Rapper Rael was robbed this Saturday morning (6) in Villa-Lobos Park, west of São Paulo, where he gave a show in the afternoon of the same day.
Two criminals approached the artist as he left the park on a powerful motorcycle. A security camera in the park recorded the action of the criminals, who also took Raël’s cell phone and helmet. The motorcycle was recovered a few hours later by the GCM (Municipal Civil Guard) of Osasco.
In the images circulating on social networks, we can see that Raël validates the parking ticket before leaving the premises. As the door opens, two men approach him. One of them takes off the singer’s helmet and puts it on his head. The second gets on the back of the motorcycle without a helmet, then the two flee.
“I was not the first and I will not be the last to have been robbed,” Raël said in a story on his Instagram profile. In another video, he states that the cell phone was also recovered along with the motorcycle. “No, take action, brother. The greatest asset you have is yourself.”
The singer explained that he had his cell phone on the dashboard to use the navigator on the way home. “I think the cell phone overheated because it had a black screen,” he said. The motorcycle was found thanks to a tracker, he said.
Rael has been one of the biggest names in São Paulo rap since the early 2000s, when he founded the groups Can KND and Pentagono. He also recorded the song “Rap é Isso Aí”, with the group RZO.
None of the suspects have been found.
