Rapper DMX has been arrested after police claimed to find drugs in the truck he was riding in.
The vehicle was stopped by cops over an improper lane change and on inspecting the car they claimed to find three bags of cannabis inside.
Reports claim DMX – real name Earl Simmons - was furious with the officers and is caught on video appearing to rant that he was set up.
In documents obtained by the TMZ website he is described as smelling "like he was drunk and was in possession of weed at the time of the arrest”.
But the rapper's publicist told the Mirror: "No drugs were found on DMX or the other passengers and the alleged bags of marijuana were never shown to DMX or the other passengers."
The spokesman added: "DMX was in the passenger seat when the vehicle he was in was pulled over.
"Although officers pulled them over for a minor traffic violation, DMX was asked to step outside so they could search the vehicle.
"Officers then claimed that they found bags of marijuana in the floorboard and arrested X.
"DMX was released this morning at approximately 11am EST and is back at his home in South Carolina."
