Rhymefest, 39, a onetime South Side aldermanic candidate, complied and gave the man his wallet. The suspect fled the scene on foot, according to police.

The Grammy and Oscar winner, whose real name is Che Smith, then drove to the Grand Crossing District station at 7040 S. Cottage Grove, which he describes as the closest station to his home to report the robbery in the Bronzeville neighborhood.

“They put a gun to my head. They demanded that I give them my wallet. I gave them my wallet. They told me they were going to shoot me,” he can be heard telling officers – who are in plain view – in video that he also posted on Twitter.

The video shows the exchange between the musician and police was tense; at one point, at least two officers ask him to stop filming inside the station.
