DMX pleaded not guilty to 11 different charges on Thursday including accusations of drug possession and animal abuse.

The former rapper was indicted last week for various charges on felony marijuana and paraphernalia possession and seven counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty.

His arrest was the result of an August raid when authorities raided his house investigating if he was neglecting 12 pit bulls. Many of the dogs didn't even have food or water. Investigators also found three dogs buried in his back yard.

This isn't DMX's first run-in with the law. In June 2006, Scottsdale police nabbed him for carrying a concealed handgun outside a nightclub. DMX also served jail time in 2005 for violating his parole following a 2004 incident in which he posed as an undercover federal agent and crashed his sport utility vehicle through a security gate at Kennedy International Airport.
