A few weeks ago, DMX re-signed with Def Jam, the label that made him famous.

Last week, he was supposed to headline Def Jam's 35th-anniversary show. He bailed at the last minute.

Now we know why. Somebody on X's team used Instagram tonight to announce that X is back in rehab.

In his ongoing commitment to putting family and sobriety first, DMX has checked himself into a rehab facility. He apologizes for his cancelled shows and thanks his fans for their continued support.

"In his ongoing commitment to putting family and sobriety first, DMX has checked himself into a rehab facility. He apologizes for his cancelled shows and thanks his fans for their continued support," reads the message.

X has a long history of substance abuse.  He spent a few weeks in a New England rehab facility before spending about a year in prison for tax evasion in 2018.

Hopefully, the 48-year old will be able to finally conquer his demons this time.
