Rapper DMX (born Earl Simmons) was arrested twice this week for drug and animal cruelty charges.

The wanna be thugster(pictured above - butt ugly, huh?) evidently had a lot of marijuana (likely intended for resale), guns and malnutritioned dogs in his home when cops raided it early Friday morning.

The funniest part about the whole raid is that the pansy barracaded himself in a room as cops rushed into his home. Not so tough when you're hiding in the closet, huh?

Authorities had a search warrant stemming from indictments on charges of felony drug possession and misdemeanor animal cruelty. DMX posted $7,500 bond and was released later on Friday.

Cops say they have taken their time on the investigations to get all of the facts straight. They were evidently waiting on tests to return proving that the animals had not been taken care of properly. Simmons told authorities his neighbor was caring for the dogs. Cops found that the neighbor had stopped feeding the dogs, because DMX wasn't sending money for food.

DMX posted $7,500 bond and was released later on Friday. On Saturday, he was inducted into our Stupid Bitches Club.
