Rapper DMX Arrested

James Joyner @ Gone Hollywood | Monday, May 15, 2006

Rapper DMX was arrested after causing a ruckus when told to put on his seatbelt on an overseas flight.

Police arrested DMX after the rap star refused to put on a seat belt and became abusive on a flight from New York to London, authorities said Monday. DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, received a caution and was released after his American Airlines flight landed at Heathrow Airport on Saturday, police said on condition of anonymity in line with departmental policy. A caution means a person has accepted responsibility for the offense, and a record will be made.

The 35-year-old rapper completed a 70-day sentence late last year in New York City after pleading guilty to violating his parole following a 2004 incident in which he crashed his sport utility vehicle through an airport security gate.

He was behind the 1999 hit single “Party Up (Up in Here).” His last album was “Grand Champ” in 2003, but he is working on another album, to be released this summer.

Shocking. Who would ever suspect a rapper would comport himself in any but the most gentlemanly manner? Then again, who wouldn’t get irate when being told to put on a seatbelt? Who did that bitch think she was, anyway?
