It's so dumb to me how someone can find something in a storage unit and random people online feel they are in the right to send death threats to them over if they decide to give something they found back or not. Whatever happens after is something Im not sure of but people gotta stop acting like moral busybodies while throwing out death threats.
True I sometimes watch magnet fishers There's one guy that I watch that goes to places where a lot of people have dropped belongings Most things he's found are phones, apple watches and jewelry Most people complained that he sells the stuff he finds To protect himself from physical threats he sometimes makes video where he takes the electronics or jewellery to friends to see if anything can be done to help find the owners Quite often the owners are found and he makes videos of him either physically returning the items or showing them being boxed up to be sent It's only the rest of the stuff that he pawns off if no one collects
He gave the award (That means SO much) to an assistant, with clothes, to put in a cheep storage unit? Then never tried to find it?... Doesnt it take 6 MONTHS for units to be classed as abandoned? (Even if it's 3, still enough time!) Piss off. The guy who bought it had every right to do what he wanted with everything he found!
I believe it usually 6 Months, However depending on teh costs... They may hold the unit longer to recover any debt, and if that fails then it auctioned... And again, You are Spot on... He Legally Purchased the contents of that unit! So all its contents now are his to do with as he pleases... Offering to return the Grammy at all was a Courtesy! Now... I am going to be a bit of a "Well Ackhtually" guy here... I think part of why this has become so Viral and "Interesting" is there is another route he could have taken to get teh Grammy back to This Fella, and it is actually the PROPER ROUTE according to the Grammys themselves... It should actually be returned TO THEM... They then Reissue it to the award recipient! Now, I appreciate that not many may know that but they actually do have a section about it on their website! So Yeah, It should have been returned to The Awards Body itself... The more you know!
@@Phoenix2312that might be true, but the youtuber had no obligation to the Grammy's or to Roddy. Grammys can't do anything if he sold it, it's not a crime. Also, the youtuber didn't accept the award so therefore there can't be any stipulations or contract with him and the Grammys. The Grammys might have a contract with the people who are awarded the Grammy and there can be rules and stipulations that the awardie, idk if that's a word, lol, might have to contractually agree to but the youtuber had no obligations to the Grammys.
my dad owns storage facilities, they send out PLENTY of warnings before the unit goes to auction. they send warnings in the mail and on email. multiple times! this shouldn’t have been a surprise
14:30 here is where I’m sensing some lies. He’s saying “we’ll give you some money for that, bring the clothes too”… In the exchange video AFTER the storage bro puts the Grammy down you hear the assistant/roddie say “can we give you some money for the clothes?”…. The storage bro sounded like he had no idea that money was being exchanged for the clothes OR the Grammy. Someone is lying and the storage dude looked scared AF.
I have a real hard time believing this was such a sentimental thing and yet it was in a storage unit to begin with. It's not some huge thing that's hard to find room for in the house.
So they did the hand off in a police station with 3 cops as escorts to storage locker guy?!? Dude was definitely threatened by Roddys team, imo to go to those lengths. Roddys a total dbag for not even being grateful for getting his granmy back instead saying storage guy didn't even bring the clothes like what?!?
i the think it’s funny how they can sell off people most prized possessions without a care in the world when it’s poor people, but when a rich person’s storage unit with expensive things hets bought, it’s a problem. My mom couldn’t afford to pay the storage unit on time once and we lost EVERYTHING. we lost my baby pictures. no one cared, it probably got sold off and someone threw it away. honestly i don’t really care if the grammy gets back to him or not. the person should have to pay for it back just like everyone else
Your mom doesn’t have the power of the masses. And I didn’t see any posts about her stuff so your mom losing her storage really isn’t our problem nor does it affect culture. But nipsey was culture and died for it too. A life was lost and is connected to it.
What if you do?? It's not a crime and the youtuber legally owned it, so its not like HE signed a contract by accepting the award. Nothing could be done!@melonsauce1474
Interesting how this wealthy guy wants his items back for free because his items were sold for non payment due to tragedy. Nearly everyone who can’t pay for storage or have tragedy themselves has lost sentimental, priceless items and can’t demand them back.
@@princesshibana541 That's his story. If he offered him $10,000 why then when he sent his assistant to pick it up. At least give him some $$$. Even if the guy who found the Grammy refused payment. You have your guy at least pull out the cash so you can be seen attempting to pay for it.
Roddy a huge POS for the entire situation, he playing like the other guy is the asshole in the situation when he could've made a thank you video and left it at that but he's looking for clout by saying this guy tried to extort him. I'm hearing some grade a bullshit from someone who's made their money by doing basically the same shit he's accusing others of. Smfh i don't understand why these people are looked at like ideals and have people looking up to them when they don't even have basic human decency.
If this shit was so special it wouldn't be in an overdue storage unit. I used to work for Public Storage and you get *A LOT* or warnings & time to keep your unit and he blatantly let that shit go.
yep these thing dont just happen. he was told. this guy can "extort" all he wants he bought it, he owns it. doesmt matter how much the rapper cares for it, he made an agreement. also if he cared this much he wouldnt have it in a box hidden away.
Legally, it belonged to the storage hunter. Morally, giving it back was the right thing to do. It's too bad they couldn't at least pretend to be grateful. Being kind doesn't cost anything.
@@Brett323 The artist cannot sell their own Grammy. However, Grammys have been auctioned off by family and estates of artists. I would argue that sets a precedent. Everything in that storage unit passed into the ownership of the storage unit management at the time of foreclosure on the unit. The storage management then auctioned it off to the storage hunter and everything within the unit passed into his possession.
Id have kept, wouldn't have even posted thst part of the vid so if I did decide to sell it, it would be in secret. Morally Roddy should have cared about it but he didnt.
Honestly if he wouldn't pay his storage unit, then sucks to be him. It doesn't seem like he's too concerned about it since he couldn't even be bothered to pick it up in person with a team
Seriously, and it was "sooooo" important to him and this guy was being kind enough to return it for free when he didn't have to, but the artist was such an entitled brat he couldn't bother to come IN PERSON himself to pick it up, shake the man's hand, and say thank you?! Disgusting.
No one else thinks it's odd that a famous person would have a couple of random pieces of clothes and a Grammy in a storage unit to begin with? That's super weird. Paid or not paid. Why?????
To me it sounds more like they were all partying really hard at the time he got the Grammy and were probably traveling a lot. He probably took all of the random stuff on one of their stopovers and threw it in storage thinking he’d just pick it up later. The stuff was too random to think he had any intention of storing it for any real length of time. Then the assistant had his accident and it was one of those things that slipped through the cracks. Idk
The least Roddy could've done is agree to thank you him. He obviously didn't miss it too much or he would've asked where the storage with his Grammy is. Him and his team should be ashamed of how to treated him. Def a pos move!
He tried to sell a Grammy. You can’t. A simple google search would have revealed that to him. All the other stuff he made his year on the value of those items.
@@spicymayo623 asking the man for $50,000 would indeed imply a purchase. He used the term extortion. And name calling a stranger is truly strange humor behavior. Have the day you deserve.
highly likely its one of those things that goes missing and you know its somewhere especially when moving house ect…he will not be managing his storage locker ect and clearly didn’t know it was up for sale, who knows what happened but is it really that hard to believe? just coz he’s rich doesn’t mean he cant hold sentimental value to things. I do think he could’ve been more appreciative, but who knows the full story tbh both are tryna hold an image online.
You'd think something like a grammy would be in your house, if not on display in a cupboard. If it meant that much to him it wouldn't be in a storage locker
Things happen where you have to move and you don't have a place to put things. What you said is incredibly biased. I've had to put my most cherished possessions in storage because of my living situation. Unless you know his ENTIRE situation, what you said is just what YOU think.
@marthastewwart there was hardly anything in storage, his manager or assistant could of looked after it. Why didn't he pay it, I know cos of a crash or something but I'm sure he could of worked something out with the storage company
@@marthastewwartthen you better pay the storage unit. End of discussion. Grammy no longer belonged to him at that point. He didn’t pay for his storage unit.

