DMX rapper's photo surfaces as he makes his 1-year bid in jail

In one of the many tragedies of hip-hop (and there have been many), the rapper DMX, arguably one of the best, s & rsquo; Is personally and professionally impaired

Earlier this year, X (real name Earl Simmons) was sentenced to one year in prison after pleading guilty to a charge of federal tax evasion. Worth $ 1.7 million to the government. He was sentenced to pay $ 2.29 million in back taxes

Now, a photo of a rapper during his sentence surfaced.

In the photo, X swings a beard of salt and pepper and a little belly many others 47 years old. He looks healthy, however, and grabs the hand of another unidentified detainee with locks.

The photo first appeared on the Jasmine brand, considered one of the first views since his incarceration in January 2018.
