DMX Threatens to Beat Up His Jailers

Posted Feb 9th 2009 4:33PM by TMZ Staff

DMXDMX is officially on "lockdown status" in Arizona's Tent City Jail for one of the dumbest moves an inmate can make -- dude threatened to fight the guards.

After X failed to report for his medication, officials say the former platinum rapper began cussing at officers and threatened to "assault somebody to get some respect."

DMX was immediately thrown into lockdown and punished with a "special diet that is a form of bread and water."

It all started when he refused to report for work, telling officers, "I already have a job and don't need this (expletive)."

Sounds like he's finally reforming...

16. Hey my brother is just researching a role for another prison movie, this time they break out of one. I am sure if you take a wide shot you will find Steven Segal in the background.

Keep those masterful movies coming DMX.

18. I guess being a rapper doesn't show much intelligence. Obviously. Being a rapper is the only job he can get. And he wants respect? Why not earn it like everyone else? The guy's a sorry loser.

23. I respect his resistance to the torture that jail is. It is not punishment, it is torture.

26. (15. aww poor baby. instead of the bread & water thing he should be fed the nutraloaf . it's a whole lot worse.
we take all kinds of leftovers, grind them up then make these little loaves for the ones in lock down.
he should be stripped to his undies, no mat to sleep on , no blanket nada.

27. Good for him. Prison guards are just rent a cops (losers that didn’t make it in the Academy). Even the ones that made it thorough are still losers & that’s why they became cops in the first place.

28. I used to work at $th ave jail where the inmates go into solitary. What he gets to eat as punishment is called "the loaf" its given 2 times a day and it consists of hamburger meat with vegies and fruit cooked into it and the outter part is a hard bread (its all cooked together). The water is straight from the water fountain in the cell. He is allowed out of the cell one hour a day. They aren't allowed much else. Living in the tents is a lot better than in the jail itself....there is more freedom. What a dumb move for him to make.