@@00shivaniI hope that your comment was made in the heat of the moment and not just your normal opinion. I look through the whole original video. The content of the storage locker looks like the rest (or maybe everything) of a shopping spree. A handful of shirts and jackets and 10 hats. Until proven wrong I could imagine that the Grammy was in there a long time. And the „why police station? Black men are not violent.“ it is crazy that you think the threats are physical. If the storage guy wanted to convey that his video would disprove it. Why would he be scared over one lonely guy with the rapper on the phone? But making legal threats? That’s some rich people shit and the rapper is definitely rich.
@@00shivani The hypocrisy in your post was off the charts. You start by saying "stop acting like you know why people do things", then proceed to claim you know why the storage hunter did what he did and why people are posting here. Pot, kettle, black.
It did but the tik toker didn't do anything wrong and it's not extortion because he rightfully owned the grammy after he bought it. The whole situation is so weird to me and I don't think I like Roddy Rich after it 🙄
@@chelsey8737 Its total extortion. That storage guy should have been grateful to even look at that Grammy never mind touch it.

@@StallionStudios1234 Roddy didnt seem to care about it. Leaving something like that in a storage container. The storage guy should have melted it for scrap
@yutaas6130 nope, he OWNED it once he paid the fees to own everything in that storage unit. Tangible products are owned. Whether it has a financial value is a whole other ball game.
I believe Roddy Ricch is lying or being lied to by his team. The storage guy seemed very scared and if he was faking then he's the best damn actor in the world.
Also I just don't really feel bad for him because if he can't keep track of his own personal belongings and pay for the storage unit on his own then I don't really have sympathy when he loses all the stuff. Sort of feels like a rich guy whining that somebody else was supposed to handle his business and they couldn't so that's why he didn't do his job and keep his stuff properly
@@chelsey8737 exactly and he's just mad because he ain't getting the money for the stuff he left and forgot about. Tough luck though, because these things don't just happen over night.

Nope. He had every right to not give it back, or ask for payment. Or request a video. It would have been very kind to give it back, but it belongs to him now, so his choice.
@@RVIZOtheSIN the artist can’t sell it but he can buy it back. The guy who bought the storage unit was the lawful owner of that Grammy because it was auctioned off.
@@RVIZOtheSIN but if the original artist wants it back the man who found it can request an appropriate trade. Asking for a thank you isn’t that much. He wasn’t asking for a monetary compensation.
So sentimental he forgot about it. Everything in the locker belongs to the guy who purchased it. Roddy acting like he was owed his belongings when he himself didn't care for it. Was Roddy at any point looking for his Grammy? Or was he like "oh shit i forgot about it!" Roddy doesnt deserve to have his Grammy back.
I side with the Storage guy. I suspect someone on Roddy's team made threats, etc towards him which is why the exchange with the cops and taped for the storage guy's security and why he was clueless about the clothing side of things. Roddy, on the other hand, is only working from what his team has told him, because why wouldn't he.

