The robbers recognized and greeted the musician, but before he could lock his car, two of the three thugs were already close to him, one armed with a revolver and the other with a panga.

The rapper said the man with the gun put it against his stomach as they seized his valuables while he froze. He said the criminals also intimidated a nearby security guy who tried to aid him.

"I was ready to give them everything, my shoes and clothes as long as they spared my life. They had cocked the gun and placed it on my stomach. They took my two phones and I gave them the car keys," he narrated.
