DMX, 40, who was scheduled to be released from prison on Wednesday, will remain behind bars because the embattled rapper tested positive for drugs, according to CNN. His release date has tentatively been pushed to July 19.
Law enforcement officials tell TMZ.com that DMX, real name Earl Simmons, violated a number of rules while serving time in the Yuma State Prison. He was cited for seven disciplinary infractions including drug possession, failing or refusing a drug test, unauthorized smoking, being disrespectful and disorderly conduct.
DMX had served seven months for a probation violation following an arrest in November for failing to check in with his probation officer.
Gary Jenkins, DMX's lawyer, told MTV News that he is still looking into the allegations and is hopeful that his client will get the help he needs.
"I hope that this time he understands that his addiction can't be dealt with privately," Jenkins added.
