DMX pleaded not guilty to two felony counts of theft and identity theft at an Arizona courtroom today (July 24).

As reported earlier, DMX is accused of checking into an Arizona hospital in April under the name of “Troy Jones” to avoid paying a $7,500 bill.

According to The Associated Press, after DMX plead not guilty to the identity theft charges, he rapped for reporters outside the courtroom and plugged his upcoming album titled Walk With Me Now and You'll Fly With Me Later.

The Yonkers bred rapper is due back in court on August 12th for a conference relating to the identity theft charges.
