DMX will fight George Zimmerman and make him drink his pee

by Mark Teo

At this point, the oft-arrested DMX is as known for his music as he is for his erratic behaviour. The legendary Ruff Ryder has, at various times, run naked through a hotel, has been arrested more times than we can count, and, heartwarmingly, rapped a shockingly adorable rendition of “Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer.” But the latest scrap of DMX news might be the most audacious yet: He’s going to fight George Zimmerman, the man who murdered Trayvon Martin.

Damon Feldman, a celebrity boxing promoter, confirmed that the fight will indeed go on. (And it should be noted: Zimmerman is only a “celebrity” in the loosest of terms; more accurately, he’s a murderer who threw gasoline on America’s forever-simmering racial fires.) In an interview with TMZ, however, Feldman maintained that the fight wouldn’t be racially motivated.

“We’re not looking at it as a race thing,” said Feldman. “We haven’t discussed purple, yellow, white, black.”

Riiiiiight. It’s impossible to divorce race from anything regarding Zimmerman, who, it’s worth noting, is being paid for his “celebrity.”

The man who’ll face off against from Zimmerman, however, feels differently—and evidently, is relishing the chance to beat the living shit out of the Martin killer sans repercussions. DMX has already stated—again to TMZ—that he’s fighting for “every black person who has been done wrong in the system.”

Don’t expect DMX to play fair, either.

“I am going to beat the living fuck out him … I am breaking every rule in boxing to make sure I fuck him right up,” the rapper continued. “Once I am done with him, I am going to whip my dick out and piss on him … right in his muthafuckin’ face. Zimmerman is a piece of shit and that’s what he needs to drink.”

DMX, though, isn’t the only rapper who attempted to fight Zimmerman: Feldman, while planning the boxing match, fielded an open call for those wishing to partake in the brawl. And The Game, the Compton rapper responsible for “How We Do,” was one of the contestants.

He, too, says he’d fight to hurt Zimmerman. The Game, it should be noted, wears a Trayvon Martin tattoo on his leg.

“I would box him to knock him out,” The Game said last week. “I would definitely take pleasure in it. It’s legal, and I want to show him you can solve your disputes without a weapon… I will beat the fuck out of him.”

Michael Lohan, WWE wrestler Chyna, and UFC fighter Jon Jones were also celebrities who wanted to fight Zimmerman. The high-profile fight isn’t a first for Feldman—his fights have included Rodney King, Jose Canseco, and Tonya Harding—but it’s undoubtedly the fight most loaded with racial tension.

As for Zimmerman? Well, he better bring his whole crew.

Update: While he’s agreed to the fight, TMZ says DMX is still negotiating his contract. That means it’s still uncomfirmed.
