Macklemore's home robbed with children inside, nanny doused with bear spray, police say
Macklemore's home in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle was the site of a home invasion as his nanny was maced with bear spray and his three children were present, according to law enforcement. A police report from June 7 shared with USA TODAY said shortly before 1 a.m., a nanny for three kids was sprayed with bear mace before leading two suspects to a master bedroom where they rummaged through drawers, cabinets, and "raided" a closet full of clothing, jewelry and shoes. The mostly redacted police report features the unredacted last name Davis, the legal name of Macklemore's wife, Tricia Davis, and refers to a homeowner as a "high-profile individual." Macklemore and Davis share three children: Sloane, Colette and Hugo. Macklemore clarifies remark made at pro-Palestine concert in Seattle: 'Sometimes I slip up' The report does not state if Macklemore, whose legal name is Benjamin Haggerty, was home at the time. The police report also said the nanny "believed the crime may have been politically motivated for some reason." USA TODAY reached out to reps for Macklemore for comment. In recent months, Macklemore has made headlines for pro-Palestine posts and was removed from a Las Vegas festival performance lineup for the inaugural Neon City Festival in Las Vegas after he referred to America with an expletive during the 'Palestine Will Live Forever' event in his hometown of Seattle. The nanny described her own body language as "twitchy" to the police and said the alleged suspects were aware she still had a phone on her, so one of the two men threw her on the ground and put a boot on her ankle before moving it to the back of her neck. He also took her phone. After the nanny began to scream, she said the duo got her up and pinned her against a wall and held her mouth shut before she bit onto his hand hard, which then caused him to let go. Police say she fled through the bathroom and escaped from the house, knocking on numerous nearby homes before one homeowner opened the door and allowed her to call the police inside.

Macklemore's home reportedly robbed with his children inside
Macklemore's Seattle home was reportedly robbed over the weekend while his three children were asleep in their rooms. The shocking home invasion incident unfolded shortly before 1am on Saturday, June 7, according to a police report shared with The Post by the Seattle Police Department. A woman, later identified as the homeowner's nanny, called the SPD at approximately 12:48am to report that two men had allegedly broken into the residence and sprayed her with bear mace. The address named in the police report matched the one listed in the voting record for Ben Haggerty, according to The Seattle Times, which is Macklemore's real name. It also left the name 'Davis' unredacted in one portion of the report, which matches the last name of Macklemore's wife, Tricia Davis. Macklemore and Davis, both 41, have three children: Sloane, 10, Colette, 7, and Hugo, 3. 'She [the nanny] escaped, but three children were still inside the house,' the police report read. '[The nanny] also added that the house belonged to a high-profile individual, [redacted], and that she believed the crime may have been politically motivated for some reason.' The Thrift Shop singer has been an outspoken supporter of Palestine amid the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict in Gaza. Last month, Macklemore shared a lengthy Instagram post in which he condemned the attacks on Gaza and the backlash that artists like himself were facing for 'standing up against a genocide.' He was also axed from a music festival back in September after he chanted 'f**k America' during the Palestine Will Live Forever charity music event in Seattle. Elsewhere in the report, the responding officer wrote that he found the nanny in 'obvious fear' at a neighbouring residence. She told the police that she was at the house and, after putting the three children to bed in their rooms on the second floor, witnessed two men entering a patio door near an office, according to the officer's notes. The nanny further alleged that the two men entered the home and sprayed her with bear spray, then yelled, 'Where are the jewels, b**ch?' She said she led them upstairs to the main bedroom, at which point the two suspects allegedly 'went through drawers, cabinets and raided the closet full of clothing, jewellery and shoes.' The SPD, in a separate release about the incident shared Saturday afternoon, said that the two men 'ransacked the residence, stealing thousands of dollars of items.' The nanny also claimed that she was thrown to the ground and physically assaulted by the suspects before managing to break free. '[The nanny] began to scream, so they got her up and pinned her against a wall, the shorter one holding her mouth shut,' the report stated. '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,' it continued. '[She] knocked on numerous residences before someone opened the door and allowed her inside to call the police.' Cops later arrived and found the residence in 'obvious signs of disarray.' The responding officers were able to 'safely extract' the three children from the home, at which point they were handed off to family members who had arrived at the residence. 'The house was searched and checked clear of any suspects, with the three children safely extracted,' the report read. 'There were obvious signs of disarray in the portions of the house described by [redacted] to be involved and bear spray was still present in the air through portions of the house.' 'Various family members responded to the scene,' it continued. 'I escorted the family and [redacted] to the house after the scene was rendered safe and the house was searched. The family members took custody of the children for the evening and took them to a safe residence nearby.'

Masked Men Break Into Macklemore's Home, Bear-Spray Nanny While Kids Sleep
Masked Men Break Into Macklemore's Home, Bear-Spray Nanny While Kids Sleep originally appeared on Parade. Two masked men broke into rapper Macklemore's Seattle home over the weekend, deploying bear spray on a nanny and stealing thousands of dollars in valuables — all while his three children, whom he shares with wife Tricia Davis, were inside. According to a police report obtained by The Seattle Times, the home invasion occurred just before 1 a.m. Saturday at a Capitol Hill residence reportedly listed in public records as belonging to the Grammy-winning artist. Macklemore, whose legal name is Ben Haggerty, was not named in the redacted police report, but the outlet confirmed the address matched his voter registration. TMZ reported that the rapper was out of the country at the time, performing in Ireland. Seattle police were dispatched after the nanny reported that two intruders had entered the home, sprayed her with bear mace, and were still inside. According to the report, she had just put the children to bed when she saw two men enter through a patio door. One immediately sprayed her in the face with bear repellent. Despite the initial assault, the nanny told police that the man who sprayed her appeared 'fearful' and inexplicably began helping her rinse the bear spray from her eyes. The second suspect reportedly demanded valuables, shouting, "Where are the jewels, b--ch?" according to TMZ. The men then took jewelry, watches, and shoes before pushing her to the ground and taking her phone. In a separate incident report, the Seattle Police Department stated that 'thousands of dollars of items' were stolen from the home. The nanny told officers she bit one of the men before fleeing the house. She knocked on several neighbors' doors until one let her in to call 9-1-1. The suspects were later seen fleeing the scene, according to the police report. Thankfully, all three children were unharmed and were placed in the care of family members following the incident. Masked Men Break Into Macklemore's Home, Bear-Spray Nanny While Kids Sleep first appeared on Parade on Jun 10, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 10, 2025, where it first appeared.
