X Gonna Give It To Ya

DMX will be released from prison tomorrow. The legendary rapper was sentenced to prison back in March of 2018 for tax fraud. He pleaded guilty much earlier in the fall of 2017 but you know how the justice system works, so they sentenced him in March.

According to Vulture, DMX had actually been locked up in January due to Oxycodone and Cocaine usage. At the time he was given court-ordered drug treatments and because he was skipping out on those, he was put in prison.

DMX was originally supposed to be released on January 27th, but there is a clause that states prisoners who are scheduled to be released on the weekend, can be eligible to be released a couple days earlier.

A policy document on the matter says: “Whenever possible, inmates will be released on the last preceding weekday if their projected release date falls on a weekend or legal holiday.”

Prosecutors originally wanted to give DMX a four to five-year sentence, but his attorneys were able to make a deal to make sure he only serves a year in prison. He will be on probation for 3 years when he gets out of prison.
