AceShowbiz - Lyfe Jennings detailed a recent ordeal he had in Oakland. Taking to Instagram, the "Must Be Nice" singer detailed how he got robbed of $120,000 worth of jewelry.
"I wasn't even really gon' even speak on this because most cats in my position wouldn't even speak on it," the 44-year-old said in an Instagram video. "But I'ma speak on it because I'm in the mindframe right now that a lot of things that happen in your life is meant to be spoke on so somebody else could get something from it."
"When I got down to Oakland, I pulled up to this spot. Again - another place I wasn't supposed to be. Went inside and saw some cats blew up and basically bust the windows out the thing," he added. "[They] snatched my little bookbag. It's like $120,000 worth of jewelry in there, my computer, my ID, passport, credit cards, all that s**t."
Jennings went on to lament, "And of course I was upset by the s**t." He then reflected, "But I'm present. I'm always present so the s**t that I wanna do, I just start thinking. That s**t could have went all the way left. I was somewhere I shouldn't even have been. I could have had that s**t on me and them n***as could have came in like the one homie and just, you know, took it. Or tried to, anyway. I thought about the s**t and just weird feelings came over me."
"It's like, with all the s**t that we be doing out here, who the fuck is we tryna impress or tryna convince that we still out here about that life? Because I know I'm not. I used to be, but I’m really not. I’m not out here with bangers no more on the block and all that s**t. And I just really wanted to share this because it might be somebody that got they foot straddling right now that's still tryna be something that they're not anymore."
As he managed to see the positive side behind the incident, the musician said, "In order to be something else, you have to let something else go." In the caption, meanwhile, he wrote, "$120,0000 gone!! Smh could put 100 on a head but what would that solve.."
