DMX - real name Earl Simmons - has filed for bankruptcy for the
third time since 2009
The
46-year-old rapper reportedly owes creditors over $2 million, and filed
for Chapter 13 as an attempt to save his New York home
The
hip hop star has fathered 15 children with nine different women, which
could be part of the reason he has dealt with financial issues for over
10 years
The
documents filed allege that DMX owes $950,000 to Compass Bank, $304,796
in back child support, another $230,898 in support and $1.4 million in
family support for a total of $2,030,970.
DMX claimed he does not own any automobiles, furniture, household goods,
electronics or guns, jewelry or clothing 'worth anything
The
Party Up singer also claimed that he doesn't own stake in copyrights or
trademarks for any of his music for over a decade of his career
He listed his Mount Kisco, NY home as his only asset, worth an estimated $350k
And
though he has upcoming concerts scheduled for 2017 and was performing
as recently as Wednesday, he claims he has $0 in his bank account.
The
rapper filed for Chapter 13 once before in 2009 citing inability to pay
child support, but his request was dismissed because of Simmon's
'unreasonable delays.'
According to The Hollywood Reporter,
Simmons filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2013 and was rejected
because the rapper failed to provide trustworthy information in his
filing.
In
2015, Simmons - who has been in and out of jail since 2000 - was
arrested and ordered to serve a six-month sentence for failure to pay
child support.
