DMX faces seven years
The date: 29th June 2004
Rapper DMX, last seen by this writer 'acting' alongside Steven Segal, could be facing seven years in the clink following his bizarre antics at a New York airport the other day.
DMX allegedly crashed his sport-utility vehicle (that's, like, a big people carrier or something) through a parking lot gate at Kennedy Airport after telling the attendant he was a government agent; the car was kitted out with a siren and lights. Apparently, he then ordered another driver to get out of his vehicle, and when said driver refused DMX got nasty and proceeded to attempt to pull him from the vehicle. The rapper and a friend were arrested on charges of impersonating a federal agent (and, one presumes, acting bananas).
Cocaine was found in DMX's car, which may go some way to explaining his behaviour, but also adds to the severity of the charges. The pair are currently free on $15,000 bail, but if found guilty of all charges they face seven years in jail.
DMX's gig in Glasgow tonight has, obviously, been postponed.

Rapper Ja Rule fined for refusing arrest in 1996 after old warrant surfaces
Any Ja Rule fans?
_____________
NEW YORK (AP) - Rapper Ja Rule was fined this week after appearing at a Queens courthouse to answer to a 1996 warrant that surfaced when he was arrested during a Manhattan traffic stop last week.
Queens Criminal Court Judge Steven Paynter ordered Ja Rule, whose real name is Jeffrey Atkins, to pay a $100 US fine and closed the case, which involved a charge of resisting arrest.
Ja Rule and his lawyer, Renee Hill, said they had not known about the old warrant until the rapper's more recent brush with the law.
Ja Rule, 28, of Saddle River, N.J., was arrested a week ago after he was pulled over by police who saw him changing lanes without signalling. They say they found a small amount of marijuana in his possession.
He was charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana and driving with a suspended license but the drug charge was apparently dropped the same day.
The rapper pleaded guilty to driving with a suspended license and paid $550 in fines and court fees.
