Macklemore suffered a terrifying home invasion over the weekend.
The Thrift Shop rapper’s Seattle home was targeted in a scary break in at around 1:00 a.m. on Saturday… and it was made even worse by the unfortunate fact that his three children and nanny were inside. Oh, no…
According to the Seattle Police Department, authorities were dispatched to the rapper’s residence after a caller — who was later identified as the nanny — claimed that two men broke in and sprayed her with BEAR MACE. Whoa!

The report stated:
“She escaped, but three children were still inside the house. [The caller] also added that the house belonged to a high-profile individual … and that she believed the crime may have been politically motivated for some reason.”
Whoa. That’s unsettling…
BTW, if you don’t follow Macklemore on social media, he’s been advocating recently for Palestine and those involved in the ongoing conflict with Israel.
The Seattle Times reported the burglars asked the nanny where the “jewels” were. She led them to valuables in the home, and the men took jewelry, watches, and shoes before forcing the nanny to the ground and taking her cell phone. However, she managed to free herself after biting one of the suspects and bolting out of the home, according to the police report:
“[The nanny] began to scream, so they got her up and pinned her against a wall, the shorter one holding her mouth shut. At this point, [the nanny] tried to kick the shorter one in the groin, but was unable to, so she bit onto his hand hard, causing him to let go. [She] then fled through the bathroom and out of the house. [She] knocked on numerous residences before someone opened the door and allowed her inside to call the police.”
Doorbell footage obtained by local news station King 5 shows her on the porch of another home in the Capitol Hill neighborhood shouting for help while wearing pajama pants. See (below):
Absolutely terrifying…
The SPD later revealed “thousands of dollars of items” were stolen by the unidentified men.
When officers arrived, they “safely extracted” the three children Macklemore shares with wife Tricia Davis — daughters Sloane, 10, and Colette, 7, as well as son Hugo, 3. The men were not captured, but they were seen on security footage fleeing the home.
It’s not clear if Macklemore, whose real name is Ben Haggerty was home at the time.
What a scary situation. We’re so glad everyone is physically okay, even though this is no doubt incredibly traumatizing for all. And we hope the suspects are captured soon!
