Poor DMX. The drug-loving, dog-abusing, gravel-voiced rapper was arrested this week for the third time since April, this time for driving with a suspended license. To make matters worse, he's also now losing possession of the Harlem townhouse he purchased for $725,000 in 2001. It seems DMX—or Earl Simmons if you prefer real names—didn't follow through on a contract to promote a line of dog products (perhaps because he was busy killing them?) and now the owner of the doggie supply company has obtained a court order to auction off the house to pay off the $281,000 DMX owes for breach of contract. The home, which has been unoccupied for a couple of years, is located at 2007 Fifth Avenue on the corner of East 124th Street. It will be auctioned off by the county sheriff's office on August 13. A tour of the property after the jump.
