A popular Brooklyn pastor Bishop Lamor Whitehead was live-streaming his service when three masked gunmen entered the church and robbed him.
Pastor Whitehead, who is the cousin of legendary female rapper Foxy Brown, got down on the floor on his hands and knees before the robbers went through and grabbed his jewelry, Media Take Out confirmed.

The New York City Police Department says the robbers stole between $400,000 and $1 million worth of jewelry from the pastor and his wife. They then took off from the scene in a white Mercedes Benz.
This isn’t the first time that Pastor Whitehead has been in the news. He once made an unsuccessful run for Brooklyn borough president, and is frequently seen driving around Brooklyn in a Rolls Royce.
After Sunday’s robbery, Pastor Whitehead responded to critics who say he’s too flashy.
“It’s my prerogative to purchase what I want to purchase. If I work hard for it, I can purchase what I want to purchase,” Whitehead said in an Instagram video.
