Looks like a relapse did NOT lead to DMX checking himself into rehab. Sources close to DMX say him being on the road was causing him a LOT of temptation to use and he figured goin’ to rehab was being proactive to stop it before it happened. Apparently the balance of road life and home life has been too much for him to handle lately so he’s hoping rehab will help him deal with his issues moving forward. Here’s to a speedy recovery.
