Jul 21 2008DMX arrested for identity theft

DMX must love getting arrested. He was picked up Saturday at a Phoenix mall on suspicion that he gave a hospital a fake name and social to duck paying for his visit, according to the AP:

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said that when DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, went to Scottsdale's Mayo Clinic in April, he used the name "Troy Jones" and failed to pay a $7,500 bill.

DMX finally cashes in the "Ha ha, nobody knows my real name" and wins a pot full of FAIL. And the worst part is, he wasted it on a seven grand hospital bill. Way to shoot for the stars, big guy. You could've at least hustled yourself a helicopter. Or, if you're the practical type, a swimming pool shaped like a robot: "BEEP BOO BOP I'm full of water."

Que who?

Crack kills. No, seriously...

Why the hell wouldn't he pay for his hospital bills? It's not like he doesn't have the money.

you will be assymulated into the ghetto collective.

Have u guys heard that he ever appeared on the wealthy dating club "R I C H L O V I N G.C O M" for hot singles to hook up for Hot Love and Sexy Dating? There are his hot photos and Lots of hot girls are found in his circle there. I've been there for day, it seems the girls are not hard to hook up.lol

Nigga needs sum hospatullz,
Nigga gets sum hospatullz,
Ain't payin' for no hospatullz,
White ppl are evil.

I love his head cocked to one side "I'm tough as hell, don't cross me or me and my homies will jump out of our hoopty and bust a cap on yo ass" look. I'm stricken with fear. Idiot.

Not bad at all people! Three ignorant comments out of the first seven. Take a bow!

Come on, people, let's show a little more sophistication here. Blaming this guy for what he did is like hitting your cat when you come home and find the rug clawed up. It might make you feel better, but the animal in question doesn't have the mental capacity to understand cause-and-effect and is merely following its instincts. I mean, look at him. It's amazing we're considered the same species.

#9: Same species?! What are you, mexican? It's a looooooong way from black to white.

What an idiot this guy is. Doesn't mean the Klan should be out in full force on the comments though.

I remember when DMX was the only thing playing on the radio along with JaRuhl

typical nigger behavior

(statistics, not racism)

black, white, yellow, or olive. makes no difference. that kind of behavior is truly moronic.

What a dumb ass.

/"famous" rapper uses fake name?
//kinda writes itself

Really!DMX is very hot on the site""Millionaire4me.com"They must be made a mistake.He explain to us on this site.

#3,
what planet are u from? it's quite possible he doesn't have the money..
as you should all know by now, the more the poor men brag about $, bling, ho's, etcc in rap videos (which are made for other poor poeple), the less of it they have in real life. or if they actually ever make the money, they blow it all in an instant trying to show off

The only nigga walking the streets with 4 felonies!

Wow. I mean, he's a dumbass for doing this, but...wow. What is this, the 1800's? If we could keep the racism to a dull roar, that'd be great, mmkay?

Good luck collecting that debt Scottsdale Mayo Clinic, I've been trying to get him to give me my $8 back that I spent on Exit Wounds for years....aiiiiight? aiiiight, then.

Why is this nigger not dead?

Instead of jail, just sick about 10 angry, hungry pitbulls on his ass. I would love to see them shred the sub-human to pieces.

piece of shit.

Just another common criminal with celebrity status. I don't believe he didn't have the money to pay his bill but, if he really is broke (due to financial irresponsibility), there are any number of programs available to individuals in his situation that would end up paying his bill for him. Just ask the tens of thousands of people who clog up emergency rooms all over the Southwestern US. They'll tell you how to work the system (as long as you speak Spanish)

This guy must be totally nuts to fuck with Sheriff Joe. That guy's gonna have his black ass in pink panties eatin green bologna!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

this from the man who brought us "what's my name?"

