An arrest warrant for has been issued for DMX (Earl Simmons) by White Plains, New York, City Court Judge Barbara Leak after the rapper failed to appear in court Wednesday (June 28) to face a number of bad-driving charges.

The judge, who had granted a pair of postponements in the case, said, “We have granted him a number of courtesies. It ends now.”

The rapper’s lawyer, Stacey Murray, promised that DMX would appear in court Thursday (June 29). She said that the rapper had flown from Arizona to New York in order to appear before the court, but took ill.

DMX was pulled over in White Plains earlier this month for speeding and making unsafe lane changes. He was not wearing a seatbelt when stopped and did not have a driver’s license. Nine days after being stopped in White Plains, he was ticketed for driving his car on the shoulder of the Hutchinson River Parkway in Harrison, New York.