@@StallionStudios1234 What does boot leather taste like? A rich celebrity could not be arsed to pay some storage fees so he lost the unit and its content. If this bloke hadn't been honest he could have found a buyer on the black market for that Grammy and made tens of thousands of dollars. The law is you don't pay they take it away on storage units and this half arsed one hot woder thug isn't above the laws.
@@StallionStudios1234why should he have to give everything back just because the dude was a celebrity? If had bought the storage unit and it was just a normal person I'm sure you'd say "you paid for it everything is yours now" it's on Roddy for not caring enough to keep track of his oh so important possessions.
@StallionStudios1234 please tell me you're being sarcastic. No one who is right in the head is paying to touch a Grammy. It's touch holds zero value. If dude cared about it, he wouldn't have lost in a storage unit that he hadn't been paying on in months.
I totally think that the Grammy should be given back, but accident or not he owns the Grammy now. When you buy a storage unit you own the things inside it. Why'd did he even leave the Grammy in a storage unit?
Roddy puts it in a storage unit, fails to pay the unit, wants his stuff back, is ungrateful AF after intimidating the finder who bought the unit legally, and then he Attempted to claims the finder tried to extort him.. I'm sorry but he didn't plan on finding that item so how was this all for clout and extortion? It was legally his to do what he wanted with and for Roddy to play the game of "cover my a$$" is ridiculous. The way he was claiming he doesn't want anymore problems to roddys lackies when returning it in front of police for protection says it all.
for real "this wasn't about him getting it back to me, he just wanted cloud from it" well OF COURSE, that's his job? Like?! He would be stupid not to use this once in a lifetime chance. Are you expecting him to just give it back to you as quietly as possible solely from the pureness of his hard? Thats not how humans work, even if you're a celebrity and especially if you're rich. Share some of that money why don't you
Roddy needs to look up the definition of ‘extortion’ AND clout. while he is at it, look up GRATITUDE! What an asshole! The storage guy is ‘looking for clout’!? Its his JOB to buy stuff and then show what happens.
I just looked it up and depending on state a storage unit can't be sold unless the person doesn't pay 30 to 90 days after payment due ... so someone having an accident wouldn't be a valid excuse ... he had time to pay and time to pay late ... and who keeps a Grammy in a storage unit? He probably wouldn't have cared if it wasn't blown up on sm because it looks bad on him
I call BS on that storage unit story he gave. You just put a damn Grammy in a storage unit. No. 😂😂😂. No. He put that shit there. He didn’t know anything about anything until all this came out. And NOW HE WANTS THE GRAMMY? 😂😂😂
what I really found irritating was the fact that Roddy said that he asked him to bring the clothes and they would "throw him some money" as if they would be doing him a favor for paying him for the clothes he now own? He bought the stuff in the storage unit fair and square, those are now his things, and Roddy can buy it back at fair retail price or not at all. People get evicted from storage units when they fall on hard times, and their personal belongings get auctioned of, but no one is saying that the person who bought their things have an obligation to give it all back. RODDY IS RICH. He couldn't even be bothered to go there and pick the grammy up himself! His manager was in an accident and couldn't pay it, but for six months (it takes 6 months before a unit is considered abandoned) everyone ignored the reminders that the storage definitely sent, and no one thought to maybe pay the bill? Did no one pay any of his other subscriptions/taxes/mortgage? Roddy must be in some deep debt by now after his manages let everything go to shit, right?
Because that's like ...the primary reason people have storage units? Storage units are just extremely predatory when it comes to stuff like this and he likely didn't expect his things to be stolen because he likely thought he was still paying for it. Like. People are allowed to use storage units if they want and I legitimately don't get why this is what you took away from this.
Nah. I would get the police involved for my protection because you’re not getting it back if this is how you treat me. He found the award if it meant anything then it would not have been left in storage. And then to not even have the decency to say thank you and shake my hand but you’re not getting it back.
Granted I'm not from America but I've always been taught to return things to the police station ; found a wallet ? Police station. Key cars ? Police station. That way there's at least a trace that you handed the item, whatever happens after is not my problem and I can't be held accountable for it.
Bruh if I bought a Grammy you bet your ass I wouldn't be handing it back for free. Don't get me wrong, it's super sad that one guy passed away, and if it has been his Grammy then I likely would've given it back to his family, but if this was so important to Roddy then he shouldn't have left it in storage. Even if the storage hunter guy DID ask for 50K that's his right to do so. But nah, I think Roddy just didn't want to do the video because he thinks he's better than people. You can tell it in the way he talks about them just wanting "clout". He looks down on influencers and didn't want to be seen interacting with him.
Here's the thing about tis whole story and part of why its gone so viral... I knew I had heard a similar story some years ago... And I am trying to find it now so that I can confirm it... A Grammy was found in a House Clearance... Now in this case, The artist it was awarded to had passed on, but there was a possibility family may have wanted it... Tracking teh family was an issue though! But it did bring to light What should you do if you find an Award be it an Oscar, A Grammy or whatever! And rules were clarified... The Award should be returned to the Awards Body and they will then return it to the Recipient or their family. I believe in most cases a small reward is paid but I am not certain on that or what the amount would be... While these Awards are not exactly Valuable (Except teh Oscars, I believe they are still mostly solid gold... ) - They do cost quite a lot of money to manufacture, and Awards Bodies do often replace lost or damaged awards at great expense to them! So, Of course they woudl prefer they be returned if found. None the less, The Storage Hunter Fella was well within his rights... Regardless of how the Storage Unit got abandoned, He legally purchased all its contents! If he really wanted to return the Grammy, his best bet woudl have been to return it directly to teh Grammys who would have then reissued it to the Artist! But at the same time, It took me a lot of research to find that on their website! That is their preferred way of doing things and very few woudl have any idea about it as its so bloody hard to find any information!
Roddy Rich who? Lmao. What an a-hole, he didn't even realize the Grammy was missing. No matter what he should have offered the guy finder's compensation.
I would've never posted the video of finding it and immediately put it up for auction. If he wants it back he can pay for it. First mistake was publicly announcing he was in possession of it in the first place
15:31 bruh why do I feel like roddys story isnt adding up. He said they asked the guy to bring the clothes too ye, but in the guys video you can literally see that after the assistant offered a price for the clothes he said they hadnt talked about it. And even if they did, they probably would have already discussed about the price, not offer it to him on the day of.
When he gave up the grammy they probably thought we will push him for more since the threats worked so well. I’m with the storage diver, I don’t know this Roddy person or what he won for. Is this his only grammy? The storage guy didn’t just stumble onto the unit, it’s his job. Filming and selling things from abandoned units is what he does.
The man bought the storage unit. EVERYTHING in that unit belongs to that man. He could've asked for any amount of money for that Grammy because legally, it's HIS! However, I don't think for a second he demanded ANY money! But so what if he did? Also, he NEVER said where the threats were coming from. People need to leave that guy alone!
Storage units don't go up for auction over one late payment. There would have been several letters sent from the storage place, phone calls, etc. If this guy is so irresponsible that he didn't care where his stuff was at for MONTHS, I have no sympathy for him. An assistant got hurt? That sucks. Hire someone to take over and make sure people know what's going on. Screw this guy, I don't believe anything he says.
I travel for work to the point I don’t actually have a permanent place so I keep a storage unit. There’s 3 things I have that mean more to me than anything in the world. A framed picture of my mom before her passing, a framed picture of my dad and I on my college graduation and my actual diploma. I went through a hard time in life so these things mainly represent getting back on track and remind me what I’ve accomplished plus it keeps me motivated, extremely sentimental to me. They have NEVER been in my storage! Idc if I’m in a hotel or an apartment those things stay with me! There’s no way in hell if that Grammy meant ANYTHING to him it wouldn’t be in there. My things are only valuable to me and I can’t imagine leaving them to rot in a storage yet he didn’t even bother to pay it? Regardless of your opinion of ol buddy Roddy wasn’t worried about that Grammy fr.
You are making so many assumptions, you don't know why it was know there initially. It was mishandled because someone almost LITERALLY DIED. Assuming things are terrible, I could assume a multitude of things about you being homeless, but that would be wrong, homelessness does not equate a moral failure. Just like using a storage unit doesn't mean you care...
"I offered him 10 bands but he said he wanted 50" but then the guy just gives it to him for nothing, yeah I smell bull. What a nasty entitled little lying brat that rapper is, dude can't even keep his story straight.
Worked at a storage place here. If the assistant is well enough to claim the grammy at the police station then, he would have been well enough to claim the unit back before it was sold. Usually, the facility would give enough time for a storage unit to be claimed if it was in an auction list. If they wanted the items back from storage guy, like all of it(the clothes and other stuff aside from the grammy), they should offer a price and negotiate. As for a sentimental item being in a storage..... If it was really valuable to you, you'd keep it close. Not where you can potentially forget it. Also, if an assistant of yours was in an accident and needed time to recover, do you really just not get a temp to handle their responsibilities while your assistant is recovering?
So, the sentimental item was in a storage unit that was so inconsequential that no one paid the bill. People on the internet are nicer than I thought. The grammy is technocally and legally his property. He could have sold it to the highest bidder, and if the highest bidder is its original owner, then praise God.
My husband is a musician and if he ever won a Grammy he wouldn't let it out of his sight. He sure as heck would notice if it went missing for months. I don't know the rapper but he just seemed very full of himself and very much looking down on the storage unit youtube guy. Even if the guy asked for 200million to return the Grammy, that became his right the minute Roddy stopped paying his storage fee and the guy's bid for the locker went through. It couldn't have been that sentimental if he didn't miss it for months. He should stop having so many assistants and take care of things that mean so much to him himself. I also believe that his assistant could have threatened the storage guy, it's not like rappers & their associates are known for their non violent nature.

Why are people unnecessarily and continuously bringing Nipsy into this???

