DMX Does the Right Thing; Checks into Rehab and Cancels Tonight’s ‘Rolling Loud’ Performance

*As Clint Eastwood famously said in one of his “Dirty Harry” movies, “a man must know his own limitations.” And so it with DMX.

The troubled rapper canceled his upcoming shows because his addiction struggles have forced him back into rehab, according to TMZ.

“In his ongoing commitment to putting family and sobriety first, DMX has checked himself into a rehab facility,” X’s team said. “He apologizes for his canceled shows and thanks his fans for their continued support.”

DMX was scheduled to perform Saturday at the reunion concert for Three 6 Mafia in Memphis and Day 2 of Rolling Loud in New York on Sunday. Both appearances have been canceled. The Ying Yang Twins replaced X Saturday night.

Here’s more via TMZ:

DMX has had a long, difficult struggle with addiction. He’s been jailed numerous times in the past over drug-related offenses and has spent time throughout the years in rehab.

X was released from prison in January after serving time for tax evasion. Just before his release, he talked about how badly he wanted to see his youngest son, 3-year-old Exodus Simmons, who at the time had serious health problems. X has 15 kids.

He also said he was getting offers from movie producers for a biopic.
