GREER, SC — Rapper DMX has been arrested and charged with driving under the influence.

Jail officials say the 42-year-old, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was arrested early yesterday. He was also charged with not having a driver’s license.

Simmons was arrested last year in nearby Spartanburg County for suspicion of driving without a license. In that case, he was released after paying a fine.

Jail records show Simmons has been released.

Simmons was arrested in a Phoenix suburb in 2011 after a trooper clocked him driving at 102 mph. He had recently finished a stint in prison on probation revocation for failing to submit to drug testing and driving without a license.
