DMX has canceled shows because his addiction struggles have forced him back into rehab.

DMX's team says, "In his ongoing commitment to putting family and sobriety first, DMX has checked himself into a rehab facility. He apologizes for his cancelled shows and thanks his fans for their continued support."

The New York-born rapper was scheduled to perform Saturday at the reunion concert for Three 6 Mafia in Memphis and Day 2 of Rolling Loud in New York on Sunday. Both appearances have been canceled. The Ying Yang Twins replaced X Saturday night.

DMX has had a long, difficult struggle with addiction. He's been jailed numerous times in the past over drug-related offenses and has spent time throughout the years in rehab.

X was released from prison in January after serving time for tax evasion. Just before his release, he talked about how badly he wanted to see his youngest son, 3-year-old Exodus Simmons, who at the time had serious health problems. X has 15 kids.

He also said he was getting offers from movie producers for a biopic.

FUCK. He looked and sounded so good in the GQ video. This dude was the very first musician I respected. There is nothing I want more than to see him beat this.

Not sure what drug he has a problem with but some can be harder to beat than others.

It was crack for a long time, so probably still that. It's kind of insane how he can still come back down to earth at times after fighting this addiction for so long. His spirit has as lot of fight in it.

Crack is probably one of the hardest, right behind heroine and meth

Yeah. If I get cut off my pain meds, Im at risk to be lead to heroine but I doubt Id do that my family. Id most likely just go through the misery of my pain until things get better. Or they won't. Either way it beats putting my family through that.

IIRC it was developed to be cheaper to make and more addictive than powder cocaine.

I don't know his situation of course but he's got to surround himself with sober people - at least one of whom can tell him 'no'. Celebrities can have a lot of enablers and 'yes' people.