It’s wild the Grammy is so important but only one person could apparently pay for it or get it has a near fatal accident bro didn’t care until it was found
Okay I'm only 4 minutes in, but my opinion so far is; storage units only get put on sale if they aren't being paid for anymore, so whoever had the storage unit clearly didn't really care about it anymore. Maybe it was a mistake and they forgot the Grammy was in there but they have got to come out and say that (and maybe they have and I just haven't seen it yet in the video). In my opinion he bought the storage unit and just happened to be very very lucky, I think it's understandable why he made the video. I don't know if he makes content like that already, maybe he buys storage units all the time and this was just another video and he happened to get something really good, maybe? I feel like it's his right to do what he wants with it, if he paid the money. Edit: i finished the video and Idk i still feel the same way? He gave it back, and maybe there was some miscommunication or misunderstanding but its all off camera and shouldn't be public anyways, i imagine. If i have anything to say it's that he asked for a video, not money? This just feels like awkward miscommunication.
@TurkeySandwich-t6t cause i felt like writing my thoughts before and then after, idk. There weren't many comments discussing the video so i thought i would
Wow, what a cursed item! Edit: Why was there nothing in writing? That celeb should have had an email explicitly saying everything he wanted back and for how much. Idk, after working a corporate job i know to ALWAYS get things in writing. I strongly doubt the celeb asked for the rest of his stuff, he just assumed this guy would give it all back at the same time as the grammy. Cameras being present at the hand off was a given so idk why they're complaining 😅 manage your belongings better.
Sounds like what Ronny's team said happened was different than what actually happened. "Yeah we offered him the money", "he said he'd bring the clothes" "we never threatened him"
The finder legally owned the Grammy now. He was entitled to charge whatever he wanted to. He could've auctioned it off to someone else. Roddy Rich is a millionaire, the finder is a regular dude. So sleazy not to give the finder any money. Even apart from the threat stuff.
''trying to create a moment out of it'' man no one goes to the police to overlook handing off a valuable object to CREATE a moment, he was trying to AVOID ONE
It is actually Illegal to Sell a Grammy Award Statue because the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences Legally Owns the Statues. The Recording Academy has banned the Resale of Grammy Awards. The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences can Legally sue you even if the Grammy award is not yours, but your just selling.
So, if its SO sentimental to not only Roddy Rich but everyone who loved Nipsey, WHY was it in a storage unit in the first place? Idgaf about the sob story about why the millionaire didnt pay his bills, thats not a safe place for something that means so much to so many people. AND THEN you say you'll "throw him some money" if he brought the clothes like he's broke and needs Roddy to throw him a bone just to eat...i think Roddy would do well to remember which one of them didnt pay their bills, and which one of them was buying storage units. All that posturing is so disgusting, like you were careless with a priceless possession...it never should've been in a storage unit and now youre trying to turn things around and make the other guy look bad for doing his literal job, which is buying storage units and selling the contents 🤦♀️
So Roddy Rich is so important that he doesn’t even need to know where his Grammy is being housed and how it’s being paid. He knows his “assistant” is hospitalized and never checked to make sure his responsibilities were passed over. Storage places don’t just put your stuff for auction after 1 missed payment, they wait months before selling. They also call you, a lot, to pay your bill, your saying no one checked the assistants phone? Now I know why people call him washed up at his young age.
Dude should have kept and sold the Grammy. If it was that important someone would have noticed it missing and tracked down where it was. Greedy music producer calling it extortion.. really..?
For those wondering, it’s illegal to sell the award because of copyright/trademark laws. The reason resale is legal in the US is because of the first sale doctrine. In order for something to qualify for the first sale doctrine, it has to have been legally purchased from the copyright holder. Though this is a VERY grey area since it was legally purchased through a storage auction… and it’s questionable if that counts
I don't believe Roddy Ricch.. Roddy said " he didn't pull up with anything" Oh what about this sentimental Grammy that ment so much to these people. Never deal with people like Roddy they are always the victim
I think the family just got pissed because they saw their stuff in another person's possession. They felt like they shouldn't have to pay anything, because in their mind it's theirs..... But it wasn't theirs anymore! I think that Ronny Rich is lying about everything he said happened. That guy should not have given it back to them
This is the weirdest situation I cant tell who is lying about the 50K thing. And i think its stupid that It was handled this way. Obviously the storage guy was looking to make content out of this and it was executed awkward AF. I think it was right to give the grammy back. But i dont think he was obligated to give anything beyond that back to Roddy. You lose ownership of things you keep in storage that you haven't paid. So Realistically he didnt even need to give the grammy back, but ethically it was the right thing to do. I can 100% understand that LIFE gets in the way of us remembering to do things sometimes like... pay the storage unit. Ive been there done that with many things in life. This situation is just special because... well... its a friggen Grammy
So maybe an unpopular opinion... I keep seeing people criticizing him having the grammy in the storage unit and not paying. I'm curious about who he put in charge of this. I've been a personal assistant and you would be floored at the obscure requests we get. PAs often set up payments and accounts with their own info. That sounds crazy, but one of my employers had all of their invoices go through me to pay with their card, but it was all my contact info. So idk, I wonder what the situation with that and moving his items were. I think that could explain a lot here.
Im not gonna sit here and act like roddy rich isnt gang related, his team most definitely threatened this man 😂 and he probably had a different attitude before he hopped on camera. Im not fooled by his calm composure after the fact...
I'm getting way too jaded, I read the title and thought, "oh no there was a granny living in the shed? Did they find someone's grammy (grandma) in the suit case?" 😂😂
Tbh I can’t hate on someone trying to capitalize on finding a Grammy in a storage unit. In this economy?!! Regardless of whatever else happened, Roddy Rich should’ve still paid him when he gave it back.
I'm confused why he's claiming there were two cops and three people with cameras. The video we saw had the person holding the camera waving it around alot and it was very clearly an empty room beside the tiktoker, the assistant, one other camera guy, and the cop just barely looking in from the doorway and looking bored.
It’s his property the moment he won the unit. He can ask for a million dollars if he wants, it’s not extortion. Yeah asking for 50k is a lot but he’s well within his right. He owns it and you want it, that’s how business works.
I don’t think it’s extortion. Poor taste, sure, but he owns that Grammy now so he’s allowed to sell it, even to the original owner (if that is what happened)
EXACTLY! the tik toker owned it legally and rightfully so its not extortion. He could've asked for $5 million to sell it back to Roddy Rich and it would be legal.
He should’ve kept the Grammy findings to himself and not share it on the internet or at the VERY least covered the name of who it belonged too. He knew what he was doing and it back fired on him.
If it’s so sentimental, then Roddy can buy it back 🤷🏻 It’s just weird to me that if it was sentimental that he would have it in a storage locker. The storage locker guy bought it, so it’s his property now. Sadly, there are tons of people’s stuff that get sold in storage lockers, but it’s suddenly different and bad now that’s a celebrity.
If the Grammy was so sentimental why was it in a storage unit and not in his house on display ?? It takes a while on no payment on a storage unit for them to decide to auction them off.
Roddy sounds sketch AF. He prob had his team threaten the storage guy cuz he air it on tictok. If he really care about his Grammy he would have had it with him not in a storage unit he can’t even bother to pay for😂
Why was all of this stuff even in a storage locker to begin with? It doesn't make sense why a celebrity like that would randomly shove a bunch of expensive stuff in a storage locker and forget about it (even before the assistant got in the accident and missed the payments on it). And if the grammy was so sentimental, why did they not know what happened to it until they found the storage guy's video on TT? The storage locker company would have sent out so many warnings before auctioning it off. Also, they would have had to miss multiple months of payments before it went to auction. So I find it hard to believe that no one checked the injured assistant's emails/texts in all that time and/or remembered the grammy was at the storage unit and called the storage place directly.
Does Ronnie have no idea how social media works? Yeah they're going to want a video out of it. Hell everyone wants a video out of stuff now. I can't imagine anyone under the age of 30 not asking for a video
WHY does this seem ‘off’ clearly they’ve said something to storage unit guy and he just wants the Grammy OUT of his possession. 1. They didn’t send the right guy 2. NOW you want to mention the clothes and ‘can we just give you cash for the clothes?’ Bro, WHAT CLOTHES?! Obviously this stuff didn’t mean much to you because it was in a DEFERRED storage unit! THIS is why I tell people STOP idolizing these PEOPLE! At the end of the day they’ll just throw money at you to ‘fix’ a situation! Smh
Honestly if the dude didn't make the tiktok, Roddy would've never known the Grammy was missing in the first place
This!!!
Dude thats so true
Facts! 😂 He wanted the smoke until the heat started to burn.
Or he didn't care to begin with. If it was SO special, it should have been sitting in the seat next to him, in the limo on the way home!!
He might have already known, just didn't know it was in the storage locker so he thought he lost it somewhere
It's so dumb to me how someone can find something in a storage unit and random people online feel they are in the right to send death threats to them over if they decide to give something they found back or not.
Whatever happens after is something Im not sure of but people gotta stop acting like moral busybodies while throwing out death threats.
True
I sometimes watch magnet fishers
There's one guy that I watch that goes to places where a lot of people have dropped belongings
Most things he's found are phones, apple watches and jewelry
Most people complained that he sells the stuff he finds
To protect himself from physical threats he sometimes makes video where he takes the electronics or jewellery to friends to see if anything can be done to help find the owners
Quite often the owners are found and he makes videos of him either physically returning the items or showing them being boxed up to be sent
It's only the rest of the stuff that he pawns off if no one collects
True and at thr same time he win that storage unit
Iffff it was from people only, and not his people,or him... if! The energy was definitely weird and sus like he was scared.
I have a theory it’s all kids who never had a job on tiktok…,instagram and RUclips comments all are on the storage guys side
Right. Also death threats- wouldn't those be immoral busybodies?!
I hold no hope for humankind anymore to be totally honest😪
He gave the award (That means SO much) to an assistant, with clothes, to put in a cheep storage unit? Then never tried to find it?... Doesnt it take 6 MONTHS for units to be classed as abandoned? (Even if it's 3, still enough time!)
Piss off. The guy who bought it had every right to do what he wanted with everything he found!
Takes about 6 months. I fell on hard times and was 3 months behind once. They didn’t care enough about it to hold on to it
I believe it usually 6 Months, However depending on teh costs... They may hold the unit longer to recover any debt, and if that fails then it auctioned...
And again, You are Spot on... He Legally Purchased the contents of that unit! So all its contents now are his to do with as he pleases... Offering to return the Grammy at all was a Courtesy!
Now... I am going to be a bit of a "Well Ackhtually" guy here... I think part of why this has become so Viral and "Interesting" is there is another route he could have taken to get teh Grammy back to This Fella, and it is actually the PROPER ROUTE according to the Grammys themselves... It should actually be returned TO THEM... They then Reissue it to the award recipient! Now, I appreciate that not many may know that but they actually do have a section about it on their website!
So Yeah, It should have been returned to The Awards Body itself... The more you know!
@@Phoenix2312that might be true, but the youtuber had no obligation to the Grammy's or to Roddy. Grammys can't do anything if he sold it, it's not a crime. Also, the youtuber didn't accept the award so therefore there can't be any stipulations or contract with him and the Grammys.
The Grammys might have a contract with the people who are awarded the Grammy and there can be rules and stipulations that the awardie, idk if that's a word, lol, might have to contractually agree to but the youtuber had no obligations to the Grammys.
@@Phoenix2312 Excellent point about returning it to the Grammy's organization. I did not think of that in my reply.
my dad owns storage facilities, they send out PLENTY of warnings before the unit goes to auction. they send warnings in the mail and on email. multiple times! this shouldn’t have been a surprise
14:30 here is where I’m sensing some lies. He’s saying “we’ll give you some money for that, bring the clothes too”… In the exchange video AFTER the storage bro puts the Grammy down you hear the assistant/roddie say “can we give you some money for the clothes?”…. The storage bro sounded like he had no idea that money was being exchanged for the clothes OR the Grammy. Someone is lying and the storage dude looked scared AF.