I have only met one white person with enough courage to say things like this to my face. Please sit down with a black man and explain to him why you believe he is so beneath you. If you can't be a real man and stand behind your words, then they have no meaning. I do not agree with what this man did, but insulting an entire race for what one man did is ridiculous. Almost all of our most heinous and violent crimes in american history were commited by lonely, angry, ineffective white men just like you. Should you be stereotyped?

What's the big deal? Mexicans do this by the thousands every day in hospitals from Dago to DC and the cops don't go after them.

Please tell us he went in to the Mayo Clinic for something good like a head re-alignment, adjustment of his pimp roll or just plain ol' asshat removal - because obviously they failed all across the board. What a stupid punk bitch.

@28 In Houston Admitting offices, there are signs posted everywhere in Spanish that say "You may not use your auto liability insurance policy for your hospital bill"-----------LOL, like Mexicans have car insurance!!

#27 It's easy to be lazy and condemn everyone who's black because of losers like this idiot. Not lumping everyone into a group would be work, and might also be sort of uncomfortable, so it's just so much easier to be a knee-jerk unthinking bigot and then go order the Hungry Klansman special at Denny's and feel secure and superior.

#27- excuse me but didn't the NAACP have a ceramony where they buried the N word? oh, yes they did.
Yet, last week Jesse Jackson called black folks n*ggers!!! LOL

He obviously needed some help for his injured neck. He can't even keep it straight in those mugshots.

Neegers are prone to violence and monkey behavior. It's the reason why every country they control is a third world shithole. They only think of themselves. They're a bunch of monkeys, who for some reason, act proud. If it weren't for slavery every simian negro would be starving to death.

#27 eat a banana, just you, not the whole race.

#32 that ceremony was as stupid as you are.
#35 where is your proof? for every Zimbabwe there is a Tunisia.
#36 make me

I understand that you really want to feel better than someone. My advice is pick up a book and read. You may not be able to change your appearance, or your social status but at least you don't have to continue to be unintellegent as well.

#27 - Name one white (or Mexican or Asian for that matter) entertainer, with or WiTHOUT gobs of money, who did something like this - give a fake name so he wouldn't have to pay the bill for something that he went and asked for, and then received. I mean, this shows what a chicken-shit motherfucker he truly is. And it's hard NOT to stereotype the whole race, being as how blacks are 18% of the population and commit an incredibly high percentage of the violent crimes, have the highest percentage of out of wedlock and teenage births. I grew up in the same neighborhood with them, and some of what I observed that made them different from me was that they absolutely refused to assimilate into middle class society by attending school (most of them ditched school, riding around in cars and meeting up for sex), getting a job (high school drop-outs can't get good ones, or they couldn't get daycare for the babies they started having at 14 or 15) so they could work for what they want, instead of looking to robbing and stealing to provide the money needed to live a decent life in this country.

#38 I can't help the fact that you grew up in a trailer park with a bunch of losers. I'm sure no one from there did anything with their lives. Please show me where you get these "statistics" from. Your nazi newsletter? The problems in poor cities are not because of the race of the inhabitants but lack of jobs. These cities were formed around industries that have either moved or changed directions. Every poor broken down city has dozens upon dozens of closed dilapidated factories and warehouses. That is why the people who live there are poor and angry no matter the race. (please don't say something stupid like, "Well they should move.")

Kenneth Lay scammed people out of millions and millions of dollars then turned rat and became a witness against his fellow co-conspiritors in the Enron case. What an upstanding white man. I hope that foot tastes good.

Nappy headed ass Richard Simmons and everyone else says the word nig, so why not everyone else right? I know this is a superficial website, but Superficial people I can't believe that you all are actually allowing people to post the word in plain view like that. I hope no children visit this website. Everyone will think it's okay to use the "N" word in it's derogatory sense.

the "n" word is always derogatory. Just because some idiot says, "I use it as a term of endearment." doesn't make it right. I slap people across their faces as a greeting. Will that make you enjoy it?

