Houston rapper Slim Thug says God returned his jewelry that was stolen during the University of Houston Cougars’ NCAA championship game.
While Slim Thug was cheering on the Cougars during their title game against the Florida Gators in San Antonio, his downtown apartment was broken into and an unreported number of items were stolen. The burglars entered the house on Monday, April 7, between 3:30 and 11 p.m. and stole jewelry, money and other items, according to the Houston Police Department.

“Petty thieves hit a good lick man,” Thug said on Instagram on April 9. “They got me for my jewelry. I was slippin’ but we working on it.”

“I’m in the penthouse,” he continued. “How the f–k did they get in the penthouse, is what I wanna know … I’ma get this insurance money. I’ma buy me a car. I ain’t buying no jewelry. I ain’t finna go crazy, I got footage of n—as and everything. I ain’t going crazy over this s–t.”

Now, the “I Aint Heard Of That” rapper says his stolen jewelry has been returned to him, and he is citing a higher power as the reason for the miraculous recovery.

On Easter Sunday, Slim Thug posted a new video on Instagram of himself wearing several iced-out chains over his Houston Rockets jersey, along with multiple expensive-looking watches on both wrists. The caption reads, “POV Thieves stole your jewelry but GOD got it back.”

There have been no updates from the HPD about the robbery, so the jewelry somehow found its way back to the Houston A-lister. Slim did say he was going to receive insurance money, but made it clear he wasn’t going to replace his jewelry with it. Comments are pretty sure it was not a miracle per se, but some back-door dealings the thieves may have made.

“I mean who was they gone sell it to? Everyone who could buy it knew [whose] it was,” one commenter commented.

The chains are clearly personalized, crafted specifically for Slim Thug. Any thieves trying to fence the items in the Greater Houston area would presumably have trouble selling someone like Slim Thug’s personal belongings.

“We know who did the work, they didn’t want no problems from J,” another commenter theorized.

“J” refers to James “J Prince” Prince, founder of Rap-A-Lot Records, early Drake investor, and known power broker in hip-hop and Houston. Anything involving rappers in Houston, and it’s a good bet J Prince is involved in some shape or form. The comment suggests J Prince handled the situation and returned the jewelry to Slim Thug.

Slim Thug, ever grateful for the return of his personal belongings, posted follow-up posts on Instagram.

“Ima Always be blessed because I do right by people in real life, not just for show,” Thug wrote.
