Rapper DMX has gone missing for the second time this year.

The rapper failed to show up for a court hearing in Phoenix on Friday.

Judge Michael Kemp issued a warrant for his arrest and raised his bond to $120,000.

The rapper's real name is Earl Simmons.

Simmons faces 11 counts for charges including narcotic drugs, marijuana, 2 counts of drug paraphernalia and 7 counts of animal cruelty.

Many of the charges stem from an August 2007 raid by authorities investigating if he was neglecting 12 pit bulls at his north Phoenix home.

Some were dehydrated and appeared to be underfed. Three were also found buried in his back yard.

During a home search, a number of weapons and drugs were seized.
