The rapper said as long as his family is good, he "doesn't give a damn" about losing material items.

Memphis rapper Young Dolph isn't going to let a little thing like getting jacked for his jewelry get him down. Last week, reports surfaced that Dolph was the victim of a robbery while he was eating lunch in a restaurant. Burglars smashed the window to his G-Wagon and grabbed a Richard Mille watch, a Patek Phillippe watch, a handgun, two chains, two pairs of Cartier sunglasses, a MacBook computer, an iPad and AirPods before they ran off. In total, it's estimated that the thieves got away with nearly $500,000 worth of items.

While making his way through Los Angeles International Airport, TMZ quickly caught up with Dolph to check in with him following the massive loss. "I was in a restaurant, they broke in the car...typical bulls***t," he said. "I really don't give a damn about that s**t. I'm too blessed and highly favored, you know what I mean? It's like, s**t like that, people like that, all of us put together, that's what makes the world go 'round."

As far as if he wants the perpetrators to be caught, Dolph said, "Once you do shit, you gotta be able to stand on it and whatever the consequences are behind that, you gotta be ready to deal with it. I'm straight. I'm in L.A." Then, Dolph announced his plans to be a big spender in the City of Angels, saying that he was going to buy a car, a house, and more jewelry. He said that as long as his kids and his baby mama are doing well, he doesn't care about the material things.
