Rapper DMX is the subject of a new $1 million dollar lawsuit for backing out of a celebrity boxing match scheduled to take place in December in Birmingham, Alabama.

DMX was originally scheduled to fight boxer/actor Eric Martinez during an event titled “Alabama Pride,” promoted by Thunder Promotions.

The rapper was scheduled to box Martinez for three rounds but backed out of the fight when Thunder Promotions allegedly refused to fix the fight or guarantee DMX's safety.

DMX’s abrupt cancellation left promoters scurrying to find a replacement.

Shortly after it was announced that DMX would be pulling out of the fight, Thunder Promotions signed up rapper Coolio to face off against Martinez in the ring on December 12th.

According to Coolio, he has no plans to fix the fight or to even lose the contest.

“I've been doing martial arts for 18 years...somebody [is] gonna get knocked the f**k out,” Coolio exclaimed to radio host Angela Yee during an interview last week. “Coolio don't take a** whoopin’s well. I'll tell you what, if I get into trouble, you gonna know because it's gonna go from boxing to f**king wrestling and choking because I hate to lose.”

Thunder Promotions filed the $1 million dollar lawsuit against DMX in Birmingham County Court on Friday (November 20th).

Thunder Promotions claims DMX's cancellation has caused them hundreds and thousands of dollars and damages.

The lawsuit is the latest financial set back for DMX, who also owes $1.5 million in back taxes to the IRS.

Ayo bitch, get off my dick. I asked for a fixed fight, cuz if I really fought, it wouldn't be nice. When you talk shit about the dog, he might bite and a bark is never louder than the scream of a man who been bit. Ayo bitch, It's the dog.
