DMX
Earl Simmons was on a mission this year: see how many times he could get arrested and released. He was at 5 by July, but he kept going like a “grand†champ. He branched out and dabbled in false identity, to go along with drug charges and animal cruelty. He was caught on tape cussing out a judge during sentencing, then later on caught hiding out in Scott Storch’s mansion while on the run from Arizona authorities. All this while he was supposed to working on a gospel album. I guess he’s still waiting on a sign, although I blame BET for this because they didn’t renew his reality show. Oh yeah, he ended up on 8 arrests for the year if you were wondering.
RICK ROSS
So Trick Daddy went and spilled the beans about Rick Ross and his past as a correctional officer. If he had been smart, he woulda just admitted to it and kept it moving. Unfortunately he denied it and The Smoking Gun jumped right on the trail (I guess he missed what they did to Akon). Even when the hard proof surfaced, he denied it like his life was on the line. In October he finally admitted to his past in October, but by then he had effectively killed whatever momentum he’d built up with Trilla.
