Rapper Sexyy Red's Mom's Party Ends in $500K Heist

Rapper Sexyy Red, whose legal name is Janae Wherry, is embroiled in a legal battle following a significant theft during a birthday party for her mother. The event, held in January 2025 at a Florida mansion, saw $500,000 worth of jewelry and designer goods stolen by a masked individual.

Court documents filed in April 2026 reveal that Sexyy Red accuses her former security guard, Carl Thompson, of negligence, claiming he left a door unlocked, allowing the burglar access. Thompson was hired to provide security for the "birthday retreat."

However, Thompson vehemently denies any connection to the burglary. His attorney stated that police investigated and filed no charges against him. Thompson had previously filed a breach of contract suit in August 2025, seeking $80,500 in unpaid wages from 2023, suggesting Sexyy Red's counterclaim is a tactic to avoid payment.

Sexyy Red's counterclaim, filed in March 2026, alleges Thompson failed a polygraph test during a private investigator's probe into the burglary. Thompson has since filed a motion to dismiss this counterclaim, arguing he had no control over the premises. The rapper maintains that by allowing him to bring additional guards, Thompson had adequate resources for security.
