Earlier this week, a video surfaced the web showing DMX looking bewildered while running naked in the hallway of a hotel where he was staying. Many people automatically assumed that DRUGS was the main factor. It’s no secret that rapper, DMX continues to battle with his personal demons, and the road to change just seems far fetched. DMX [real name Earl Simmons] made it no secret that his “drug addiction” is a result of his childhood upbringing and abandonment from his mother. As DMX grew into adulthood, he still found himself ALONE although he appeared to have it all [ successful music career, fame, money, and a beautiful family]. In recent years we’ve watched DMX’s career and personal life crumble in front of of eyes despite his bold admissions [about his infidelities and fathering children outside of his marriage] in his very own reality show, Dr. Drew’s ‘Celebrity Rehab‘ show, and Iyanla’s “Fix My Life” show but DMX just can’t seem to kick his habit.
DMX says that the recent hotel incident was ‘dare prank’ from friends and he had no idea that camera’s were present. A rep of X told Allhiphop:
“X and the team were killing time at the hotel before the concert and dared each other to streak in the hallway. No one was aware that security cameras were rolling and it was just a playful dare between friends.”
DMX also called into TMZ and said:
“felt like” stripping off, adding, “I’m not ashamed of anything I got.”
While this incident was no drug related, new reports confirm that DMX will be appearing on the Dr. Phil show to discuss his demons in depth among other aspects of his life surrounding his childhood. The interview is scheduled for Monday [Sept. 16th] and will air shortly thereafter.
There you have it folks!
