AceShowbiz - Sexyy Red is taking legal action against her former security guard following a burglary that resulted in the loss of more than $500,000 in valuables, AllHipHop reports. The rapper has filed a lawsuit accusing the guard of negligence that allowed the theft to occur while she was on a family trip.

Per Power1051, the incident happened during a birthday retreat for Sexyy Red's mother at a rented mansion, where a masked intruder gained entry through an unlocked door. The stolen items included high-end jewelry, watches, and designer handbags. The rapper alleges that the security guard and his team were responsible for securing the property but failed to do so, a claim supported by a police investigation that found a door left unsecured. TMZ adds that the security guard, identified as Carl Thompson, was the last person to leave the residence before the burglary took place. Sexyy Red is seeking damages exceeding $500,000 from Thompson in relation to the theft.

Thompson had previously sued Sexyy Red in August 2025 for unpaid wages, claiming he was hired as her personal security guard from May 2023 through December 2024 at an annual salary of $180,000. According to TMZ, he alleges he received $204,000 but was owed an additional $81,000. Sexyy Red disputes these payment claims and countersues Thompson, holding him responsible for the burglary. The legal dispute remains active as both parties seek resolution in court.

Sexyy Red is a rapper known for her breakout single "Get It Sexyy" (2024) and has earned multiple nominations at the 2024 BET Awards, including Best New Artist and Best Female Hip-Hop Artist. Hailing from St. Louis, Missouri, she has quickly risen in the hip-hop scene, making this dispute a notable development amid her growing career.

This lawsuit highlights the complexities and risks involved in personal security arrangements for high-profile artists. The case underscores the importance of trust and accountability in safeguarding valuable assets during private events, especially for rising stars like Sexyy Red balancing public success with personal vulnerabilities.
