Pheelz Robbed in Los Angeles, Escapes Injury

Nigerian singer and producer Pheelz was robbed in Los Angeles, and he shared the news with his fans through social media. His posts say that his wallet, phone, bank cards, and a Goyard bag were taken. Videos he shared show the damage, including a broken rear car window, suggesting his car was broken into rather than him being directly confronted.

There are rumours that fellow Nigerian artist Khaid was also there and may have been affected, but this has not been confirmed. Many details of the robbery are still unclear.

Pheelz is currently staying in Los Angeles. It’s not clear why he is in the U.S., though he has hinted at working on a new project. He recently finished a joint EP with Fireboy DML, and fans have been speculating about what he will release next.

Fans and others online have shown concern, relieved that Pheelz was not physically hurt.

Car break-ins are common in Los Angeles, especially in areas visited by tourists. “Smash and grab” thefts, where thieves quickly take visible items from parked cars, have been a recurring problem for years. Authorities often warn people not to leave valuables in cars, but the issue continues.

This robbery is also part of a growing trend of Nigerian artists being targeted abroad. In 2025, street-pop star Candy Bleakz and rapper Jeriq were robbed in South Africa. Nigerian singer Lil Kesh was also hurt and had his jewellery stolen during a robbery in Lagos.

More information about the incident is expected as the story unfolds.
