It's no secret that DMX leads a quite entertaining life, some may even call it an unstable one. Time and time again the rapper has been caught up in headlines for unpredictable antics and one time, it almost cost the rapper his life. The roller coaster of a life led by the rapper is a scary one, and sadly in the news just about every other week.

Back in February, hip-hop almost lost the rap veteran when he stopped breathing outside of a hotel in Yonkers N.Y. after allegedly ingesting a white powder. The rapper has also been battling over child support for the majority of the last year. He was sentenced to six months in jail back in July for child support but freed after only two months on the condition that he didn't know he owed the money. X was arrested again two months later for missing payments owed to Tashera Simmons, the rapper's ex-wife. It's a depressingly sad cycle as the rapper once even owed over $1 million in back child support.

Although he's a father to over 10 kids, the rapper just can't seem to turn down. Once on top of the world, the dog can't seem to shake his destructive habits. From impersonations to arrests, the rapper's rap sheet is literally filled beyond belief. Looking back over those moments, XXL presents "DMX's Craziest Moments."

In July of 2014, DMX hopped on an amusement park ride while in Orlando. The results are unsurprisingly amazing as X absolutely freaks out before, during, and after the ride.

In 2000, DMX had an illegitimate child while still on good terms with his estranged wife Tashera Simmons. After paternity tests proved the child to be his, years later, DMX explained that he didn't cheat on his wife, he was raped. "She raped me," the rapper told Sister2Sister magazine. "I mean, you know, that might sound like some bullshit. No man has ever been-- you know what I mean, like never? Is that the only thing in the world that's not possible?," the rapper bizarrely said in defense of the adultery allegations.

TMZ came across security camera footage of the rapper running naked through a hallway in a Detroit hotel. The clip finds DMX in his boxer shorts, later removing them and going for a brief jog to the elevator.

In 2008, DMX had some comments for the then candidate, now president, Barack Obama. After being asked,"You know there's a black guy running, Barack Obama." The rapper responded, "His name is Barack?!... What the fuck is a Barack?! Barack Obama. Where he from, Africa?... What the fuck?! That ain't no fuckin' name, yo. That ain't that n****'s name. You can't be serious. Barack Obama. Get the fuck outta here... Ima tell this n**** when I see him, "Stop that bullshit. Stop that bullshit. That ain't your fuckin' name. Your mama ain't name you no damn Barack."

There's a comment that was better left unsaid.....

In 2008, after receiving $7,500 of drug treatment, DMX tried to avoid payment. Attempting to use a fake identity, the rapper claimed his name was "Troy Jones." However, being that he's a rap icon, that didn't work too well and as one can guess, he was charged with identity theft.

In October of 2013, DMX's ex-wife, Tashera Simmons, shared a story of the rapper accidentally shooting his manager while high on crack cocaine. The rapper was locked away in a hotel room and the manager came looking for him because he had a show coming up. Tashera helped the manager track the rapper down and on their way out of the hotel, X's gun went off and the manager fell to the floor. The gun went off in the rapper's bookbag and shot him in the foot.
