"One of the only things worse than being robbed at gunpoint is realizing that you actually know one of the people who did it." Chicago Defender reports that is what happened to star producer Safaree.
It turns out that Safaree knows one of the people involved in the armed robbery he was a victim of. According to sources, his name is Shawn Harewood, an old friend of Safaree. Supposedly, they have known each other since they were 14.
He can be seen in an old photo of Safaree with his ex-girlfriend Nicki Minaj while in a nightclub, reports TMZ. The photo was taken around 2011 or 2012 at a club in Queens for Safaree’s birthday.
TMZ reported that Harewood was taken captive together with another person, Jonathan Ricketts right after the incident took place. According to the source, "They were caught on foot in upper Manhattan after police pursued them over the George Washington Bridge from NJ."
Safaree's attorney, James Leonard Jr., stated that this was not just a random armed robbery and "that his client was lucky to escape unscathed," implying that the attack on him was premeditative. Safaree's attorney had no comment about his client's connection to Harewood.