And he’s a celebrity, I’m sure he can afford the shipping
Agreed stupid to leave it is a locker
A storage unit they stopped paying for aswell
@@Jerry-Jardorc69you would think they would pick it up before they stopped paying if it was so sentimental
@@Jerry-Jardorc69 for at least 3 months, probably more 6 months if they decided to auction it to recoup the loss and get their unit back.
So they did the hand off in a police station with 3 cops as escorts to storage locker guy?!? Dude was definitely threatened by Roddys team, imo to go to those lengths. Roddys a total dbag for not even being grateful for getting his granmy back instead saying storage guy didn't even bring the clothes like what?!?
i the think it’s funny how they can sell off people most prized possessions without a care in the world when it’s poor people, but when a rich person’s storage unit with expensive things hets bought, it’s a problem. My mom couldn’t afford to pay the storage unit on time once and we lost EVERYTHING. we lost my baby pictures. no one cared, it probably got sold off and someone threw it away. honestly i don’t really care if the grammy gets back to him or not. the person should have to pay for it back just like everyone else
Yeah but he's rich so obviously the world works different for him 🙄
I dont mean to sound obtuse but after P. Diddy I the entire music industry.
Also dont forget, if the The artist is so rich...why didn't he just hire a P.I. to find it?
I think he's more mad he got caught slacking.
You make a really good point and I agree. We need to STOP treating any kind of celebrity like they are more important than everyone else.
Your mom doesn’t have the power of the masses. And I didn’t see any posts about her stuff so your mom losing her storage really isn’t our problem nor does it affect culture. But nipsey was culture and died for it too. A life was lost and is connected to it.
50k seems cheap. Storage hunter should have been paid, grammy guys team is full of cow dung

@@Brett323 The artist cannot sell their own Grammy. However, Grammys have been auctioned off by family and estates of artists. I would argue that sets a precedent. Everything in that storage unit passed into the ownership of the storage unit management at the time of foreclosure on the unit.

Id have kept, wouldn't have even posted thst part of the vid so if I did decide to sell it, it would be in secret. Morally Roddy should have cared about it but he didnt.

no fr, poor people get their shit sold off all the time so why is this case any special?
Seriously, and it was "sooooo" important to him and this guy was being kind enough to return it for free when he didn't have to, but the artist was such an entitled brat he couldn't bother to come IN PERSON himself to pick it up, shake the man's hand, and say thank you?! Disgusting.
Assistant was in a coma. WATCH BEFORE YOU POST, PEOPLE! 🤦🏾♀️
No one else thinks it's odd that a famous person would have a couple of random pieces of clothes and a Grammy in a storage unit to begin with? That's super weird. Paid or not paid. Why?????
To me it sounds more like they were all partying really hard at the time he got the Grammy and were probably traveling a lot. He probably took all of the random stuff on one of their stopovers and threw it in storage thinking he’d just pick it up later. The stuff was too random to think he had any intention of storing it for any real length of time. Then the assistant had his accident and it was one of those things that slipped through the cracks. Idk
@ but it was two shirts and a Grammy. Not lots of random things. But maybe. SMH.
Probably staged to bring his name start chirping again
The least Roddy could've done is agree to thank you him. He obviously didn't miss it too much or he would've asked where the storage with his Grammy is. Him and his team should be ashamed of how to treated him. Def a pos move!
He tried to sell a Grammy. You can’t. A simple google search would have revealed that to him. All the other stuff he made his year on the value of those items.

