Former super producer Scott Storch has been hot on the comeback trail after battles with drug addiction and a history for making more headlines for his money issues than his musical ventures (I guess it not just rappers with these issues).
During his trip to New York (for the VMA’s) he has been visiting studios and doing his media runs.
But on Tuesday night, Storch ran into some trouble again. As he left the studio he was visiting he was approached by what he called “7’0 thugs” approached and told him to give up his goods or they would shoot.
According to initial reports, Storch was robbed of over $100,000-worth of jewelry and $5,000 in cash. As it turns out, the reports were true, and Storch went on MTV’s RapFix Live today to discuss the situation.
“I was coming out of the studio around like seven in the morning and just unexpectedly, two 7-foot tall thugs came out of nowhere and bam, they got me… gunpoint, yeah,” Storch told MTV’s Sway. ”They said, ‘Give it up,’ or they were gonna shoot. They had the gun like pressed up on me and everything. It was crazy.” Still, Storch managed to get away from the altercation unharmed, and he’s just happy to move on. ”I’m not really worried about losing that stuff, just as long as my family and myself are OK,” he said.
