Grammy Awardee’s Trophy Turns Up in Abandoned Storage Unit
Rapper Roddy Ricch became embroiled in a strange situation this week when his Grammy Award was discovered in an unexpected location: an abandoned storage unit, purchased for a mere $280 at auction. The Grammy, celebrating Ricch’s 2020 Best Rap Performance for his contribution to “Racks In The Middle” by Nipsey Hussle, ended up in the possession of YouTuber Prieto Hunter.
Unexpected Discovery, Unexpected Demands
Ricardo Martinez, who purchased the storage unit, detailed his discovery on Instagram, posting a video featuring the gleaming Grammy Award sitting atop a box of miscellaneous items.
However, the encounter quickly took a turn, as Martinez accused Hunter of demanding $50,000 in exchange for returning the trophy. Martinez, in turn, claimed he initially offered Hunter $10,000 to return Ricch’s prestigious award.

“My personal assistant ended up getting into a near-fatal accident and had a severe brain injury. Going back and forth to Miami, I just put my stuff in storage for safekeeping. Him getting into that accident is how that shit got mishandled,” Clarified the artist. The statement drew attention to the chaotic and private struggles that often underlie public figures’ lifestyles.
