Skate Legend Andy Roy steps up as DMX Attacker

sowing love from one ex-con to another

Earlier last week skate legend Andy Roy came forward as the crazed fan that had previously “attacked” DMX on stage. He stepped up to clear his name, he wasn’t actually trying to attack DMX he just wanted to “show his love from one ex-con to another.” DMX was released earlier last year following charges of violating his probation by consuming alcohol during a concert that he had performed by special permission that led to additional drug charges.

DMX attacked on Stage and Keeps the Music Going

Way to go DMX

Music is all about the fans and Long Beach fans have shown that they’re all about the music, although I have to say that it might be a good idea to learn a little control no matter how much excitement is currently being experienced. Without fan support musician wouldn’t have anyone to sing or play for. DMX proved first hand that he believed in his fans.

New Years is celebrated in many ways, some people choose the quietness of their own homes followed by a quick midnight stroll of fireworks, and some want live music and dancing while others just want anything that makes them laugh. Fortunately, Long Beach has everyone covered.
