DMX's Attorney Denies Allegation Rapper Robbed a Man at New Jersey Gas Station

DMX's lawyer Murray Richman told E! News that the accusations were "completely absurd." According to Richman, "[DMX] was leaving a show [the Masters of Ceremony show at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center], a very successful show, and he stopped for gas." He continued, "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."

DMX, who has previously struggled with addiction and had a number of run-ins with the law, has yet to comment publicly; his recent Twitter activity is focused only on promoting upcoming appearances. A rep for the rapper did not immediately respond to Billboard's request for comment.
