Swae Lee could potentially lose a career’s worth of unreleased music if he isn’t careful. The Rae Sremmurd rapper revealed he lost his hard drive at Los Angeles International Airport on Monday (December 14), but the alleged founder appeared to reach out to him via Instagram Live on Thursday night (December 17).
Using the handle @swaeleeharddrive, the anonymous user proved they had the belongings by showing each item left in the bag, including his hard drive, watch, cash and mask — all while using a distorted voice to mask their identity.
“That’s what I like to see,” Swae Lee said in response.
The user posted a series of messages to their Instagram Stories, in which they stated they wanted upwards of $150,000 to hand over the hard drive.
“Follow my Twitter too ima start leaking shit on god if he don’t pay for what it’s worth,” he wrote. “I need 150 n up for his music. I’m actually a huge fan. This is really a wild dream come true. Ill give the harddrive back if I could get a picture or a feature with @champagnepapi & @swaelee together.”
They added, “And stop reporting me you idiots. If they ban me he won’t have a way to get his hard drive back. Look how many fake pages of me were made… but I’m here for the clout ???”

@swaeleeharddrive also posted a photo of the items to their Instagram feed with the caption, “20k comments and I’m dropping a @swaelee song.” The user then shared a snippet of some apparent unreleased music while wearing a mask associated with the Anonymous group, writing, “How you gone try to play me like a sucka or sum.”
Swae Lee initially offered $20,000 for the person to return his music, but it looks like he might have to dig a bit deeper in his pockets to get it back.
“I got 20K for anyone who found my hard drive @LAX T2 delta airlines this morning,” he said on Monday (December 14). “All my songs are on there.”
The ball is now in Swae Lee’s court.
I told you the other day…add a few more zeroes and we can talk business.
What a dumb ass. Those hard drives cost like $50 and go bad after like 5 years so always keep back up drives. Anything new goes on your backup. If unreleased music being released is the issue, he should have encrypted it into a password protected winRAR file. Also loosing your carry-on bag at the airport or putting stuff like that in your checked luggage makes you an even bigger dumb ass. Put that shit in a fanny pack or something if thats really your career on the hard drive.
Real talk. always got something to say. Always the broke who got the best advice for people already doing shit. Stay in your broke ass no life having lane and stop trying to preach on what others should do. You internet clowns think always a got a lot to say.. probably cuz you ain’t got shit to do!
Man give that shit back…lame fans 4a lame era…smgdh
True true true

He spends at least 150k on a dumb watch or chain, yet he’s being cheap when it comes to his life’s work?
Talking like you got money! Lmfao

This shit faked bro… come on. Publicity stunt
People always say what should of happened after the fact, like they’ve never lost anything in their life…

You should give that back for free if it was yours you would hope someone had it in their heart to return what’s yours.