Netsurfer/ #38 it's people like you that we as blacks carry on stereotypes that aren't true about many of us. I grew up in the ghetto myself. I never even had my first kiss until I was 22 years old. Im still with the same guy too. It is a stereotype, and this type of behavior just perpetuates those stereotypes. It doesn't help at all, but neither does your perception about an entire race. You can only go off your experiences and the statistics that you have heard. There would be no way I would've wanted to get pregnant not even at the age I am now at 26, and still be living in the shit hole I grew up in. I have since gone off to college, and have a wonderful health care career. All of my black friends from highschool that I was really close to have done the same for themselves as well. I didn't know one of us who didn't still have their virginity when we became seniors, and we are all pretty girls on top of that. Oh and, just because I grew up in the ghetto don't assume I didn't have a father, because he is still my best friend till this day. He was the one to encourage me not to follow in his and my mom's foot steps when they decided to stop after only getting highschool diplomas, but Im still proud of them for getting that far while being married very young with three children. I had great black parents,and now I consider myself great. They did their best with us.

#41 if that's what floats your boat. if you are black then you should know what I mean, and if you're are not black then you've got to be one to know one. Don't get me wrong I call my cool white friends the nice "N" word, and some do the same with me, and some don't. I don't care if they use it with me, as long as they never use it against me. That's my stance on it.

the n word will always be a slap in the face. expand your vacablary beyond it. actually if you want to discuss this, pm me; BMXMUG on AIM.

What a freaking DOUCH. Sherif Joe A doesn't screw around, I hope he puts Douche-MX in the tents, along with the pretty pink jumpsuits. Let the Beaner prisoners have some fun with this fag.Oh, Obama can suck my Pelosi.

Yeah it's all over the place now so who really cares anymore. You can't stop anyone from saying it. Don't we have bigger problems to worry about than people using it with their friends. Actually to be honest Im not really offended by it anymore, but do children really need to be exposed to it. None of my friends are children, and I don't use the word out in public all loud and ghetto anyway. I have a right to freedom of speech just as much as these racists on here calling people the "N" word in such a horrible way do. I don't care what anyone thinks of me and the way I choose to use the "N" word. It's not the only word that people have chosen to turn from negative to positive anyway. People don't realize that being called a fool is ten times worse, but yet people call each other that all the time as a term of endearment.

Since the discussion has devolved into an argument about the races, here's my two cents, like it or not:

How many examples have we seen (and had shoved down our throats) about blacks and their triumphs over adversity? They grew up impoverished, abused, fatherless and somehow managed to become CEOs of multi-million dollar corporations, sports stars, celebrities, etc... Yet, many of those who are still in bad situations continue to bitch and whine about their lives and that "the white man is keeping me down". Because of the civil rights movement, countless federal and local laws have been passed which cater specifically to blacks and give them every opportunity to succeed. Opportunities that are curiously not available to whites. The only thing blacks need to do is take advantage of those opportunities and pull themselves out of a bad life.

Yes, it takes a hell of a lot of motivation to be a success but it can be done. But it certainly does appear that they want to be spoon-fed and work the system and not have to get off their asses to make their lives better. They figure they are entitled to everything they demand simply because of slavery, which ended 150 years ago. I really doubt that any blacks alive today used to be slaves and are therefore not entitled to any kind of reparation and I certainly have never owned a slave so, I personally don't owe you a goddamn thing.

I don't like Obama and will not vote for him but I'll tell you; If that son-of-a-bitch manages to become President of the United States, blacks have lost any right whatsoever to bitch about anything. He will be a shining example of a black man who grew up under very humble beginnings and managed somehow to achieve the most powerful position on the planet. The position is open to any black who was born an American citizen and managed to not be convicted of anything while growing up.

Blacks have exactly the same opportunities as whites. In addition, they have advantages that whites do not have. They also have black-only colleges, TV programming specifically geared toward blacks, black oriented magazines, etc.... If a white guy wanted to start up an enterprise geared to whites only, blacks would scream "racist", Jesse and Al would show up and close it down before the ink dried on the business license. Really, who would be the racist here?

