DMX Really Tried Robbing A Guy At Gunpoint? - His Attorney Blasts Absurd Accusation

On New York's NBC 4, a 21-year old man reported to the police that at around 12:30 a.m on Sunday, one of the guys who was with a man who identified himself as DMX pulled a gun and demanded he hand over his money. But according to the rapper's attorney, Murray Richman, DMX most certainly did not try to rob anybody when he and his entourage stopped for gas off of Highway 21 in Newark, N.J., following a show on Saturday night.

The attorney calls the claim "completely absurd," telling E! News today that "anyone who believes it makes no sense at all."

"He was leaving a show, a very successful show, and he stopped for gas. 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." Richman said.

The actor and hip-hop artist has had well-documented run-ins with the law over the years, copping pleas to crimes such as animal cruelty, drug possession, theft and aggravated assault. He has also spent time in rehab for substance abuse.
