Armed robbers target rapper Post Malone in home burglary, assault one and loot over $20k
It looks like rapper Post Malone has escaped yet another violent incident, after a close brush with death at least twice in less than a month.
On September 1 (Saturday), according to reports, three armed robbers are said to have invaded a house in the San Fernando Valley area, apparently targeting the 23-year-old rapper. After breaking into the house post-midnight, having smashed the front window, the burglars apparently yelled: "Where's Post Malone?" However, the three men in question appeared to have mistaken the house for Post Malone's as the rapper no longer lives there, reports TMZ.
Instead, the home invaders went on to assault the man, who was at the time residing in the house, whipping him with a pistol and robbing at least $20,000 worth of jewelry, cash and mobile phones. The burglary is currently under investigation as law enforcement officials try to figure out if the latest case is connected to another robbery that took place just hours later. Apparently, the second hit was at the residence where American hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd were living.
