Mount Kisco rapper DMX took another hit last in the courthouse last Wednesday, when he lost a court case against Amusing Diversions, Inc., the company he partnered with to create a line of dog clothes. Named after X’s own puppy, Boomer 129, the clothing label—which makes caps, scarves, raincoats, and bomber jackets … for dogs—hasn’t been selling so well. Part of the reason, the plaintiffs said, is that the artist formerly known as Earl Simmons didn’t want to promote the clothes on TV, in concert, or at other venues.
Honestly, can you really blame him? With two warrants still out for his arrest, I wouldn’t want to be seen in public either (whether promoting merchandise or doing just about anything else). Anyway, the judge ordered DMX to pay $242,000. Part of the reason for the harsh penalty: DMX repeatedly ignored court proceedings and orders.
It’s not all bad news for the rapper, though. According to AllHipHop, he’s currently shooting the action film Jump Out Boys opposite Kris Kristofferson in Louisiana. The movie follows the adventures of two escaped convicts. Somebody give that casting director a big fat bonus!
