Imprisoned rapper DMX has filed a lawsuit against a company he claims ripped him off for $1 million in royalties.
The troubled star filed suit against Rich Kid Entertainment in Manhattan Superior Court on Monday charging that the entertainment company pocketed 100% of the funds from a contract signed a decade ago that was only supposed to provide X a 10% cut.
The suit claims DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, didn’t even become aware of the “fraudulent acts” until last year.
“DMX has sold over 30 million albums worldwide and has had No. 1 singles and albums on the Billboard charts, which in turn have generated a great amount of revenue for Defendants, but has left [DMX] with nothing,” the suit reads. “From 2000 through 2008, Simmons was in and out of jail and changed representatives numerous times.”
The former Ruff Ryders honcho is currently in the Maricopa County Jail in Arizona after a bust for drugs, theft, and animal cruelty in February.
