet again. He surrendered to a Los Angeles judge on Monday to begin a 90-day sentence for a reckless driving conviction back in 2002.
DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was just released earlier this month from an Arizona jail. He served four months for violating the terms of his probation from a 2009 conviction for cruelty to animals, theft and drug charges.
The Yonkers, N.Y., native's latest arrest is a legacy violation from a 2002 reckless driving conviction. He received probation at the time, but his surmounting legal woes warranted a violation.
According to DMX's manager, his client is just eager to get his life back on track and immerse himself in his craft.
As if DMX's legal troubles weren't enough, his wife of 10 years, Tashera, has recently announced thatshe has had enough and is calling it quits on their marriage. The mother of his four children and childhood sweetheart has apparently passed her shenanigans limit. During their marriage, DMX has been arrested several times, been addicted to drugs, had a public affair with video vixen Karrine Steffans aka "Superhead" and fathered an illegitimate child with a woman who he claimed raped him.
Now Tashera is working on the release of a book about her life with the celeb rapper and also trying to cement a reality show deal with a major network.
This go-round in jail, the L.A. judge who sentenced DMX means serious business: the serial offender cannot be freed on electronic monitoring, work release or home detention.
