This past week, Marlon Wayans’ home was broken into while his brother, Keenen Ivory Wayans, was inside. Marlon Wayans, known for his comedic prowess, and his famously funny family were the latest targets of burglars in the L.A. area.
According to law enforcement sources who spoke to TMZ, the incident occurred around 2:30 AM last Saturday. While Marlon was not home, his brother Keenen Ivory Wayans was present when two audacious thieves broke into the house. The intruders sneaked into the backyard, shattered a back window, and gained entry into the residence.
Keenen was reportedly awakened by the noise but did not realize the gravity of the situation. Believing it was nothing significant, he shrugged it off and went back to bed. It wasn’t until one of Marlon’s staffers returned to the house around 8:00 AM and discovered the home had been ransacked that the burglary came to light. Keenen was shocked to find that the thieves had made off with a safe and several thousand dollars in cash.
The police have since launched an investigation and are canvassing the neighborhood for any video footage that might lead to the culprits, but so far, no arrests have been made.
Marlon Wayans took to Instagram to assure his fans that he and Keenen are okay, expressing his gratitude. “God is so Good. Everyone is fine. I’m grateful,” he wrote. In a video posted on Thursday, the stand-up comedy star and “White Chicks” alum opened up about the home invasion, humorously suggesting that the burglars “pick a better” target next time.
In the minute-long video, Wayans quipped, “The most valuable thing in my house is my house. So, unless you’re gonna put that (expletive) on a truck and drag it away, then, yeah, man, you did well, but I don’t own (expletive).”
He further explained, “Sorry, I live a simple life with 2 cats and one of them is a 1994 Range Rover. You will need a jumpstart if you steal it ‘cuz the battery is dead,” adding, “I don’t have a bunch of cash or jewelry.”
Wayans also advised against home invasions in a heartfelt message to robbers: “Robbers don’t waste your energy or your life doing home invasions.” He elaborated on his Instagram page:
“Dear ROBBERS and OTHERS,
I am the WRONG N***** to ROB. Save your energy. I don’t have anything valuable in my house except MY HOUSE. Sorry, I live a simple life with 2 cats and one of them is a 1994 Range Rover. You will need a jumpstart if you steal it ‘cuz the battery is dead. Robbers don’t waste your energy or your life doing home invasions, shit is too heavy!!! You want to carry all that bullshit? Throw your back out, and for what?! I repeat I don’t own shit valuable. I don’t have a bunch of cash or jewelry. Please pick a better thank you and love you… still.”
