Macklemore‘s nanny was attacked by thugs when his home was burgled in Seattle.
According to Seattle Police, the rapper’s home was broken into in the early hours over the weekend.
Around 1AM on Saturday, police were notified about an alleged burglary by a caller who claimed she had been attacked with pepper spray and that the intruders were still in the home along with three children.
It is not yet known if Macklemore was at home at the time of the incident.

The nanny later told police that she had put the children to bed when she saw two men entering the property when one then attacked her with the spray.
In a twist, she then said one of the men began helping her clean the spray out of her eyes.
She claimed the man that helped her looked “fearful”.
The police said that thousands of dollars worth of items were stolen from the house including jewelry, watches and shoes as well as the nanny’s mobile phone.

The nanny also claimed to have bitten one of the burglars before they ran out of the house.
Video footage reportedly captured the men leaving the home.
Macklemore is yet to comment on the incident or the nature of the items that were stolen.
Macklemore has garnered a lot of attention recently over his support for the Palestinian cause during the ongoing conflict with Israel.

The rapper has also been accused of being “anti-American” by critics.
He then explained his political stance: “The last 11.5 months of watching a genocide unfold in front of us has been excruciating on a spiritual, emotional and human level. I have been in utter disbelief with how our government is showing up at this moment in history. I don’t think I’m alone.
“I see dismembered kids in Gaza being pulled out of rubble, murder by U.S manufactured bombs. I see my own children in their lifeless bodies. I don’t think I’m alone. I listen to their parents scream and hear the deepest cries of pain and helplessness imaginable. I cry with them. I don’t think I’m alone.
“And some days I wake up, see another couple billion dollars given to Israel, or another refugee encampment destroyed, or a father holding a limb from his martyred child, or another speech from a politician justifying the right of Israel to ‘defend itself’ while denying Palestinians the right to exist, and I say to myself…. ‘Fuck America.’ I don’t think I’m alone.”
