 DMX down again

“He in effect said, ‘Judge, trust me.’ I will have a drug counselor,” Rakoff said. “That was a great big lie ... He said, in effect, ‘screw you.'"

DMX, 47, took two puffs of an  asthma inhaler, removed his shoelaces and emptied his pockets of a wad of cash and other papers. Then U.S. Marshals took him into custody sporting a white t-shirt  with a smiley face and peace sign.

Prior to the  hearing DMX had appeared stressed, but at its conclusion he was stone-faced.

He’ll likely  remain in custody until his sentencing on March 28, meaning at least three upcoming tour dates will be canceled.

DMX pleaded  guilty in November to $1.7 million tax fraud, which carries a maximum of five years in prison.

As part of his case, DMX was ordered to attend a drug  treatment program.
