Russ has become the latest in a string of celebrities to be a victim of home burglary.
According to TMZ, surveillance footage showed two people entering the rapper’s home through a basement door on Thursday (November 16). Nearly two hours later, the perps had made off (through the front door) with bags filled to the brim with costly items.
Russ, who was not at home at the time of the incident but reported it to the Roswell Police Department the very next day, explained he caught the incident on his home security system.
During a FaceTime call with authorities — who toured the home in his absence — the “What They Want” rhymer said the burglars had made off with 5 firearms, which included a pair of Glock 19s, a CZ Scorpion, and two Walther handguns as well as two Chanel bags with a total value of $24k.
Russ also alleged the perps drove off in his girlfriend’s 2020 Mercedes-Benz C-Class AMG.
Police have yet to be able to identify potential suspects. Authorities noted to TMZ only that the perpetrators were wearing jackets and gloves.
The New Jersey-bred recording artist joins a long list of celebs to have their houses become the target of burglars over the years, including Rihanna, Beyonce’s mother Tina Knowles, Iggy Azalea, and Wiz Khalifa.
In July, the Pittsburgh rapper revealed on Twitter that three burglars attempted to rob his home while he was on stage performing at Clarkston, Michigan’s Pine Knob Music Theatre as part of his High School Reunion Tour with Snoop Dogg.
“3 n-ggas wit Pooh shiesty masks tried to run in my crib while i was on stage,” he wrote, referencing the black ski mask made popular by the incarcerated Memphis rapper.
Wiz didn’t offer any more details about the attempted home invasion, so it’s unclear whether the culprits took off with any of his stuff.
If I was rich, Id live in some highrise condo. You never hear about those getting robbed. Tese rich people make themselves a target having these nice cribs that be unattended like half the year.
As a celeb don’t show off your house unless you got 24/7 security. Old boy always showing off his shit. I don’t think he got it how he claims, pussy dude.
He constantly wanna brag and show off his wealth on social media. Show offf his house. That’s the type of shit that happens, if you a celebrity you gotta move carefully.
Left the home 2 hours later ? Reported the next day? Like this wack sissy didnt get a ring notification. Shit dont add up
I think he paid people to rob him because his album didn’t do the numbers that he expected so he tryna get the extra publicity. Something stinks and will come to light about him,
