DMX "Hospitalized" In Miami, Possibly Rehab

by REIGN

THURSDAY AUGUST 14, 2008

DMX is currently hospitalized in Miami, Florida. The rapper, who failed to make an appearance yesterday in court and was issued a warrant, was unable to appear because he had checked into a Miami hospital on Tuesday morning, according to his lawyer, Charles Kozelka.

X's lawyer would not say why DMX was hospitalized, nor would he comment on reports that the MC was in a rehabilitation facility. He said that X's team is "working towards getting him some help, and we hope that will be taken seriously by all parties in this case," including the court and DMX himself, who is "serious" about getting help with his substance abuse issues.

Kozelka said he is working towards getting DMX back to Arizona to take care of the warrant issued, but he was hesitant to say that the rapper would not be arrested again. "We have to work out an arrangement that will work with the courts. Obviously, it's not working now," he said. "We are in court again next week on other matters, and my hope is we can get the warrant resolved by then and get back on track. We have some things in the works to get the warrant taken care of. My hope is that we can resolve it without an arrest, but he's been arrested at the airport before, so they obviously have an eye out for him, so I'm not sure."

Below is a collage of X's mugshots.

 We're praying for you X!

cdeezy28,
Unfortunately I don't think he is serious about fixing his problem, I think his lawyer is just saying what the court wants to hear. Doing damage control for X after having missed that court date. Speaking from experience a FTA charge basically matches whatever your charge is. So if you are charged with a felony than a FTA on top of it makes it two felonies. That is unless the FTA gets dropped, which is what I THINK X's lawyer is trying to do. It's a shame though cuz I miss DMX in the game. Remember in 98, when DMX and Canibus were the next two big things? Times sure have changed. PEACE I am about to go on the air LIVE 11am-1pm EST TODAY and every Friday for The Livin' Large Morning Show at www.clubmegamix.com So far we have a small audience and I'd appreciate it if ya'll niggaz would show some love. Listening to "Letter To The King", and the rest of the "L.A.X." album by Game

HE NEEDS SOME GOOD PEOPLE AROUND HIM RIGHT NOW. "NO FAKE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH HIM PEOPLE". HE LOOKS SERIOUSLY MESSED UP. HE WILL KEEP GETTING ARRESTED UNLESS SOMEONE TALKS TO HIM PROPERLY.

SOMEONE NEEDS TO PUT HIM IN A ROOM, PUT ALL HIS WORK HE HAS DONE FROM RAP TO MOVIES ON BIG SCREEN AND MAKE HIM WATCH IT UNTIL HE GETS BETTER. HE CAN'T JUST THROW AWAY EVERYTHING LIKE THAT!

I'm tellin, you dude is trying to kill himself..If you got all that money or had all the money DMX made you wouldn't be out doing crack unless you've lost your mind. Smoke some weed, drink excessively, but don't be burnin your lips on some pipe.

hahaha soft out a glass pipe... i aint tryin to make any jokes or anything bro im just simply sayin i kno what crack heads look like n i kno what dope fiends look like n those r definitely pictures of someone startin to get dope sick cuz he got arrested n cant do no more... but idk if its a fact that hes into coke n all that shit ill stop talkin. point is no matter what hes doin its not cool he dont need to b into all that shit hes got plenty of money... he needs to buy a quap of some good ass weed n just chill for a couple weeks n get his mind straight
