"He doesn't have a gun. There's video tape on the scene. I imagine the police have it. I don't get it," he said.
Richman said he had spoken with DMX, also known as Earl Simmons, who told him he and a group of associates that included two former New York City police officers stopped at the gas station following a headlining spot at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center Saturday night.
It was there that he met the two alleged victims, who recognized him and asked to pose for pictures, he added. The men eventually offered the rapper drugs, according to Richman, which he refused due to his past struggles with addiction.
"He had a problem in the past. These guys thought they were being cool with him," he said, adding that DMX told him he left the scene promptly after refusing the offer.
