According to dailymailoline, his original release date was supposed to be Sunday but federal policy states that inmates should be released earlier if the date falls on a weekend.
His release from jail is coming nearly 10 months after he was sentenced to a year in jail and three more of supervised release in New York City.
DMX’s laywer, Murray Richman had pleaded with the court that it was better if DMX was free, as he’d better be equipped to take care of his 15 kids and repay the $2 million in back taxes he’s on the hook for.
The New York native was in custody beginning January 2018 after a failed drug test while out on bond – told the judge that he ‘was in a cloud’ and not ‘following the rules’ in the time that paved the path to the tax violation, acknowledging that he’s too old to be making these types of mistakes.
After his release from jail, the rapper/cum actor headed straight to a local spot where he had breakfast with his fiancee, Desiree and their son, Exodus Simmons.
