DMX’s sobriety was short-lived as the rapper has been sent back to jail in Manhattan earlier today January 31.
DMX was taken into custody for failing a series of drug tests after he was sentenced to a stint in a New Hampshire rehab in as his tax evasion trial looms.
According to reports, DMX had opioids, cocaine, and oxycodone in his system, an obvious breach of the terms of his release, which had been going well.
The rapper was granted leave from rehab to perform in several states along with a 24-hour sobriety coach, but it seems even this could not help DMX, born Earl Simmons.
The judge has branded the rap star as a flight risk, and he is currently being held without bail.
“I’m saddened and disappointed. We’ll have to deal with it accordingly,” DMX’s lawyer Murray Richman said in a statement.
