Reportedly, DMX was creating accounts in other people’s names and paying personal expenses mostly in cash in order to evade taxes, per a story by The Hollywood Reporter.

DMX was taken into custody on Thursday after turning himself in. He is scheduled to go before a judge on Friday.

The charges were brought against him by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York and by the Internal Revenue Service.

46-year-old DMX was charged with 14 counts, including “one count of corruptly endeavoring to obstruct and impede the due administration of Internal Revenue Laws, one count of evasion of payment of income taxes, six counts of evasion of assessment of income tax liability, and six counts of failure to file a U.S. individual income tax return.”
