Marlon Wayans, the renowned comedian and actor, recently experienced a home burglary in Los Angeles. However, contrary to initial reports suggesting that valuable items were taken from his residence, Wayans has clarified that he does not own anything of significant worth.
In a series of Instagram videos and posts shared on July 4, 2024, Wayans humorously addressed the incident and advised potential robbers to save their energy. He stated that the most valuable possession in his house is his house itself, as he doesn't own jewelry or large amounts of cash. Instead, he uses credit cards for purchases.
According to multiple sources including TMZ and The Hollywood Reporter, Wayans was not present during the burglary. His older brother Keenen Ivory Wayans was reportedly at home when the incident occurred around 2:30 a.m. on June 29, 2024.
The thieves gained entry to the house by shattering a back window and made off with a safe and several thousand dollars in cash. The Los Angeles Police Department has launched an investigation into the matter but no arrests have been made as of yet.
Marlon Wayans' home burglary is just one of several high-profile incidents targeting celebrity homes in the area recently. Other victims include Squid Game star Lee Byung-hun, NBA player Paul Pierce, former Clippers player Patrick Patterson, and Kyle Richards' daughter Farrah.
Despite the incident, Wayans remains optimistic and grateful for everyone's concern. He has urged robbers to target other homes with more valuable possessions instead of wasting their energy on his residence.