You'd think something like a grammy would be in your house, if not on display in a cupboard. If it meant that much to him it wouldn't be in a storage locker
My thoughts exactly
He was in the middle of a move
Things happen where you have to move and you don't have a place to put things. What you said is incredibly biased. I've had to put my most cherished possessions in storage because of my living situation. Unless you know his ENTIRE situation, what you said is just what YOU think.

I'm sorry but he didn't plan on finding that item so how was this all for clout and extortion? It was legally his to do what he wanted with and for Roddy to play the game of "cover my a$$" is ridiculous.

If he has it by rights - the minimum he should get off it is some clout. Like shiiiiiiish.
for real "this wasn't about him getting it back to me, he just wanted cloud from it" well OF COURSE, that's his job? Like?! He would be stupid not to use this once in a lifetime chance. Are you expecting him to just give it back to you as quietly as possible solely from the pureness of his hard? Thats not how humans work, even if you're a celebrity and especially if you're rich.

Roddy needs to look up the definition of ‘extortion’ AND clout. while he is at it, look up GRATITUDE! What an asshole! The storage guy is ‘looking for clout’!? Its his JOB to buy stuff and then show what happens.
I just looked it up and depending on state a storage unit can't be sold unless the person doesn't pay 30 to 90 days after payment due ... so someone having an accident wouldn't be a valid excuse ... he had time to pay and time to pay late ... and who keeps a Grammy in a storage unit? He probably wouldn't have cared if it wasn't blown up on sm because it looks bad on him

what I really found irritating was the fact that Roddy said that he asked him to bring the clothes and they would "throw him some money" as if they would be doing him a favor for paying him for the clothes he now own? He bought the stuff in the storage unit fair and square, those are now his things, and Roddy can buy it back at fair retail price or not at all. People get evicted from storage units when they fall on hard times, and their personal belongings get auctioned of, but no one is saying that the person who bought their things have an obligation to give it all back. RODDY IS RICH. He couldn't even be bothered to go there and pick the grammy up himself! His manager was in an accident and couldn't pay it, but for six months (it takes 6 months before a unit is considered abandoned) everyone ignored the reminders that the storage definitely sent, and no one thought to maybe pay the bill? Did no one pay any of his other subscriptions/taxes/mortgage? Roddy must be in some deep debt by now after his manages let everything go to shit, right?

