While two of the assailants made their way into the rapper’s home, another stayed behind to watch him.

After the robbery, the rapper managed to open the backseat of the vehicle and jump out, flagging down a stranger and asking for help.

The rapper got into the stranger’s car, as he called 911, before the driver asked him to get out at an intersection.
