Third Suspect Charged In 2018 Robbery Of Nicki Minaj’s Ex Safaree

NEW JERSEY- A third suspect has been charged in the 2018 robbery of Nicki Minaj’s ex-boyfriend rapper Safaree.

The final suspect was found guilty on Thursday, reports NorthJersey.com.

Shawn Harewood’s trial began in June. He was being retried after a mistrial due to his former attorney’s withdrawal from the case, according to the news site.

Harewood, who grew up with Safaree, was reportedly the mastermind of the armed robbery, which took place in the parking lot of the rapper’s apartment complex in Fort Lee, NJ.

Prosecutors said Harewood recruited his cousin, and his cousin’s friend to carry out the robbery. Safaree was robbed of $180,000 in jewelry.

Harewood’s cousin, Tacuma Ashman, was convicted of in 2021 of first-degree robbery, weapons charges and resisting arrest.

The second suspect, Carl Harry, pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge in 2019.

Safaree is known for dating Nicki Minaj and appearing on VH1’s ‘Love& Hip Hop’: New York.
