Scott Storch was robbed at gunpoint outside of a New York City hotel early this morning, according to DMK/SWAHILI media i reporter. Two men with guns allegedly approached the producer and threatened his life as he was leaving the New York Palace Hotel.
Storch, 39, had just gotten into a chauffeured SUV when the thieves forced him and a companion to hand over a briefcase containing as much as $5,000 in cash and roughly $100,000 worth of jewelry. The gunmen never fired their weapons, but ordered Storch's driver to hand over the SUV keys before they eventually escaped to a waiting vehicle.
Storch, who is in the Big Apple for the MTV Video Music Awards this Sunday (Aug. 25), filed a report with the NYPD. No one was hurt in the incident. The beatmaster had built a multi-million dollar fortune producing for the likes of Chris Brown, T.I., Snoop Dogg and more, but a drug addiction and his own run-ins with the law, including being busted in Las Vegas for cocaine possession in 2012, stalled the New York native's career.
