DMX'S RAP ARTIST ARRESTED

A rapper signed to troubled hip-hop star DMX's record label has been arrested on a series of drug and weapons charges.

YUNG BERG

Yung Berg - real name Christian Ward - has been charged with criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of marijuana and menacing following a police investigation on Saturday (09Aug08).

According to reports, Ward got into a dispute with a limo driver in New York at the weekend, prompting a call to authorities.

A source tells celebrity website TMZ.com the driver reported a dispute with five passengers and when police investigated the complaints, they charged Berg.

Ward's hip-hop boss DMX pleaded not guilty to felony charges of theft and identity theft last month (Jul08) - the latest in a string of legal troubles for the star, which includes arrests for speeding, suspected drug possession and animal cruelty this year (08) alone.
