DMX’s House Raided

The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office received a tip that dogs were being kept in inhumane conditions at his Phoenix, AZ home. DMX was not at home at the time and no arrests were made.

The detectives visited the home and called one of DMX’s lawyers and told him that the conditions for the animals at the property need to improve or they would take action. The dogs were not being fed or given water. DMX has not been home for the past couple of months and had a caretaker for the dogs that wasn’t doing his job.
