Playboi Carti made headlines in November after $366,000 worth of jewelry was reported stolen from the Atlanta rental home he shared with girlfriend Iggy Azalea.

The robbery occurred when Iggy Azalea was in the Buckhead home alone in the basement. She told authorities she heard footsteps on the second floor and assumed it was Playboi Carti.

Surveillance footage caught the suspect entering their home through the back door.
