DMX, a.k.a. Earl Simmons, was hospitalized on Tuesday and issued with an arrest warrant.

The rapping Ruff Ryder missed a court date in Phoenix, AZ because of his hospitalization. However, the judge said the documentation of his hospitalization was insufficient and issued the arrest warrant.

It is unclear why DMX was hospitalized. DMX was arrested twice in June for driving without a valid driver’s license and attempting to buy cocaine and marijuana from undercover police.

“We are in court again next week on other matters, and my hope is we can get the warrant resolved by then and get back on track. We have some things in the works to get the warrant taken care of. My hope is that we can resolve it without an arrest,” Charles Kozelka, a public defender representing DMX told MTV News.
