Filed Monday in the Manhattan bankruptcy court, the Chapter 11 petition of Earl Simmons, aka DMX, lists less than $50,000 in assets and $1 million to $10 million in debt.

Apparently, DMX owes $1.24 million in child support and over $21,000 on an auto lease, among other things. His main asset is 50% ownership of a property in Mount Kisco, N.Y.
Domenick Nati, who represents the rapper, released a statement to Bankruptcy Beat saying:
DMX’s financial strains have been inhibiting his career for several years. Poor financial management by prior representation have caused him to be ineligible to retain a passport. The purpose of this bankruptcy filing is for reorganization so he can perform for his fans overseas. We are currently planning a tour in Europe and Africa for the fall of 2013.” ~Domenick Nati (Nati Celebrity Services)
Well, we hope everything picks back up for the rapper soon!
