Rapper DMX has been sentenced to six months in an upstate jail for failing to pay child ­support.

The 44-year-old rapper, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was placed in the Erie County Holding Center in Buffalo Tuesday, the county sheriff’s office said.

DMX was arrested right before his scheduled performance at ­Radio City Music Hall on June 26 over several “issues outstanding,” authorities said.

Those “issues” included $400,000 worth of unpaid child support, a warrant issued by the city of White Plains for bail jumping and a robbery complaint out of Newark, NJ.
