DMX arrested for identity theft

July 20th, 2008 // 78 Comments

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.”

    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?

  3. #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.

  4. #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…

  6. sharpeidude

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

  7. SlowMonkey

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

  8. oh puuuuulease lloyd

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

  9. just a thought

    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?

  10. 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?

  13. lloyd johnson

    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.

  15. bootlips

    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?

  16. 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.

  17. 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!

  20. lloyd johnson

    wow i got hacked! I’m important!

  21. ambidextrous handjob

    #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.

  22. ambidextrous handjob

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