According to Billboard, Federal Judge Jed Rakoff played the song “Slippin” in court at the rapper’s request.
DMX who plead guilty last year for tax-evasion charges had engaged in a multi-year scheme to avoid paying $1.7 million in taxes, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of New York.
The scheme included mostly using cash for all transactions and avoiding using a bank account in his name, even as he toured and sold records.
In court, the 47-year-old admitted to breaking the law saying, “I wasn’t following the rules, I was in a cloud.”
The judge said that in the court’s view DMX “is a good man. In many ways, he’s his own worst enemy.”
