DMX can’t catch a break. Latest news, buddy is being sued for $1 Million for backing out of the celebrity boxing match scheduled to take place next month in Alabama.
As previously reported, DMX was originally scheduled to fight boxer/actor Eric Martinez during an event titled “Alabama Pride,” promoted by Thunder Promotions. DMX backed out of the fight when Thunder Promotions allegedly refused to fix the fight or guarantee DMX’s safety. DMX’s abrupt cancellation left promoters scurrying to find a replacement. Who did they choose, COOLIO! WTF?
According to Coolio, he has no plans to fix the fight or to even lose the contest. “I’ve been doing martial arts for 18 years…somebody [is] gonna get knocked the f**k out,” Coolio exclaimed to radio host Angela Yee during an interview last week. “Coolio don’t take a** whoopin’s well. I’ll tell you what, if I get into trouble, you gonna know because it’s gonna go from boxing to f**king wrestling and choking because I hate to lose.”

Thunder Promotions filed the $1 million dollar lawsuit against DMX in Birmingham County Court on Friday (November 20th). Thunder Promotions claims DMX’s cancellation has caused them hundreds and thousands of dollars and damages. As you may recall, DMX also owes Uncle Sam (IRS) $1.5 Million in back taxes. Hmmm DMX is a hot mess. Sad!
