Today TMZ released footage of DMX (real name Earl Simmons) running naked through a Detroit Hotel, and now the troubled rapper’s representative has quickly rushed out an official statement addressing the incident.

The statement said:

DMX was a Detroit hotel with his DJ (DJ NonStop) and his road manager (Montana) before his performance with Eve and Lil Kim on August 31st. X and the team were killing time at the hotel before the concert and dared each other to streak in the hallway. No one was aware that security cameras were rolling and it was just a playful dare between friends.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.

This is hilarious!

First of all did they really need to release an official statement explaining this nonsense?

And secondly why are grown men in their thirties/forties daring each other to run naked through a hotel and actually doing it? Isn’t this the kind thing drunk young men in their late teens do?

Bizarre.
