Addressing the robbers directly, he declared, "I am the WRONG N***** to ROB." He humorously pointed out the lack of valuables in his home, emphasizing, "Save your energy. I don’t have anything valuable in my house except MY HOUSE." Wayans went on to paint a vivid picture of his modest lifestyle, mentioning his two cats and a 1994 Range Rover.

"Robbers don’t waste your energy or your life doing home invasions, s--t is too heavy!!! You want to carry all that bull---t? Throw your back out, and for what?!" His candid remarks underscored the pointlessness of targeting his home. In a final gesture of goodwill and humor, Wayans signed off with a message of love, saying, "Please pick a better target, thank you and love you… still."

Furthermore, Marlon Wayans’ response to the burglary was a testament to his resilience and humor in the face of adversity. "I don't carry wads of cash, I use credit cards," he said. "Go down the street, there's lots of flashy n**** over there," he concluded in the video. Thankfully, it appears Marlon Wayans remains unfazed by the incident. Fans showed their solidarity.
