A man has accused the rapper DMX of robbing him at a gas station in Newark, New Jersey this morning.
According to The New York Daily News, the accuser is a 21-year-old man who said he recognized the “Party Up (Up in Here)” artist at an Exxon station just after midnight, after which he struck up a conversation with him about music; a member of his entourage then pulled a gun, and the group stole $3,200 in cash from the man. The alleged victim said he followed their pack of black Escalades and got a license plate number, according to Newark Police spokesman Ronald Glover.

He last released an album, Undisputed, in 2012 and recently made a cameo as a prison inmate in Chris Rock’s comedy Top Five.
