DMX was arrested earlier today in Arizona — and now his lawyer is reaching out to the one man who he believes can save him … Dr. Drew Pinsky.
The details of the arrest are unclear — but the rapper’s lawyer Gary Jenkins tells us “He’s been battling addiction for some time and he’s in need of treatment.”
Jenkins also tells us, “We’re hoping that maybe Dr. Drew might be able to help him.”
DMX — aka Earl Simmons — was arrested a bazillion times over the last two years for all sorts of reasons … including drug charges.
Jenkins added, “He’s a talented man … we’re praying for him.”
UPDATE 5:04 PM PT: We’ve also learned more details of DMX’s arrest. We’re told he allegedly violated the terms of his probation by using illegal drugs.
TMZ later reported that X was booked on five counts of probation violation and that he was being held without bond, and that during his court hearing he was cussing up a storm and all that nonsense, SMH.
I don’t get it, wasn’t this the man that “allegedly” swore off cursing and was supposed to be headlining a GOSPEL concert this coming Saturday?? I cant this early in the morning…what a tool.
