The LOX‘s Jadakiss is still ryde or die in 2018. The hip-hop veteran has shared some public support for jailed pal DMX.
Jada went to Instagram Tuesday (October 2) to salute his former Ruff Ryders leader.
Back in March, rap veteran Nas delivered a shout-out to his former Belly co-star.
The same week, X couldn’t convince a judge to let him skip out on a jail bid.
Hip-hop icon DMX blared one of his songs for a federal judge Wednesday — before being sentenced to a year in the slammer for evading $1.7 million in taxes. The 47-year-old rapper, whose real name is Earl Simmons, teared up as his lawyers played his 1998 track “Slippin,’” which talks about his “drama with my Mama” and overall feelings of helplessness. And the beats may have moved something inside Manhattan federal Judge Jed Rakoff, who rejected the government’s request for five years in federal lockup, calling Simmons “a good man” who is “his own worst enemy.” (Page Six)
X is accused of low-key avoiding taxes dating back nearly 10 years.
The 47-year-old performer, whose top songs include “X Gon Give it to Ya” and “Party Up (Up in Here),” stood accused of hiding money from the IRS from 2010 to 2016 — largely by maintaining a “cash lifestyle.” (New York Daily News)