Yeah, every race has its problems. But stop whining just because you're in a bad fix. The government is using my tax dollars to pay for giving you an advantage that I don't have. So, you're very fucking welcome.

This is the most racist discussion I have ever heard. Don't those of you who are being so racist have anything better to do than slam someone who has done more in his life than you ever will? Get off his dick for the simple fact that you on it like a gnat on a dog's dick.

I like how he was arrested at Metro Center Mall which is, by the way, the MOST GHETTO mall in Phoenix.

Black inventions:

Drive by shootings.
Smash and grab.
Carjacking.
Dressing like clowns.
Ebonics.
Sucker punching elderly people.
mud huts.
Aids.

They are the missing link. Half man, Half Ape.

Is this really this broke? This guy has had MULTI records go MULTI-PLATINUM!!! How IN THE FUCK is this guy broke?? Talk all the shit you want but back in '98 this nigga was hot!

grobpilot you wrote a book of ignorance. For every person who has triumphed over adversity (any race) ther are 1000 who could not. Please tell me where this magic tree of help for blacks is. The civil right movement was so that we can be treated as equals. Not having to see signs of "whites only" that littered our streets and public buildings 60 years ago. We didn't get a check and a coupon book for "free stuff for blacks". We had white people tell us, "I don't care what the law says, you are always going to be a nigger to me!" In the 364 years of slavery in this country, if your family didn't benefit from it I commend you. The reality is, they probably did. Have you ever actually spoken to someone about them feeling entitled? I doubt it. Black only schools? Thats illegal and you are stupid. Only one of the hundreds of tv shows on air is about a black family. Our entertainment constanly portrays WASPish utopias and we watch it without question. The reality is the stupid people of this country have been brainwashed by propaganda against blacks. "If Obama wins, blah blah blah" Our first white president was elected in 1789, why are YOU such a loser?

#47 you made so many great points that I can't argue with, but most blacks I know don't complain about these sort of things. Im glad that you pointed out the fact that so many blacks that grow up in bad situations grow up to become very successful. Thank you very much for pointing that out. I kind of feel you on that. I grew up in a poor neigborhood, and now that Im an adult I wouldn't have it any other way. Why would I say that ? It's because it's made me a better person now. I've been working nonstop since the age of 14, have worked while going to school, and have the encouragement of my parents and my own will to thank for. If these blacks you're talking about complaining about unfair treatment have never had a white, mexican, indian, native american, etc friend who hasn't been through some of the same things then that's why they feel that way and are ignorant to the real facts. A lot of us have enough morals to know better than this. For those who don't, and choose to sit up on the government ; they can't speak for the rest of us.

#52 you've also made some great points, but in all truth though we blacks have definitely come a long way. In my opinion we are now the most popular minority. Come on now and keep it real. If I had to go from one mall to another mall in order to see Hancock due to so many theatres selling out of tickets then that says a lot about how far we've come. Isn't it great to see that a black man has come this far to becoming president also? Btw I could only dream of being in Will Smith's shoes right now since he's so demanding as an actor. He's not the only one of us to become this sucessful anyway. Why is it that whites and blacks in general forget about the aspiring Native American, Mexican, Indian American, etc actors and actresses out there who for the most part haven't gotten to these levels of success in the U.S. ? Ofcourse there are people like George Lopez, and Carlos Mencia, but what about other ethnic people? We as black people seem to complain about what we don't have and how we are not recognized more than any other ethnic group out there, but yet we have actors like Will Smith selling 124 + million tickets at the box office. What about the other minorities? Maybe they need to try harder, but on the other hand it seems to me that a black woman can become a top model in America way faster than a woman of Chinese, Native American, Indian, Mexican, etc origin can. I am a real black woman if you by ANY chance you question that, and I have a very open mind about things and love to learn more with each passing day. That's why I am able to see things from both points of view.

