The deejay, who was just recently freed of rape charges in New York, said he was robbed last Friday of a gold chain valuing US$4,500.

Mr Lexx, whose real name is Christopher Palmer, told THE STAR that he was robbed by a gunman who walked into the Brooklyn barber shop where he was waiting to get a haircut.

He said, "I was in the barber shop about 7 p.m. and a man just walked in with a gun. Him tek mi outta di barber chair and grabbed off my chain. I held on to his hand with the gun and managed to push him down and then mi jus run."

The deejay said he made a call to 911 and police officers came and took a report. He said persons at the barber shop told him that they did not know who the gunman was. THE STAR could not confirm Mr Lexx's claims with the police as he was unable to say which police took the report.

Back in 2007, the deejay was robbed of several items including a computer, stereo system, and travel documents that were stolen from his car in the Half- Way Tree area.

Just last week, the deejay was freed of rape. The deejay was, however, required to serve three days of community service.

Mr Lexx told THE STAR that he will be returning home sometime in the summer after he fulfils some previous engagements
