Jermaine Dupri Says DMX Used Dog To Rob Music Journalist
Jermaine Dupri is revealing an incident that he says happened during the late 1990s between DMX and a reporter for The Source Magazine.
In a video clip posted to his Instagram account, the So So Def founder and legendary producer told the story about how the Yonkers rap legend robbed the journalist using his dog.
“One night when I was working on my album, Life in 1472, I was heading to the studio for the DMX session,” JD said in a clip posted over the weekend. “I was going to the studio in New York to hear DMX do his verse [for “Get Your S**t Right”].” The producer continued, “So it goes like this: the session was whatever time it was. The writer gets to the studio before DMX, then DMX shows up. At this time, DMX is walking around with his dogs, and he got both dogs. But by the time I got to the studio, the reporter had gotten robbed.”

Dupri concluded: “DMX basically robbed the reporter with his dog. No guns, just his dog. DMX came in and started questioning the reporter and told him to run his s**t, take off whatever he had on.”
DMX was on the final version of Life in 1472 on the track “Get Your S**t Right,” featuring Madd Rapper. The Source was the preeminent hip-hop magazine at the time.
In the post’s comments, Fabolous noted: "Honestly if you’ve ever really been around DMX, you have a wild DMX story. Long Live the Legend DMX.”
