 Rapper DMX pleaded guilty to multiple charges on Tuesday (December 30) in a Phoenix courtroom, as a part of a plea deal where additional charges were dropped.
According to the Associated Press, X (real name: Earl Simmons) pleaded guilty to one count of animal cruelty, one count of theft, and one count each of felony possession of marijuana and a narcotic drug.
The rapper will be sentenced during a hearing on January 30.
TMZ reports that X is expected to receive a minimum 90 days in jail, and will receive no credit for time served.
The theft charge stems from an April arrest for allegedly using a fake name when being treated at a Scottsdale hospital. He was indicted on felony charges of theft and taking someone's identity.
The animal cruelty charge stems from an August 2007 raid of his Arizona home by Maricopa County sheriff's deputies. Authorities investigating a report of animal abuse found three dead dogs, guns, ammunition and drug paraphernalia.
