DJ Envy's celebrity status wasn't enough to keep him from enduring a major L at the airport this past weekend. On Tuesday (March 28), the media personality told those tuning into The Breakfast Club that he, unfortunately, lost a quarter of a million dollars worth of jewelry after crossing paths with an uptight TSA agent. After his co-host, Charlamagne Tha God lightly trolled him and pressed for the details, he sadly recounted his tragic loss.
"I was travelling from Atlanta back to New York on Friday I had my roller, my backpack and I have my blazer, you know, because I was just shooting," Envy began. He then noted that he wasn't able to put his blazer in his luggage as he didn't want it to crease. "Usually, I’m a Delta Million Miler, I’m Diamond, they don’t give me a problem. They just hang my jacket up for me," the author explained, though "[the] white woman" who he interacted with that day "was not trying to hear it."
DJ Envy Recounts His Unfortunate Loss
Envy told Charlamagne, "She was nasty. I don’t know if she had a bad day, but she told me I couldn’t do it. So I said, okay, I had to check my bag. When I went to check my bag, I remember my jewelry was in there. I was like, you know, let me take it out and put it in my backpack. When I went on a plane, I left the jewelry." The 45-year-old noted that he's attempted to contact Delta in hopes of tracking down the valuable pieces. Among them were a bust-down Rolex, a ring, and chains engraved with his wife and children's names.
While DJ Envy hasn't heard back from the airline quite yet, he did inform listeners that he at least has insurance on his missing jewelry. During TBC broadcast, one caller didn't hold back when telling the host about their disgust over the situation. "Okay, so you’re gonna pick this platform and use it to hope that she’s listening because you want her to bring it back to you, but Envy, nobody leaves Cartier at the airport. You want to know why? Because nobody who works a nine-to-five goes to the airport wearing a Cartier. Nobody does that. Why would you do that?" they asked. In response, Envy declared, "If I did it on purpose I would feel a lot easier but I didn’t do it on purpose. It’s sentimental!"
