Nicki Minaj has a lot in common with Kim Kardashian.
She poses for many selfies online and she often shows off her cleavage, just to give a couple of examples.
But the rapper likely wishes she didn’t now have another way in which she could relate to the famous reality star.
And that way is this: Minaj got robbed this week.
Unlike Kardashian, however, who is still recovering from the trauma of being tied up and held at gunpoint by armed assailants in Paris in early October, Minaj was not at home at the time of this burglary.
According to TMZ, the incident took place at Minaj’s Los Angeles mansion.
When law enforcement officials arrived on the scene, they found the inside of the large house completely trashed.
It’s unknown at this time just how many suspects committed the crime, but they knocked over furniture and tossed items all around the home.
It certainly seemed as if the burglars were looking for something, which hints at the possibility that this could have been an inside job.
There were signs of forced entry, however.
In the end, these criminals made off with a great deal of jewelry and other pieces of Minaj’s property, all of which comes to about $ 200,000 worth of stolen items.
But it seems as if they were trying to send Minaj a message.
There are reasons to believe this crime was personal in nature, that it was about more than just getting away with as many expensive items as possible.
Insiders connected to the case tell TMZ that the burglars vandalized certain items in the house; they destroyed picture frames, perfume bottles and furniture.
Heck, they even cut up articles of Nicki’s clothing.
We’d make a joke here about how many articles of clothing worn by Minaj already look as if someone has shredded them, but this is a serious matter.
It’s not really a time for humor.
The robbery was reported by members of Minaj’s team earlier this week when the singer was out of town.
Police are looking through footage from surveillance videos in an attempt to identify any of the suspects, but have not yet been successful.
If you have any information about this incident, please come forward.
There is all too often a double standard applies to celebrities in which the public doesn’t seem to care when they get robbed or their social media accounts get hacked.
Yes, these folks choose to be in the spotlight.
But that doesn’t mean they deserve to be victims in cases such as this.
A crime was committed and the perpetrators ought to be punished for it. Don’t you agree?
