Nas, whose true name is Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones, visited New York City to mark the debut of his newest album, King’s Disease III. But on November 12, when two thieves ransacked his Calabasas house, things became even worse.
Around 8:30 p.m., the burglars smashed the back door and entered the building, according to law enforcement officials. A Ring camera installed in the rapper’s home alerted his staff, who immediately called the police. Before the cops came, the thieves left the house.
While the exact items taken from his residence are unknown, speculations suggest that two suitcases full of belongings were also seized. To learn more about the stolen items, investigators are currently waiting for the artist to return. So yes, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has not made any arrests.
Nas’ father, Olu Dara, is a cornetist, musician, and singer who is recognized as one of the best rappers of all time. He began his career in 1989 and contributed to the Main Group song “Live at the Barbeque.” The 49-year-old old’s worth is estimated by CelebrityNetWorth to be around $70 million.
His lucrative career as a rapper has allowed him to build a sizeable wealth; between September 2017 and September 2018, he earned $35 million. His net worth decreased to $19 million between September 2018 and September 2019.
The native of New York City spent $659,000 for a house in McDonough, Georgia, an Atlanta suburb, in 2002. The 1999-built house has two bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and one-half bathroom in addition to a swimming pool.
Then, in 2007, Jones and his then-wife Kelis bought a $1.6 million house in Los Angeles. The house, which was constructed in 1947, has three bathrooms and four bathrooms. He spent $3.5 million on a new mansion in Calabasas, California, in November 2021.
Illmatic, his debut album, became a tremendous hit after its 1994 release. It Was Written, the next album, made its debut at the top of the Billboard 200 in 1996. I Am and Nastradamus, his next two albums, were released in 1999 but received negative reviews from critics and fans who thought the caliber of his work was declining.
