We all know DMX is a lover of dogs. Hell, he barks in quite a few of his songs. Regardless, we had no idea the rapper had such an affinity towards eating dog food. Luckily, TMZ caught up with the "Ruff Ryders' Anthem" rapper at the airport to get some dirt on the subject.

The gossip site's photographer approached DMX, explaining, "I don't feed my dog anything that really I wouldn't eat. I know you love dogs, but have you ever had, like..." To which DMX interjected, "Dog food? Yes."

The notoriously controversial rapper is then asked the hard-hitting question, "If you had to eat dog food to survive for the rest of your life, which brand would it be?" Surprisingly, DMX "bites" and answers with, "Honestly speaking, the canned stuff smells the best," following some laughter –– most likely at the absurdity of the question at hand.

He continues, "But as far as vitamins and minerals [and nutrients] ... Iams is pretty good."

Despite his love of Iams, the rapper now gets his dog food from a feed store, where they specialize in "cows and chickens and horses and sh-t." So, maybe he's just eating Iams while his dogs get the goods?

As far as the weirdest thing DMX has fed his pups ... a person. You know, to "get rid of the body." Don't worry, he was kidding –– we think.

Check out the TMZ / DMX interaction below.

And let's get nostalgic and relive "Ruff Ryders' Anthem."
