Rapper DMX just can't seem to get it together. He was arrested Monday (June 23) in Miami on a warrant for not having a valid driver's license.

According to the Associated Press, the 37-year-old rapper (real name: Earl Simmons) was picked up Monday afternoon at around 1:30 p.m. for the warrant.

X was being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on Monday afternoon, as of 5:30 p.m.

His bond is set at $500.

As of late, the rapper has been in and out of the news for a string of arrests. The most recent came in early May when he was officially charged with suspicion of drug possession and animal cruelty, following a seven-month investigation in which police discovered 12 pitbulls, described as "distressed," during raids of his Arizona home.

He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Days before, he was arrested after traffic cameras caught him speeding down a Phoenix freeway at 114 mph ... in January. He was charged with reckless driving, two counts of endangerment, three counts of speeding and driving on a suspended license.

Ayo, DMX wuz da Grand Champ now he lookin like the biggest loss hip hop got in the last couple of yrz (R.I.P. PIMP C). He let it get to his head, when he stopped focusing on recording he got sidetracked. Personally I ain't fitting to buy his release because, Yr of the Dog:again was whack and dat alone proves my point. Lord Gimme a sign, or better yet increase this fools I.Q. Once I looked up to em, now he's no more than a chump with a few plaqs on the wall...oh hold ain't he sell those?
