Rapper DMX Ordered to Pay $1.5 Million Dollars

The rapper DMX has been ordered by a judge to pay over $1.5 million dollars to the mother of his child after he didn’t show up to court to defend himself against allegations of defamation. He was being sued by a woman named Monique Wayne for defamation of character after he told a magazine that Wayne raped him while at a Baltimore hotel in 2003, which caused her to get pregnant. Wayne then filed a $6 million dollar lawsuit against DMX in October of 2006. The judge ruled in favor of Wayne when DMX didn’t show up to court. He is ordered to pay her $518,400 in compensation and $1 million dollars in punitive penalties.
