“I jaywalk, and it’s in the news. You’re talking international news,” said DMX. “That’s a good thing. That means people still care.”

The man born Earl Simmons became a household name in 1998 when he released two #1 albums in the same calendar year. Over the last decade, the New York native has been more well known for run-ins with the law. DMX also spoke about dealing with being famous.

“The only thing I hate about being famous – you never know who really loves you,” added X. “If their love never gets tested, you’ll never know.”
