DMX might have made a mistake that can cost him his freedom.

The rapper reportedly went to St. Louis to visit with some family. Only problem is he is out on bail and may have violated the terms by leaving without giving notice to a judge.

According to TMZ:

DMX’s attorney, Murray Richman, tells TMZ … it seems like X just forgot, because he was preoccupied with the trip.

Richman says X usually notifies his probation officer if he’s leaving New York to perform, so this is unlike him. He’s guessing the judge will show a little mercy and just up the restrictions — like requiring an ankle bracelet — but Richman vows to fight it.

Nicholas Biase, a spokesman for the  US attorney for the southern district of NY, tells us X is set to appear in court later this week. 

He is facing very serious charges of 14 counts of evading over $1 million in federal taxes.
