DMX will be forced to pay up after a court judgment decided the rapper did not fulfill contractual obligations to promote a canine clothing line.
According to the Associated Press, Manhattan state Supreme Court Justice Jane Goodman ruled that X, whose real name is Earl Simmons, be required to pay Amusing Diversions Inc. $242,000. The company, named after X's dog Boomer 129, produced and marketed a line of dog clothing, that included caps, scarves, raincoats and bomber jackets.
The ruling was the result of the rapper's failure to promote the line on television, at concerts and at other live appearances as previously dictated by his contract. Additionally, DMX caused substantial damage to the plaintiff by publicizing competitors, the court said.
In the July 25 ruling, the court added that X had repeatedly ignored court proceedings and orders and that his attorney had been excused at the rapper's request.
