Famous Dex was reportedly robbed at gunpoint for his $50,000 watch and cash.
TMZ reports that the Chicago rapper was borrowing the watch from a friend for a music video shoot then he was followed by unknown assailants.
Dex says when he stopped his car a group of men jumped out on him demanding the watch and the money he had on hand.
Police are currently investigating the situation but no one was reportedly hurt.
At the end of last year, Famous Dex checked into rehab after concerning videos of him surfaced online. Rich The Kid helped the “Pick It Up” rapper get help after NLE Choppa voiced concern for Dex.
“I’ve never been the type to be in folks business but @300 y’all see @FamousDex obviously on drugs too heavy can y’all at least try surrounding that man around somebody with his best interest,” Choppa wrote at the time. “Help dude out, or somebody who already is in her ear uplift dude he NEEDING it.”
NLE Choppa spun back on Twitter to address fans who said he could’ve addressed Famous Dex’s drug addiction privately and directly. But NLE thought it’ll be more effective and reach more people if he handled it the way he did. “Mane if I wanted to dm somebody about a cause it’s harder cause I don’t have a IG some people Twitter DM don’t show and plus this publicly needed to be said cause it’ll reach more people to actually help someone instead everything getting made as a joke until the joke be on bro,” he wrote.
Famous Dex was appreciative of the support but his response was heartbreaking. “He cares, at least somebody cares,” Dex explained. “He didn’t say nothing wrong, at least somebody cares. I just wanted to say I really appreciated the love and support, but the world on drugs and I look mighty dam fine.”
Since being released from rehab, Dex seems to be doing much better and he’s active on social media.
