Pheelz, the Nigerian singer and producer, has revealed that he was recently robbed in Los Angeles, losing several personal belongings including his phone, wallet, bank cards, and a luxury Goyard bag in what appears to have been a car break-in.
The artist shared the incident with fans through a series of posts on social media, which quickly sparked concern and sympathy online.
According to the updates he posted, the stolen items included his wallet, mobile phone, bank cards, and his designer Goyard bag. Videos shared alongside the posts appeared to show the aftermath of the incident, including a shattered rear window believed to belong to his car, suggesting that the thieves broke into the vehicle rather than confronting him directly.
There are also rumours that fellow Nigerian artist Khaid may have been present and affected by the robbery. However, this has not been confirmed, and full details surrounding the incident remain unclear for now.
The robbery reportedly happened while Pheelz was in Los Angeles, where he is currently staying. The exact reason for his extended stay in the United States has not been officially stated, although the artist has recently hinted at new music projects.
He recently completed a joint EP with Fireboy DML, and speculation about a possible follow-up release has been growing among fans.
Following the news, many fans and supporters took to social media to express concern and relief that the artist appeared to be safe and unharmed.
The incident also reflects a broader issue in Los Angeles, where car break-ins have become increasingly common, particularly in areas often visited by tourists and travelers. These “smash-and-grab” robberies usually involve thieves quickly breaking into parked vehicles and stealing valuables left inside.
Authorities in Los Angeles have repeatedly warned residents and visitors not to leave bags or personal items visible inside their cars, but the problem has continued to persist.
This robbery also adds to a troubling trend of Nigerian artists being targeted abroad. In 2025, street-hop star Candy Bleakz and rapper Jeriq were reportedly robbed in South Africa.
Similarly, Nigerian hitmaker Lil Kesh was previously reported to have been robbed in Lagos, an incident that left him injured and with some of his jewellery stolen.
More information about the Los Angeles robbery is expected to emerge as the story develops.
