A 21-year old man claims that DMX and several other men robbed him of $3,200 in cash at gunpoint at a Newark gas station on Sunday morning.
The New York Daily News reports that the victim saw X at the gas station and began talking to the rapper before one of the members of his entourage retrieved a gun and demanded the victim fork over his money. According to the victim, DMX himself took the money before speeding away with the rest of his entourage in four black Cadillac Escalades.
Notably, DMX had a planned appearance in Newark on Saturday night for a performance at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center.
While no arrest has been made, the man reported the alleged crime to police and an investigation is currently in place. The victim also claims to have pursued the group of SUV’s and was able to secure a license plate number for at least one of the cars.
DMX has had a series of arrests throughout his career including convictions for animal cruelty, drug possession, resisting arrest, and even impersonating a law enforcement agent. The rapper served a short stint in an Arizona prison in 2010.

UPDATE: DMX’s lawyer has responded to the allegations that his client robbed and others robbed a man at a New Jersey gas station, according to Complex.
“He was leaving a show, a very successful show, and he stopped for gas,” the statement says. “Four young men approached him for a photo. They took photos and they offered [DMX] drugs. He said no and told them to go…They had an argument and next thing you know, they are accusing him of robbery. Just nonsense.”
He also said that the allegations as “completely absurd” and that “anyone who believes it makes no sense at all.”
Carrying around $3200 in cash in New Jersey? Something definitely fishy.
A 21 year old dude carrying around $3,200 and getting robbed by DMX = he got his drug money taken.
Atleast DMX is gangsta instead of pussy rappers like: nas, az, jay-z, ice cube, lil wayne, dr dre, game, etc.
Old and broke. I’m sure hes glad he kept it gangsta you clown
both of you are idiots. gangsta is nothing to be proud of. Being educated is. Doesn’t matter about age or money. He has more than you.
@Both.. you’re the close for not acknowledging that “lol@u” was not expressing that gangsta is smoothing to be proud of but rather he was expressing that such actions are not worthy of taking pride in..
^^ Instead of both. my comment is supposed to read Idiot as in you’re the idiot.
Also, as opposed to reading smoothing, it is supposed to read something.. Damn Auto-correct
@Both, it has just come to my attention that you were going at “lol@u” for referrinto Dmx as old as opposed to going at him for any other reason.. damn i’m so high right now
I respect DMX for what he did. Street cred is important in the rap game. You have to keep it real. Most rappers are whack and dont posses the knowledge of the streets. i did a 7yr bid and learned alot. the black isnt made for the classroom. the streets is my college and the pen is my grad school.
666 Natas
So, you respect him for literally robbing an innocent person at gunpoint? And then running off with his money? Dude, you’re fucking stupid.
idk what it is about niggas in prision that get out and think they are smart all the sudden, like no man u spent 7 yrs in prision the only thing i wanna lern from u is what u did so i dont do that lol.
street knowledge itsself is useless unless your book smart so you know how to move..obv u arent book smart bc ur dumbass got caught. do society a favor keep ur knowledge between in the ghetto.
$3200.00? I smell BULLSHIT! This story has more holes than swiss cheese in it!!
how u gonna snitch on DMX.. if DMX robs me fuck it son I got robbed by a legend.. he better go invest that money in a studio and new music
LOL you should invest in yourself silly as
LOOOOL
Classic
Hahaha innocent man with 3.2 in cash in his pocket, at the gas station. I’ve seen DMX interviews, he’s a wild nigga but you don’t survive at the levels he’s survived at by being the kind of guy that would rob an innocent.
The dude was probably talking crazy shit to X, not showing any proper respect to nigga that has told real stories of the streets and offered guidance and prayer and support to young people through his music.
Last time I checked, gas stations had surveillance galore. We’ll see in due time who is foolin who
If the lawyer’s story is true that is fucked up.
You can take the dog out the hood but you cant take the bark out the dog.
X used to rob ninjaz as a hobby,so this is not farfetched. X is still gully
I believe It.
