Caught this on the news this morning. DMX hasn't been charged with anything at this time. This is an accusation that is currently being investigated. Could turn out to be bullshit.

Here's the story:

Newark detectives are investigating a report by a man who says he was robbed at gunpoint by rapper DMX and his entourage early Sunday morning at a gas station.

The man, a 21-year-old Newark resident whom detectives didn't identify, told police that he encountered the rapper at about 12:30 a.m. at an Exxon station on the 600 block of U.S. Highway 21, according to a news release issued by the Newark Police Department. He told police that he had a brief conversation with DMX about rap music when suddenly a member of the rapper's entourage flashed a gun and demanded cash.

The man told police he pulled about $3,200 out of his pocket and DMX grabbed it, according to the news release. The rapper and his associates piled into four black Cadillac Escalades and sped away, he told police. The man said he followed them and was able to obtain a number from the license plate of one of the vehicles, detectives said.

Give to the needy if old.

 

[Log4Girlz]

That's a lot of cash to be carrying around

 

[BlackBuzzard]

X gonna take it from ya.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

Time to update the site?

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

Random 21 year old has that much cash on him in his pocket?

 

[Marvel]

Did he get him to unbutton his shirt and take that too?

 

[Zeus Molecules]

if this is true

 

[JMDSO]

Robbery? I didn't know he released a new album.

 

[StayDead]

DMX: But there are hundreds of unsolved robberies in Newark, NJ

Officer Lou: You don't know when to keep your mouth shut, do you, DMXy Boy?

 

[YoungHav]

DMX probably looked the guy up and down then stole his pants, which happened to have the cash.

Robbery? I didn't know he released a new album.

Lmao

 

[highrider]

Random 21 year old has that much cash on him in his pocket?

Sounds like he was attempting to purchase drugs and got worked.

 

[EloquentM]

Is he still a crack fiend?

 

[diamount]

Random 21 year old has that much cash on him in his pocket?

Shit, another craiglist horror story - DMX will rob you blind.

 

[Setsuna]

Random 21 year old has that much cash on him in his pocket?

Its Newark which means its probably drug or gang money. But thats only if the story is true

 

[Frozenprince]

Ah it's time for the yearly reminder that DMX has lost his god damn mind.

 

[Laws00]

Funk Master Flex said it best, this guys story would make an interesting movie if portrayed right

 

[soundahfekz]

Defense lawyer is gonna argue on the basis that it's impossible for DMX to have an entourage in 2015. And he's gonna win

 

[KissVibes]

I want to see some goddamn proof.

 

[captainraincoat]

are we going to see a site update??

[B_Spooky13]

Maybe don't have $3,000 in your pocket jackass

Actually DMX hangs out around where I live (Greenville, SC) and that dude is broke as fuck.. He gets arrested quite a bit around here.. And people make fun of him

 

[Wickwire]

When they are robbing at gun point, I think its safe to stop calling them an "entourage"

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Wait, who the fuck carries 3k in cash in their pockets? This sounds like bullshit.

 

[Hans.Gruber]

Damn that dude should have its own Vodka brand, streaming app and headphones company. Plus play 2-3 bad guy roles in big movies every year.
If he had played it smart.
When that Aaliyah, Jet Li, Kung fu movie came out he was one of the top 20 biggest stars, even here in Germany people bought clothes with his logo on it.

Is it really all on his addiction or did he get played by a manager or sth?
Can't he clear like 10k a night for a club concert?

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

When I was younger I would carry that much cash around with me but I was paying bills.

Bad contracts with his labels, last albums bombed, he's an addict, his criminal record keeps growing and he can't even get into a studio at this point to record new stuff.

10 years ago he could have bumped almost any act for a club gig, now?

Dude can't even headline a county fair.

 

[Bold One]

X gonna take it from ya.

 

[PhoenixDark]

What type of person goes to a gas station in an inner city with 3k in his pockets tho? This sounds ridiculous. DMX had a show the previous night, I wouldn't be surprised if this is some promoter who tried to dick X out of his cash.

 

[YoungHav]

Dmx wife looks like Canibus in drag.

Defense lawyer is gonna argue on the basis that it's impossible for DMX to have an entourage in 2015. And he's gonna win

DMX current crew looks sorry as fuck. Bunch of Buff Bagwell level weed carriers.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I thought he found Jesus. Whatever happened to that?

 

[Fatalah]

Woah, someone made a DMX thread over the weekend. NeoGAF yo.

 

[YoungHav]

I thought he found Jesus. Whatever happened to that?

He's been smoking crack since 18. He sees Jesus at this point

Woah, someone made a DMX thread over the weekend. NeoGAF yo.

This is the 2nd dmx thread in 2 days.

Ok if he is in no working condition that explains it.
That's so effing sad. This kind of downfall seems to happen alot in the US with african american celebrities.

 

[Air]

X gon' take it from ya.

X gonna take it from ya.

Damnit

 

[JBourne]

I want to see some goddamn proof.

Yeah, I'm wondering if the gas station had cameras that would've caught this.

It's pretty sad that this is even believable, though. DMX was my shit back in middle school. I hate seeing him sink like this.

 

[m3k]

X was doing well and then he's robbing fans

 

[PillarEN]

DMX has one of the more amusing Wikipedia pages. Some crazy tales of his crimes.

My favorite was him carjacking a law enforcement vehicle at JFK airport and crashing it while high on crack.

 

[Mohonky]

Drug dealers if they are moving a large amount of product and doing the rounds.

 

[Az]

The news is DMX has an entourage.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

Wasn't he like the biggest rapper for a while back in the day?

I like the fake FBI agent one best, personally.

 

[JBourne]

He was really big When Ruff Ryder's Anthem came out. That was huge. Then Party Up blew up. Then he went to shit.

He was very popular for a very short period of time.

Probably karma for starring in exit wounds with Steven Segal.

 

[Jams775]

Wasn't he like the biggest rapper for a while back in the day?

Yeah and I even thought he would turn out as a decent actor back then too. At least one that fits well in Steven Seagal movies.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

He was awesome in Belly.

"When it rains, niggas get wet."

 

[JBourne]

I haven't seen a single movie DMX has been in. I should fix that.

 

[Black Republican]

in the mid late 90's he was everywhere


its a goddamn shame what hes become now

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

Watch Belly, Nas is in that one too.



"Knowledge bone, what's the science?!"

 

[The Sarcastic Dude]

Cradle 2 the Grave was the shit.

 

[knicks]

This doesn't make that much sense. Why would anyone have $3,200 on them, let alone a 21 year old? Perhaps if they forced him to go to an ATM at gunpoint and take it out, but what...?

Though, I doubt he'd go to police if he was doing something shady, right?