#49 you're right that mall is the worst. If he shops there, then this kind of behavior is expected. There is no way I'd commit any crime in Maracopa county in the summer. I drove past Tent City and regretted things I didn't even get caught for! From what I remember he left here (east coast) amid a bunch of charges and rumors that he was on crack. His poetry is amazing considering the source...

He looks like a "2nd Story" kinda guy. The kind that likes to go down on basketball players?

#38 where are you from that blacks are 18% of the population? They are about 75% in DFW.

#47 grobpilot, you said some great things. the truth hurts.

lloyd #55- I watched the ESPYs yesterday. almost all the winners were black. should I sue for discrimination? should the government pay white athletes using tax payers money?

I just don't get it with some rappers these days. Why become even remotely successful just to turn around a break the law? This is not good at all for the black community. That's why I consider Jay Z to be the must successful African American rapper out there, well period regardless of race. Anyhow he's a smart man he started out selling cds out the back of his car, and is now a multi millinionaire. He's turned his money into more money, and is not out there in the streets getting into trouble for selling drugs or commiting other crimes. Im proud of Jay Z for that, and I can really respect that. Another example. I love Lil Wayne, but after selling over 1 million records this recent album, he goes and gets himself into trouble here in Arizona. I don't get it at all.

Sue pm me. Our problem with america is they tried to erase every drop of our culture and replaced it with their own. I can trace my family tree back 4 generations before I hit a wall of nameless faceless slaves. Every other culture on this planet has family history that extends back hundreds of years. We were "created" as unpaid workers to build this country. Mexicans, Asians, Natives, they all had it rough but they had family history, tradition, and culture to help them through. We were trained by Anglos who are the decendants of barbarians. They fought for survival for thousands of years. Fought. They even had to fight for this land. They see themselves in us and its scary because they know where were going. Their only defense is to perpetuate the propaganda and the bs.

Neegers always blame other things for their behavior. They say they're violent because they have no money. White people suffered during the depression and never acted like neegers. They never felt it gave them the right to assault people.

We are, and always will be, the parents of neegers. They certainly don't know right from wrong and they always claim it's our fault. I'm so happy that I'm not a dumb coon who blames others for my actions. I'd rather be a man and take responsibility for me and my family and not act like a savage who cries to other races for everything.

Black pride.. LOL! Is there really such a thing? If so, WHY?

John Dillinger, Bonnie and Clyde, Al Capone and the Ma Barker gang were white criminals that were prominent during the great depression and driven by poverty. Propaganda and bs. Is there one intellegent person on "the other side" of this discussion? Of course not its a Catch 22.

#60 I like Jay Z, too, but please get real, he didn't sell CD's, he sold crack and he admits to it. He got his start selling drugs, which you just claimed to be proud of him for not doing. It was a shit time for people like him growing up where he did, and he's certainly showed he made something of his life, but let's not lie to ourselves about how it happened.

#61 Lloyd, I was with you giving it back to the asshats on this thread all the way - and you had some great rebuttals - that is, right up until you started in with "they". I don't blame you for being angry about having nameless marks on a ledger as ancestors, I can't even imagine how that feels, and I don't think this country will ever get over the shame of it. But to characterize my race as "Anglos who are descended from barbarians" makes you no better than any of the jerks on this page. We're each and every one of us descendants of barbarians at some point - and since the slave trade was going on in Africa way before the Anglos caught on to it, and the people who started the traffic in human misery in the first place were Arabs and Africans, your "barbarian" remark needs some rethinking.
If you're going to lecture others on hate and intolerance, you might try to get rid of your own first. And FYI, since the great wave of immigration in this country happened in the early part of the 20th century, a huge amount of white, asian, or whatever Americans and their families alive today derived no benefit at all from slavery. Most of us are goddamn glad that we didn't, either.

