Rapper DMX has checked into rehab, after canceling shows due to a medical emergency, TMZ reports.

DMX had been performing on the East Coast recently, and clips of what some fans described as DMX ranting during a Brooklyn show on April 22 was posted on social media, according to TMZ.

Instead of performing shows in California, the rapper checked into a rehab center in southern California. DMX has battled addiction issues in the past.
