A man claimed one of the biggest rappers of the late-1990s grabbed thousands of dollars right out of his hand at a New Jersey gas station Easter Sunday.
A 21-year-old man told Newark Police that the incident began as a conversation between himself, DMX and the rapper’s entourage outside an Exxon gas station along the 600 block of McCarter Highway (Route 21) around 12:30 a.m.
DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, and the man began to talk about rap music, said police. During that conversation a member of DMX’s entourage pulled out a gun and demanded the victim turn over his money, according to police.
The victim took about $3,200 out of his pocket. The victim told police that DMX — who hails from Yonkers, New York — then grabbed the money out of his hand and got into one of four black Escalades driven by members of DMX’s crew.
