Accusations that rapper DMX robbed a man after a concert in Newark, N.J., on Saturday have been shot down by his attorney, calling them “completely baseless, and that the rapper simply walked away from a group of overzealous fans who were trying to sell him drugs.”

Earl Simmons, also known by his stage name DMX, has been accused of snatching $3,200 out of a Newark man’s hands after a member of his entourage flashed a handgun and demanded money around 12:30 a.m. on Sunday, according to a statement released by the city’s police department.

The man was only identified as being a 21-year-old Newark resident. He was standing near a gas station near the city’s McCarter Highway when he struck a conversation with the rapper, police said.  As the brief conversation came to an end, a member of DMX’s entourage took out a handgun, according to statements.

After the alleged robbery took place, the victim claimed that DMX and his entourage sped down the highway in four different black Escalades, police said. According to Sgt. Ronald Glover, a Newark police spokesman, the victim followed the entourage into Paterson, N.J., and was able to get a license plate number from one of the four vehicles.

The 21-year-old man was not injured during the robbery. The police are reviewing surveillance footage from the gas station to see if DMX was actually involved in the robbery or not, Glover said.

Murray Richman, DMX’s  attorney, told the Los Angeles Times that the rapper and his entourage had simply stopped for gas when four men approached them who were claiming to be fans.

“He was coming from a show, and he was accosted by these young men to take pictures. He took pictures, and they offered him drugs … he said no … he left,” Richman announced to The Times. “There was videotape of this material.”

Richman laughed at the idea that DMX , who had just been paid for performing at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, would want to rob someone at a gas station.

Although no charges had been filed as of Monday morning, a law enforcement official with information of the investigation told the Los Angeles Times that police are certain DMX was at the crime scene. Richman did not dispute that fact.