People are allowed to use storage units if they want and I legitimately don't get why this is what you took away from this.
Grammy isn’t something you store it is something you display.
And usually they would contact people and wait weeks-months to auction a unit in all that time no one took over
Nah. I would get the police involved for my protection because you’re not getting it back if this is how you treat me. He found the award if it meant anything then it would not have been left in storage. And then to not even have the decency to say thank you and shake my hand but you’re not getting it back.
Granted I'm not from America but I've always been taught to return things to the police station ; found a wallet ? Police station. Key cars ? Police station. That way there's at least a trace that you handed the item, whatever happens after is not my problem and I can't be held accountable for it.
Bruh if I bought a Grammy you bet your ass I wouldn't be handing it back for free.
Don't get me wrong, it's super sad that one guy passed away, and if it has been his Grammy then I likely would've given it back to his family, but if this was so important to Roddy then he shouldn't have left it in storage.
Even if the storage hunter guy DID ask for 50K that's his right to do so. But nah, I think Roddy just didn't want to do the video because he thinks he's better than people. You can tell it in the way he talks about them just wanting "clout". He looks down on influencers and didn't want to be seen interacting with him.
Here's the thing about tis whole story and part of why its gone so viral... I knew I had heard a similar story some years ago... And I am trying to find it now so that I can confirm it... A Grammy was found in a House Clearance... Now in this case, The artist it was awarded to had passed on, but there was a possibility family may have wanted it... Tracking teh family was an issue though! But it did bring to light What should you do if you find an Award be it an Oscar, A Grammy or whatever!
And rules were clarified... The Award should be returned to the Awards Body and they will then return it to the Recipient or their family. I believe in most cases a small reward is paid but I am not certain on that or what the amount would be...
While these Awards are not exactly Valuable (Except teh Oscars, I believe they are still mostly solid gold... ) - They do cost quite a lot of money to manufacture, and Awards Bodies do often replace lost or damaged awards at great expense to them! So, Of course they woudl prefer they be returned if found.
None the less, The Storage Hunter Fella was well within his rights... Regardless of how the Storage Unit got abandoned, He legally purchased all its contents! If he really wanted to return the Grammy, his best bet woudl have been to return it directly to teh Grammys who would have then reissued it to the Artist! But at the same time, It took me a lot of research to find that on their website! That is their preferred way of doing things and very few woudl have any idea about it as its so bloody hard to find any information!
Bruh I was thinkin I woulda put that thing up on ebay and let him go in a bidding war for it LOL
You can't sell Grammys though, lmao.
@@ahahaha3587 show me the LAW, not rules made up by a non governing agency, where it says it's illegal to sell a grammy.
@ahahaha3587 Grammy winners can't sell their own Grammy or else the award can be revoked. Private citizens can do whatever they want with them.
Roddy Rich who? Lmao. What an a-hole, he didn't even realize the Grammy was missing. No matter what he should have offered the guy finder's compensation.
I would've never posted the video of finding it and immediately put it up for auction. If he wants it back he can pay for it. First mistake was publicly announcing he was in possession of it in the first place
15:31 bruh why do I feel like roddys story isnt adding up. He said they asked the guy to bring the clothes too ye, but in the guys video you can literally see that after the assistant offered a price for the clothes he said they hadnt talked about it. And even if they did, they probably would have already discussed about the price, not offer it to him on the day of.
When he gave up the grammy they probably thought we will push him for more since the threats worked so well. I’m with the storage diver, I don’t know this Roddy person or what he won for. Is this his only grammy? The storage guy didn’t just stumble onto the unit, it’s his job. Filming and selling things from abandoned units is what he does.
The man bought the storage unit. EVERYTHING in that unit belongs to that man. He could've asked for any amount of money for that Grammy because legally, it's HIS! However, I don't think for a second he demanded ANY money! But so what if he did? Also, he NEVER said where the threats were coming from. People need to leave that guy alone!
Storage units don't go up for auction over one late payment. There would have been several letters sent from the storage place, phone calls, etc. If this guy is so irresponsible that he didn't care where his stuff was at for MONTHS, I have no sympathy for him. An assistant got hurt? That sucks. Hire someone to take over and make sure people know what's going on. Screw this guy, I don't believe anything he says.
I travel for work to the point I don’t actually have a permanent place so I keep a storage unit. There’s 3 things I have that mean more to me than anything in the world. A framed picture of my mom before her passing, a framed picture of my dad and I on my college graduation and my actual diploma. I went through a hard time in life so these things mainly represent getting back on track and remind me what I’ve accomplished plus it keeps me motivated, extremely sentimental to me. They have NEVER been in my storage! Idc if I’m in a hotel or an apartment those things stay with me! There’s no way in hell if that Grammy meant ANYTHING to him it wouldn’t be in there. My things are only valuable to me and I can’t imagine leaving them to rot in a storage yet he didn’t even bother to pay it? Regardless of your opinion of ol buddy Roddy wasn’t worried about that Grammy fr.
You are making so many assumptions, you don't know why it was know there initially. It was mishandled because someone almost LITERALLY DIED. Assuming things are terrible, I could assume a multitude of things about you being homeless, but that would be wrong, homelessness does not equate a moral failure. Just like using a storage unit doesn't mean you care...
Getting death threats for this situation where they fairly bought this unit in an auction is... BANG OUT OF ORDER! 😅
"I offered him 10 bands but he said he wanted 50" but then the guy just gives it to him for nothing, yeah I smell bull.
What a nasty entitled little lying brat that rapper is, dude can't even keep his story straight.
Damn cancel culture robbed this man of his treasure... He had full rights to auction it. God damn internet you ruined this guy's day.
He isn't a pirate and it isn't HIS TREASURE...he is a scumbag grifter...
I think it was the rich man who did it
Worked at a storage place here. If the assistant is well enough to claim the grammy at the police station then, he would have been well enough to claim the unit back before it was sold. Usually, the facility would give enough time for a storage unit to be claimed if it was in an auction list. If they wanted the items back from storage guy, like all of it(the clothes and other stuff aside from the grammy), they should offer a price and negotiate. As for a sentimental item being in a storage..... If it was really valuable to you, you'd keep it close. Not where you can potentially forget it.
Also, if an assistant of yours was in an accident and needed time to recover, do you really just not get a temp to handle their responsibilities while your assistant is recovering?
So, the sentimental item was in a storage unit that was so inconsequential that no one paid the bill. People on the internet are nicer than I thought. The grammy is technocally and legally his property. He could have sold it to the highest bidder, and if the highest bidder is its original owner, then praise God.
My husband is a musician and if he ever won a Grammy he wouldn't let it out of his sight. He sure as heck would notice if it went missing for months. I don't know the rapper but he just seemed very full of himself and very much looking down on the storage unit youtube guy. Even if the guy asked for 200million to return the Grammy, that became his right the minute Roddy stopped paying his storage fee and the guy's bid for the locker went through. It couldn't have been that sentimental if he didn't miss it for months. He should stop having so many assistants and take care of things that mean so much to him himself. I also believe that his assistant could have threatened the storage guy, it's not like rappers & their associates are known for their non violent nature.
I thought he was gonna find a GRANDMOTHER!!!! 😭🤣😅
That would've more interesting.
Omg that was my first thought too, like a poor dead Grammy 😅
Me too 😂😂😂
That seems 10,000x more likely
Dude had no care or idea where that Grammy was. I would have kept it after this reaction.
I’m not chronicalllly online but the way I’m always 14 seconds after upload is begininning to make me think differently 🤣 thanks for the content as always!!!!! #1 RUclipsr @youtube
Yep you are a YT addict now!! Hey the first step is admitting you have problem so your moving in the right direction girl!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is bogus. He had no obligation to give that stuff back
Why are people unnecessarily and continuously bringing Nipsy into this??? Yes he was part of the song but that was it, let the man rest 😒
Also why would you put something you’re insinuating is so important to you in a storage unit that wasn’t being controlled by you, or you won’t in the know in regard to the handling of??
It’s wild the Grammy is so important but only one person could apparently pay for it or get it has a near fatal accident bro didn’t care until it was found
If it was that special it shouldn’t have been in a storage locker. You can’t tell me he doesn’t have room for a Grammy in his house.
Okay I'm only 4 minutes in, but my opinion so far is; storage units only get put on sale if they aren't being paid for anymore, so whoever had the storage unit clearly didn't really care about it anymore. Maybe it was a mistake and they forgot the Grammy was in there but they have got to come out and say that (and maybe they have and I just haven't seen it yet in the video). In my opinion he bought the storage unit and just happened to be very very lucky, I think it's understandable why he made the video. I don't know if he makes content like that already, maybe he buys storage units all the time and this was just another video and he happened to get something really good, maybe? I feel like it's his right to do what he wants with it, if he paid the money.
Edit: i finished the video and Idk i still feel the same way? He gave it back, and maybe there was some miscommunication or misunderstanding but its all off camera and shouldn't be public anyways, i imagine. If i have anything to say it's that he asked for a video, not money? This just feels like awkward miscommunication.
@TurkeySandwich-t6t yeah half of my comment is answered not even a minute after a stopped to write it 😭
