News: DMX Busted In Drug Sting

By: Brandi Hopper

DMX is as it again. Just days after being arrested for driving dirty in Miami, the troubled rapper was caught in a drug sting last week.

X (born Earl Simmons) was brought down in a stealth narcotics investigation when he tried to cop cocaine and marijuana from an undercover, according to TMZ. He asked for "30 powder and 15 weed," and handed over $45 cash before the Miami-Dade officer took him down.

X was just cuffed June 23 for driving with a suspended license, one of several traffic violations for the rapper as of late.

He was hit with seven misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty and four felony drug possession charges on May 9 and on May 7, charges of racing on a highway, reckless driving, two counts of endangerment, three counts of criminal speed and driving on a suspended license.