It's funny how you coons always can name white criminals. They are so few and far between that they have names. You coons cause so much crime that we can't keep tabs on you. Look at any crime blotter in any city and you'll see coon crime. The crime rate in any city is proportional to how many neegers live there.

If Hawaii was full of coons it would turn into Haiti in a Month.

Guess who they'll blame?

LLoyd I understand what you're saying, but that's the past, and I've been ready for a new beginning every since I came out of the wound. This may sound crazy, but sometimes I wish black history was never taught. I say that because it's making the modern day black person angry. It would be a nasty secret, but think how it would be if we had never known about it. Im not saying we should just erase the past, but I don't want to live an angry life. I want to live a life free of opression, but I know that won't happen 100%. Im not as concerned with what happened in the past as much as Im concerned with present day racists. Isn't it a contradiction for racists white people, and let me repeat RACIST white people to tell us to move on and let the past go when they can't let the past go themselves? It has to happen on both sides. The blame is not just on the black man nor is it just on the white man.

Ok bootlips you got me!!! And you got me good. I'll admit that I can't blame any of the following on you. My clean criminal record, my being 26 with no children due to the fact that I chose to date later on in life, my wonderful healthcare career that comes along with a wonderful salary and healthcare benefits, my being with only one man in my entire life, and my going after my goals, oh and almost forgot my furthing my healthcare career. Dang it... I take the blame, and have no one to blame but myself. Darn it...can't blame it on the white man this time. Guess on into luck...oops was that suppose to read out of luck?

I am sorry if I offended you. I am not stereotyping all white people when I say they. I am also not trying to insult anyone with my statements on Anglos. I am just referring to the history of England and how violence and oppression molded the people. Black or white if you are an american that is a part of your history. We are not people who will stand by and be oppressed. That is part of the culture of this country. I am proud to be an american. The problems this country faces are not black and white. They are american problems. Without the blacks and whites we'd all be mexicans anyway! j/k

Truth be is I lookin' to hook up with some fine young white stuff and I know you fine blonde types like followin the stars. I am well hung and have been working out since my prison days. Gots 6 pack abs (not the 6 packs that white boys sport) and am buff.
Let black man show you the dark side IS the light!

wow i got hacked! I'm important!

#68 Ok, sounds good to me. Our connections with England and its rule ended long ago so I'm still trying to figure out how it's relevant here but I agree that we're a country that doesn't take well to oppression.

But #66 SueMe has a point. Unfortunately we're still a country that struggles with racism and anger and fear, no matter how much we'd like to think otherwise, and we probably always will be as long as there's pindicked pinheaded insecure fuckwads like "bootlips" who need to feel superior to someone who looks different from them in order to call themselves "men". I'm gonna be charitable and buy him a membership in the NAACP and La Raza just to show I care. Because, ya know, I really, really, do.

#70 No, kiddo, you got trolled. Still means you're important, tho. ;)

just like a fukkin nigger

Have u guys heard that he ever appeared on the wealthy dating club **R I C H L O V I N G.C O M** for hot singles to hook up for Hot Love and Sexy Dating? There are his hot photos and Lots of hot girls are found in his circle there. I've been there for day, it seems the girls are not hard to hook up.lol

#27
I'm not american, nor a racist, I just like to make fun of you people(americans, HA!). But yeah, I'd say it to your face just for amusement. And no, I'm not phisically afraid of your black ass, nigger.

Yea - what #47 said

#75 Thank you for NOT being an American, you fucking racist douchebag. TCLTC is right.

HAHAH YOU CRACKERS LOVE IT WHEN THE BROTHERS MESS UP. AT LEAST HE DID KILL HIMSELF WITH A BUNCH OF PILLS BEFORE THE SUMMERS BIGGEST MOVE EVEN CAME OUT. HAHAHA HOW STUPID IS THAT?!? TYPICAL CRACKER BEHAVIOR TO COWARDLY KILL THEMSELVES.
