AceShowbiz - Sexyy Red is suing her former security guard for $500,000 after an incident where valuable jewelry and designer handbags were stolen during her mother’s birthday celebration, AllHipHop reports. A masked intruder entered a rented mansion through an unlocked door and made off with watches, necklaces, and other luxury items.

The dispute between Sexyy Red and her ex-guard Carl Thompson has intensified, with AllHipHop noting that Thompson was the last security team member to leave the property before the theft occurred. Wgci also detailed that the police investigation confirmed a door was left unsecured, enabling the burglar to access the mansion. Thompson, who was hired in May 2023 under a contract worth $180,000 annually, previously sued Sexyy Red in August 2025 for alleged underpayment. However, she denies those claims and countersues, insisting the security failures led to the costly burglary.

Sexyy Red is best known for her single "Get It Sexyy" released in 2024 and has garnered multiple nominations at the 2024 BET Awards, including Best New Artist and Best Female Hip-Hop Artist. This legal battle adds to her public narrative, following her rise as a notable figure in hip-hop throughout the past year.

This legal confrontation highlights the complications that can arise between artists and their personal security teams, especially when high-value assets are involved. The ongoing court proceedings will determine accountability for the significant losses sustained during what was meant to be a private family event.
