DMX arrested at a mall

If you’ve ever been so broke that you can’t pay your bills, then you can probably relate to DMX.

The rapper, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was arrested July 19 at a Phoenix mall accused of giving a false name and social security in an attempt to try to get out of paying his hospital bills.

A county sheriff claims that when the superstar went to a Mayo clinic in Arizona, he used the name Troy Jones and failed to pay his bill after he left which was $7,500.

I’m not one to judge because on several occasions I’ve been in situations where I can’t afford to pay my bills.

Of course I’ve never made up a fake name and social security. However, if you can’t afford to pay a medical bill, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

As long as it wasn’t someone else’s social security number, I can’t judge him too harshly.
