Since making music industry history by being the first artist to have five consecutive number one albums on the Billboard Top 200 charts, DMX has battled with staying out of trouble with the law.
After serving half of his 18 month probation, the former Def Jam Records superstar has found a way to find himself back in jail.
The 39 year-old rapper (real name: Earl Simmons) was arrested in Arizona on March 9 for allegedly violating his probation by using drugs, including cocaine.
This marks the fifth time the MC has been arrested by deputies in Phoenix.
The 'Belly' actor previously served a 90-day sentence for felony convictions including cruelty to animals, theft and two drug counts and was released from jail in May.
In other news, DMX's wife Tashera Simmons is planning on writing a tell-all book about her life with the 'Where My Dogs At' rapper. The book, titled 'Strength of Woman,' plays on the title of DMX's short-lived 2006 reality series 'DMX: Soul of a Man.' The couple, who have been married since 1999, have withstood DMX's off-again, on-again jail terms, not to mention several child paternity suits.
According to her rep, the book will highlight "her account of survival and family strength in a chaotic life and the fame that came with that life."
Tashera Simmons previously appeared on the VH1 reality show 'Gotti's Way' as a friend of music mogul Irv Gotti's wife, Deb.

X needs to leave Arizona. The cops seem not to like him very well there. They seem to be looking for reasons to lock him up. He is also kind of dumb for not leaving that state either. His last interview he said he had enough and was going to leave the state, but he is still living there. X is hurting himself by not wising up and jeting from that state. What is up with all these damn wives writing these damn tell all books? I mean why put your business out ther like that? Don't they have respect for their family to not share that kind of information with the public. I've read X has had many kids out of wedlock,and that is very wrong, but it is very stupid to tell everyone about it. Do she think that her staying with him through like the 9 kids he has had shows strenght? To me it shows stupidty. Hope they both find happiness.
