"It's over... Somebody stole that from the crowd" he said.
He continued by addressing his fans,
"Yo, if there's anybody in the crowd, I would give you a $5000 reward, whoever finds my earring. Somebody from the crowd." Speed offered.
He added,
"Post it on twitter, please. I spent too much on them earrings, and they're new" he concluded before moving away from the camera.
