Rapper DMX: Obama Who?!

Posted Mar 17th 2008 12:19PM by TMZ Staff

DMXApparently DMX is not only crazy as the day is long, but he's also living on another planet.

The rapper did a bizarre interview recently with XXL, where he claims he has never heard of anyone named Barack Obama! He then proceeded to make fun of Obama's name -- because the name DMX is clearly ingenious.

DMX continued digging a hole for himself, saying he hasn't followed the presidential race at all and that "The president is a puppet anyway. The president don't make no damn decisions."

Lucky for the rest of the America, DMX revealed he's not allowed to vote because he's a convicted felon.

Calls to DMX's rep for a statement were not returned.

31. What's up with Obama's purple lips? Must be a sign of no experience. All sizzle and no steak and can't answer a serious question without hiding

32. Convicted felons can still vote. A law was passed that gives felons their rights back after their release (except the right to own a gun). Even most convicts don't know and it's posted in every prison.

34. Why is this news & why are they asking DMX of all ppl to comment on the presidential candidates? & I find it comical that they posted a picture of DMX all sweaty... that was just lame! TMZ is having a slowwwww month.

35. While it is plausible that Rapper DMX does not know who Barack Obama is, that photo you have is NOT DMX. I don't know who that is!!

36. Yeah, LUCKILY felons can't vote. Wouldn't it be terrible to live in a real democracy? I still can't believe he doesn't know Obama but he's smart enough to recognize that the prez dont make any real radical change anyway. Save your retaliation and go check out "A People's History of the United States" or "Great Wells of Democracy" before you get back to me. Thanks!
