A$AP Rocky's Home Targeted in Armed Robbery; $1.5 Million Stolen
A$AP Rocky was the target of an armed home invasion robbery on Tuesday (May 16).
According to TMZ, three male suspects arrived at his Los Angeles home around 11:30 p.m. and forced their way inside when one of Rocky’s female relatives opened the door.
The armed men pulled out guns and reportedly stole jewelry and other items worth up to $1.5 million. They also apparently took a safe, but left it on the sidewalk for an unknown reason.
KTLA reports that Rocky’s female relative was held at gunpoint during the burglary in the Beverly Grove area of L.A. The burglars got away and the woman was not injured.

The Harlem rapper was not home at the time of the alleged robbery, but insiders believe this was a targeted attack. Earlier in the evening, the A$AP Mob MC shared a video featuring cash stacks on social media.
Prior to this, Rocky was having a stellar week with the release of “RAF,” his fashion-forward collaboration with Frank Ocean, Lil Uzi Vert, and Quavo. Before that, he also dropped “Chanel” with Ocean and “Wrong” with A$AP Ferg.
Flacko is currently readying his first album since 2015’s At.Long.Last.A$AP.
