MILLSTONE -- Authorities are investigating a double stabbing that occurred early Saturday morning at the Millstone home of rapper RZA.

Police are saying little about the early-morning incident and it could not immediately be determined whether RZA, whose real name is Robert Fitzgerald Diggs, was home at the time.

New Jersey State Police responded to a report of a stabbing at a Deer Trail Drive home at 1:18 a.m. on Saturday, said Sgt. Gregory Williams, a State Police spokesman.

When authorities arrived, they found two men stabbed, he said.

He said the two men sustained serious injuries and were taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune. The hospital did not have a patient named Robert Diggs there on Saturday.

RZA is founder of the Wu-Tang Clan, a Staten Island-based group that broke into the rap scene in 1993. He has produced nearly all of the group's albums and many of its members' solo works.

Williams did not provide details of the incident and would not confirm the name of the homeowner, but property records show the 7,934-square-foot house, set far back in the woods off Deer Trail Drive, is owned by Diggs.

Williams said the investigation by the department's Major Crimes Unit is continuing.

According to newly released documents from the federal trial of two Staten Island drug kingpins, the FBI was investigating whether the Wu-Tang Clan in 1999 ordered the killings of two drug dealers.
