By -


DMX was reportedly arrested outside Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Friday night over allegations of unpaid child support.

A spokesman for the New York County Sheriff’s Office told WPIX-TV the 44-year-old rapper, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was taken into custody for “several issues outstanding.”

Those reportedly included an arrest warrant issued in Erie County for $400,000 in unpaid child support, another warrant from the city of White Plains for bail jumping and a robbery complaint out of Newark, New Jersey. No charges have been filed in the Newark case, according to the Associated Press.  

DMX had been scheduled to perform at the Masters of Ceremony concert at Radio City on Friday.

The rapper has a long history of legal trouble, including arrests for alleged animal cruelty, reckless driving and drug possession.

Calls to the New York County Sheriff’s Office were not immediately returned Saturday. EW has also reached out to reps for the rapper seeking comment.

David De Gea has informed Manchester United that he wishes to join Real Madrid, Goal can reveal. The Red Devils must now determine whether to sell De Gea this summer or to hold the Spain international to the final year of his contract, losing him on a free transfer at the end of next season. The attraction of playing for Spain’s biggest football club combined with the opportunity to return to his home city and residence of his girlfriend were significant factors in De Gea’s decision to leave the Premier League. United’s handling of the 24-year-old in recent years – including Louis van Gaal’s instruction that the club hold off on the offer of a new contract last summer until the incoming manager had time to work with De Gea in person – facilitated Madrid’s approach.
