    Roddy Ricch Claims Extortion Attempt Over Lost Grammy Award

    Roddy Ricch claims storage hunter tried to extort $50k over Grammy award

    Roddy Ricch has accused a storage hunter of trying to extort $50,000 from him after coming into possession of his Grammy Award.

    Last week, YouTube personality and storage hunter Prieto Hunters claimed to have found the rapper’s Grammy for Best Rap Performance, which Roddy won in 2019 for his collaboration with Nipsey Hussle and Hit-Boy on “Racks in the Middle.” The reported prize mysteriously surfaced after Prieto purchased a storage unit at auction for $280.

    While the Grammy was initially claimed with relative ease, Roddy Ricch took to Instagram Live to state that this was more complicated: Prieto Hunters was demanding a diamond watch and then $50,000 for the Grammy.

    “My personal assistant was in a debilitating accident with trauma to his brain,” said Roddy. “Since I travel to Miami so often, I have my things in storage for safekeeping because he has mishandled everything because of his accident.”

    Upon learning about Prieto having the award, Roddy said his team immediately reached out. “We offered him something, but he basically said what we were offering wasn’t enough,” he shared.

    “I said to him, ‘Bro, I got 10 bands for you.’ He said, ‘That ain’t shit. I want $50,000.’ First, he asked for an AP [luxury watch], then demanded $50,000.”

    Roddy condemned Prieto Hunters for allegedly wanting both money and publicity rather than just returning the award. The incident has stirred controversy and arguments over celebrity belongings and ethical conduct in storage auctions

    While Roddy Ricch was celebrating the third anniversary of his breakout smash, “The Box,” earlier this month, the rapper, as well as producer 30 Roc and Atlantic Records, are being sued over copyright infringement over the megahit.

    Perry adds that a music specialist “clearly and convincingly” points out the similarity between the two records, thus he wants to be compensated for the damages.

    During an interview with GQ in 2020, the Compton native revealed that the track was the last song he recorded for his 2019 blockbuster album, Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial.

    “It was actually the last song I made for the album,” he explained. “I made it at, like, 7 a.m. in New York after recording all night. I made the song and just decided to put it on the album. I didn’t even have it as a single before the album came out.”
