Music producer Scott Storch was held up and robbed at gunpoint in Times Square, NYC on Tuesday. Storch said he was robbed outside of the New York Palace hotel and the criminal even threatened his life.
Storch, 39, famous for working with Dre. Dre, Snoop Lion, P!nk, 50 Cent and more and dating Kim Kardashian, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton, filed a police report after the incident.
He said he was waiting in an SUV when two men came up to the car with guns and said, "Give us all your jewelry and cash or you're dead,” TMZ reports.
As the driver of the car handed over the keys so they couldn’t take off as instructed, Storch gave the men a suitcase of cash worth anywhere from $4,000 to 5,000, as well as jewelry worth up to $100,000.
Wall Street Journal reports the men got away with a $50,000 diamond necklace and a Rolex watch worth $50,000.
He has since tweeted:
Nothing can stop music, thanks to all the fans and support
