DMX is charged with drink-driving offence in America
- Published
Rapper DMX has been arrested in the American state of South Carolina and charged with driving under the influence.
Jail officials in Greenville County say the 42-year-old, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was arrested early on Friday morning.
He was also charged with not having a driving licence.
Simmons was arrested last year in nearby Spartanburg County on suspicion of driving without a licence.
In that case, he was released after paying a fine.
Records show the rapper has since been released from jail.
Simmons was arrested in a Phoenix suburb in 2011 after police clocked him driving at 102mph (164km/h).
He had recently finished a stint in prison after his probation was revoked for failing to submit to drug testing and driving without a licence.
DMX released his seventh studio album, Undisputed, last year.