@TurkeySandwich-t6t my comment literally says "im only 4 minutes in"
@TurkeySandwich-t6t yeah? Im not sure what the issue is
@@TurkeySandwich-t6tbecause we yearn to yap
@TurkeySandwich-t6t cause i felt like writing my thoughts before and then after, idk. There weren't many comments discussing the video so i thought i would
Wow, what a cursed item!
Edit: Why was there nothing in writing? That celeb should have had an email explicitly saying everything he wanted back and for how much. Idk, after working a corporate job i know to ALWAYS get things in writing. I strongly doubt the celeb asked for the rest of his stuff, he just assumed this guy would give it all back at the same time as the grammy. Cameras being present at the hand off was a given so idk why they're complaining 😅 manage your belongings better.
Sounds like what Ronny's team said happened was different than what actually happened. "Yeah we offered him the money", "he said he'd bring the clothes" "we never threatened him"
The finder legally owned the Grammy now. He was entitled to charge whatever he wanted to. He could've auctioned it off to someone else. Roddy Rich is a millionaire, the finder is a regular dude. So sleazy not to give the finder any money. Even apart from the threat stuff.
''trying to create a moment out of it'' man no one goes to the police to overlook handing off a valuable object to CREATE a moment, he was trying to AVOID ONE
i saw the notification, jump on it. Thank you Markie, I'm always waiting for your videos
It is actually Illegal to Sell a Grammy Award Statue because the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences Legally Owns the Statues. The Recording Academy has banned the Resale of Grammy Awards. The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences can Legally sue you even if the Grammy award is not yours, but your just selling.
So, if its SO sentimental to not only Roddy Rich but everyone who loved Nipsey, WHY was it in a storage unit in the first place? Idgaf about the sob story about why the millionaire didnt pay his bills, thats not a safe place for something that means so much to so many people. AND THEN you say you'll "throw him some money" if he brought the clothes like he's broke and needs Roddy to throw him a bone just to eat...i think Roddy would do well to remember which one of them didnt pay their bills, and which one of them was buying storage units. All that posturing is so disgusting, like you were careless with a priceless possession...it never should've been in a storage unit and now youre trying to turn things around and make the other guy look bad for doing his literal job, which is buying storage units and selling the contents 🤦♀️
2:59 I thought you had said granny and was really worried for a sec
So Roddy Rich is so important that he doesn’t even need to know where his Grammy is being housed and how it’s being paid. He knows his “assistant” is hospitalized and never checked to make sure his responsibilities were passed over.
Storage places don’t just put your stuff for auction after 1 missed payment, they wait months before selling. They also call you, a lot, to pay your bill, your saying no one checked the assistants phone?
Now I know why people call him washed up at his young age.
Dude should have kept and sold the Grammy. If it was that important someone would have noticed it missing and tracked down where it was. Greedy music producer calling it extortion.. really..?
Why the F is a Grammy in a storage locker? No one else thinks that’s weird? Something of that value not in the artist’s possession???
That Roddy guy seemed more annoyed with the fact the guy wanted to meet at a police station… stopped him from doing anything to him.
Markie you have no idea how desperately I was trying to find something to watch 😅 (had chores to procrastinate)
For those wondering, it’s illegal to sell the award because of copyright/trademark laws. The reason resale is legal in the US is because of the first sale doctrine.
In order for something to qualify for the first sale doctrine, it has to have been legally purchased from the copyright holder.
Though this is a VERY grey area since it was legally purchased through a storage auction… and it’s questionable if that counts
I don't believe Roddy Ricch.. Roddy said " he didn't pull up with anything" Oh what about this sentimental Grammy that ment so much to these people. Never deal with people like Roddy they are always the victim
I think the family just got pissed because they saw their stuff in another person's possession. They felt like they shouldn't have to pay anything, because in their mind it's theirs..... But it wasn't theirs anymore!
I think that Ronny Rich is lying about everything he said happened.
That guy should not have given it back to them
This is the weirdest situation
I cant tell who is lying about the 50K thing. And i think its stupid that It was handled this way. Obviously the storage guy was looking to make content out of this and it was executed awkward AF.
I think it was right to give the grammy back. But i dont think he was obligated to give anything beyond that back to Roddy. You lose ownership of things you keep in storage that you haven't paid. So Realistically he didnt even need to give the grammy back, but ethically it was the right thing to do.
I can 100% understand that LIFE gets in the way of us remembering to do things sometimes like... pay the storage unit. Ive been there done that with many things in life. This situation is just special because... well... its a friggen Grammy
Roddy sounds privileged as hell
So maybe an unpopular opinion...
I keep seeing people criticizing him having the grammy in the storage unit and not paying. I'm curious about who he put in charge of this.
I've been a personal assistant and you would be floored at the obscure requests we get. PAs often set up payments and accounts with their own info. That sounds crazy, but one of my employers had all of their invoices go through me to pay with their card, but it was all my contact info. So idk, I wonder what the situation with that and moving his items were. I think that could explain a lot here.
Im not gonna sit here and act like roddy rich isnt gang related, his team most definitely threatened this man 😂 and he probably had a different attitude before he hopped on camera. Im not fooled by his calm composure after the fact...
I'm getting way too jaded, I read the title and thought, "oh no there was a granny living in the shed? Did they find someone's grammy (grandma) in the suit case?" 😂😂
Too early for a Sarah Boone joke?
@swedishmeatball4382 Nope! Fire away! Lmao 🤣
That Roddy guy is lying his ass off. Playing little miss innocent on his internet post.
This whole thing is a “ he said, he said” show receipts!
Tbh I can’t hate on someone trying to capitalize on finding a Grammy in a storage unit. In this economy?!! Regardless of whatever else happened, Roddy Rich should’ve still paid him when he gave it back.
I'm confused why he's claiming there were two cops and three people with cameras. The video we saw had the person holding the camera waving it around alot and it was very clearly an empty room beside the tiktoker, the assistant, one other camera guy, and the cop just barely looking in from the doorway and looking bored.
It’s his property the moment he won the unit. He can ask for a million dollars if he wants, it’s not extortion. Yeah asking for 50k is a lot but he’s well within his right. He owns it and you want it, that’s how business works.
This man talking about giving him 10 bands. He doesn’t even have curtains. H
My man should have given the Grammy to some charity to auction, thereby forcing the artist to pay $$$$$$
I don’t think it’s extortion. Poor taste, sure, but he owns that Grammy now so he’s allowed to sell it, even to the original owner (if that is what happened)
EXACTLY! the tik toker owned it legally and rightfully so its not extortion. He could've asked for $5 million to sell it back to Roddy Rich and it would be legal.
He should’ve kept the Grammy findings to himself and not share it on the internet or at the VERY least covered the name of who it belonged too. He knew what he was doing and it back fired on him.
If it’s so sentimental, then Roddy can buy it back 🤷🏻 It’s just weird to me that if it was sentimental that he would have it in a storage locker. The storage locker guy bought it, so it’s his property now. Sadly, there are tons of people’s stuff that get sold in storage lockers, but it’s suddenly different and bad now that’s a celebrity.
The dude is lying. He should be grateful for getting his Grammy back. He only received it because of Nipsy.
Essentially, not everything needs to be streamed
If the Grammy was so sentimental why was it in a storage unit and not in his house on display ?? It takes a while on no payment on a storage unit for them to decide to auction them off.
The storage guy legally obtained the grammy. No matter your opinion on it, he doesnt have to give it back, sell it back or do anything.
They did not deserve to get it back. That's the only one he ever got in his life and he didn't know what happened to it. Please
You know dang well they tried to pull some gangster ish on the guy and now they’re walking it back doing damage control.
Call me evil but I love that song my aaah would have put that on my desk and never uploaded the tiktok in the first place. Nobody would even know 😂
Sell it! It’s his property now!
People do too much. Like where is the disrespect? Where is the need for threats? People are weird.
Roddy sounds sketch AF. He prob had his team threaten the storage guy cuz he air it on tictok. If he really care about his Grammy he would have had it with him not in a storage unit he can’t even bother to pay for😂
He paid for it!! Not extortion whatsoever , it was his property that he paid for. These celebrities are stupid
Why was all of this stuff even in a storage locker to begin with? It doesn't make sense why a celebrity like that would randomly shove a bunch of expensive stuff in a storage locker and forget about it (even before the assistant got in the accident and missed the payments on it). And if the grammy was so sentimental, why did they not know what happened to it until they found the storage guy's video on TT? The storage locker company would have sent out so many warnings before auctioning it off. Also, they would have had to miss multiple months of payments before it went to auction. So I find it hard to believe that no one checked the injured assistant's emails/texts in all that time and/or remembered the grammy was at the storage unit and called the storage place directly.
Keep up the GREAT work Markie
Does Ronnie have no idea how social media works? Yeah they're going to want a video out of it. Hell everyone wants a video out of stuff now. I can't imagine anyone under the age of 30 not asking for a video
WHY does this seem ‘off’ clearly they’ve said something to storage unit guy and he just wants the Grammy OUT of his possession. 1. They didn’t send the right guy 2. NOW you want to mention the clothes and ‘can we just give you cash for the clothes?’ Bro, WHAT CLOTHES?! Obviously this stuff didn’t mean much to you because it was in a DEFERRED storage unit! THIS is why I tell people STOP idolizing these PEOPLE! At the end of the day they’ll just throw money at you to ‘fix’ a situation! Smh
