DMX cannot seem to stay out of trouble. Days after being arrested on a warrant in Miami earlier this week, the rapper is arrested again -- on Friday (June 27).

According to reports, X (real name: Earl Simmons) was busted by undercover agents in a sting where they caught him in the act of buying drugs.

TMZ reports that the rapper approached an undercover narcotics officer and asked to purchase "30 powder and 15 weed" -- street slang for cocaine and marijuana. After X handed over $45, he was arrested.

He has been jailed and his bail was set at $6,000, online jail records show.

Calls to his attorney were not returned at press time.

This is the reason no one want to sign him and put albums out for him. It's the same reason why Bizzy Bone can't get signed. These dudes can't leave them drugs alone. And just think, you've got Mexicans in Juarez, Mexico cutting heads off of folks and dumping bodies into oil drums just to get the drugs across the border to the feinds. There's no business like Sno business...

The X. From day one homeboy looked like he was already crazy. Some of these fools have everything that most of us wish that we had fame,money, ect. I feel no sorrow for any of them who decide on the "street life", life style. These are adults not teens.If they haven't learned from the mistakes of others before them. Then they will learn on their own. Just keeping it real and telling it like it is.

Loved his music and the fool did some good acting in movies (at least to me) Anyway, its no doubt he at a low cuz how the hell you gonna get a good high off 30 dollars worth of coke and 15 weed. Then he just copping off the street from anybody. Come on X shake that shit. As long as he wakes up he got action so I pray for the brother...1

Uh the man is a drug addict. So he's going to keep buying drugs over again. The smart thing to do would be send him to a drug rehab facility instead.
