DMX has been arrested for the second time in a week, this time for trying to buy drugs from an undercover police officer.

The rapper was also arrested last Monday (June 23) on suspicion of driving without a valid licence but was later released on bail.

The star - real name Earl Simmons, who had clearly not learnt his lesson, was caught out again just four days later, as he was arrested on Friday for allegedly attempting to purchase $45 (£22.50) of cocaine and marijuana from a man, who turned out to be a cop taking part in a sting operation.

Simmons is currently being detained at Miami-Dade County jail, and he could be spending a long time there as the star’s legal woes this year are beginning to mount - he was charged with suspected drug possession and animal cruelty in May following raids on his Arizona home.

And previous to that incident he was arrested for allegedly speeding down a Phoenix, Arizona freeway in January, clocking up a reported 114 miles per hour (183 kilometres per hour).
