Living in Westchester: Not Gully

We’ve been covering the saga of DMX’s legal problems for a while, and now it seems to be coming to a head:
The rapper DMX faces 60 days in prison after he pleaded guilty Tuesday to violating the conditions of his release following a car crash last year at John F. Kennedy International Airport, officials said.
[…]
DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, pleaded guilty last December to reckless endangerment and acknowledged he was taking Valium when he smashed his sport utility vehicle into a gate at Kennedy Airport in June 2004, after telling a parking lot attendant he was a federal agent.
His conditional discharge didn’t go so well:
Since then, the rapper has been cited twice for traffic violations, once involving driving a car at 104 mph near his Westchester County home one week after his last sentencing. In April, he was involved in an accident in the Bronx with two other vehicles, one of which was an unmarked police car.
You might be thinking “Damn, X, 104 is pretty fast, and maybe it would be best to stay away from unmarked police cars,” but what you should be thinking is “What the hell is X doing living in Westchester County?”

Well, DMX is from Yonkers, and at least part of Yonkers is in Westchester County. Not the part that DMX comes from, I suspect, but nevertheless, that might explain it. I know this having used to hail from said County (don’t hate–it’s definitely not gully, I’m not proud).
And another thing, isn’t it the typical move of rappers who declare “no matter how much loot I get I’m stayin’ in the projects forever” to then quickly move to the leafy green suburbs as soon as that first royalty check clears?

DMX does not live in Yonkers. He lives in Bedford Hills, NY. Bedford Hills is definitely not gully.
