Critics Slam Macklemore After Rapper’s Seattle Home was Burglarized While His Kids Were Inside

Grammy-winning rapper Macklemore’s Seattle home was reportedly broken into just after midnight on June 7th while his three young children and their nanny were inside.

According to police reports, two masked men allegedly used bear spray on the nanny before stealing thousands in luxury goods from the master bedroom.

The nanny escaped and called 911, though it's still unclear if Macklemore himself was home at the time.

The break-in comes just months after the rapper stirred controversy with protest tracks like “Hind’s Hall” and “F*ed Up,” which slammed police, U.S. leadership, and Israel’s war in Gaza.

Critics, including the Glendale Fraternal Order of Police, have now pointed to the irony of Macklemore needing police assistance after previously denouncing them as tools of white supremacy.

Macklemore’s Seattle home was robbed while his kids and nanny were inside, sparking backlash over his past anti-police lyrics amid calls for help during the break-in.
