Talib Kweli's Laptop Stolen In Australia, Suspect Identified

Last night Brooklyn emcee Talib Kweli was performing in Melbourne, Australia with rapper Jean Grae when an intruder broke into Jean's dressing room and stole Kweli's laptop and cell phone.

The Black Star artist took to Twitter to alert fans of what happened. "Someone came in Jean Grae's dressing rm last night, stole my laptop & phone. They was with the opener whos dressing rm was next to mine."

According to video footage from the hotel, the thief was identified as Amir Elashir, a fan who wrote on Jean Grae's Facebook fan page just days before the show.

Talib Kweli later updated his Twitter status with "We have Amir Bashir # we called he said he had my phone and laptop and was gonna bring it then changed his mind."
