Why can’t they just let DMX be great!? A Phoenix high school has pulled the plug on church fundraiser that had booked DMX to perform this weekend. According to TMZ, the “gospel rap extravaganza” to benefit Morning Star Sanctified Church in Glendale was scrapped when Independence High School — where the event was being hosted — realized that the trouble-prone rapper would be involved.
DMX is barking for the Lord. The often incarcerated X is praising the Man Upstairs by headlining a “gospel rap extravaganza” at his church in Glendale, Arizona.
The rapper, born Earl Simmons, is scheduled to take the stage at the Morning Star Sanctified Church, where he and his family have been members for the past eight months. DMX wanted to participate in the event to raise money for building repairs, says Pastor Barbara King.
Tickets for the show, which he’s doing for free, range from $35-$40. Event organizers are “ amping up security because they’re unsure of what kind of crowd the convicted felon will draw,” according to TMZ.com.
DMX has been slammed with a $1million lawsuit by Thunder Productions after pulling out of a highly publicized boxing match with actor Eric Martinez.
Earlier this month, the troubled rapper ditched plans to appear in the Dec. 12 matchup after the promotion company refused to honor the clause in his contract which stated: “Event Promoter and Management agree that (DMX) is scheduled to win Boxing Challenge.”
Thunder Productions have inked a deal with “Gangsta’s Paradise” rapper Coolio, who will replace X in bout.
DMX is a free man. The 37-year-old hip-hop star, whose real name Earl Simmons, was released from an Arizona prison on Wednesday afternoon.
