NEW YORK (AP) -
Charges that the rap star raped and sodomized a 29-year-old stripper were dropped Thursday after genetic tests showed that semen on the woman was not DMX's.
"I never met the girl," DMX, a.k.a. Earl Simmons, said outside court.
Simmons, 27, was arrested in June. The woman claimed she was attacked after meeting the rap star at a club.
Simmons' album "It's Dark and Hell Is Hot" debuted at the top of the Billboard pop charts at the start of the summer.
