A popular Australian singer and TikTok star was robbed at gunpoint within an hour of arriving in San Francisco on Saturday.
Clinton Kane and members of his crew were eating outside at "Rooster & Rice" in the city’s Cow Hollow neighborhood when they heard their car being broken in to on Filbert St., according to KPIX.
The 22-year-old was in San Francisco to film scenes for his upcoming album.
Kane told the station that he and two other friends approached the burglars during the robbery, and the two suspects pulled guns on them, forcing them to the ground with their hands raised.
"They were like don’t try anything, get out of the way. And they had the gun in my face," he said.
The thieves stole $30,000 worth of camera equipment and "everything" Kane’s team shot for an upcoming documentary, the station reported. Multiple windows in their vehicle were shattered with shards of glass spread on the ground.
Authorities said that suspects fled in a black 4-door Audi A6.
Kane’s songs have generated over 100 million streams and he is most well-known for his two singles, "Chicken Tendies" and "I Guess I’m in Love," which each reached the U.S Billboard Hot 100 list this year. He has 1.5 million followers on TikTok.
Kane is scheduled to return to San Francisco on December 5 for a concert at Brick and Mortar Music Hall.
