Rapper Lil Scrappy stabbed ...DMX locked up again

Rapper Lil Scrappy was injured and arrested Friday night (July 18) in DeKalb County, Georgia. According to local news channel WSBTV2, the incident took place at around 7 p.m. in an apartment complex in Stone Mountain, Georgia. Reports said that the 24-year-old rapper (real name: Darryl Richardson) had received a call from his sister who said she had gotten into an argument with her boyfriend. This is when authorities said Scrappy went to his sister's apartment, and became involved in an altercation with his sister's boyfriend, and ended up getting stabbed. He's ok though. Scrappy was listed in stable condition Saturday. That's not all the bad news for Scrappy though. He was also arrested, as mentioned earlier. When police arrived on the scene, they took the rapper into custody and charged him with felony possession of marijuana, felony possession of a firearm/knife, battery and obstruction of officers. As of Saturday afternoon (July 19), Scrappy remained in jail. Although a bail amount of $1,500 was issued for the misdemeanor battery and obstruction charges, an amount was not determined for the felony drug and gun charges. Props to BallerStatus... I guess that's why they called him "Lil Scrappy". Rapper DMX was arrested in a Phoenix on Saturday (July 19) for an incident in April, when he alleged gave false information to get out of paying a hospital bill. In April, the 37-year-old rapper (real name: Earl Simmons) allegedly checked into an Arizona hospital for treatment of chest pains and shortness of breath. During his stay at the Mayo Clinic, he allegedly used the name Troy Jones, and gave a false address and social security number, which he later said he provided the info to avoid paying the bill. That incident has come back to haunt him, and he was picked up this Saturday. "He's back in jail again," Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio told the AP. "I don't know why judges keep letting this guy out. Every time he goes in there, he gets out on bond ... I'm hoping this is the one time he's going to pay the penalty for his offense." At press time, a bond had not been set in the recent arres
