Rapper Macklemore is a vocal supporter of Palestine and Gaza residents. During a recent concert at MetLife Stadium, he yelled “Free Palestine!” onstage, projected images of devastation in the area, and performed protest song “Hind’s Hall.”
Now, it seems that American venues are not willing to play ball with the Seattle artist, and he has been dropped from Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour.
“After discussions with stakeholders, Macklemore will not be performing on the remaining support dates,” according to Messina Touring Group, the promoter of Loop Tour. This news follows backlash from organizations like StopAntisemitism and others, such as pop star Pink.
No. He was pressured by the venues and particularly Robert Kraft, lifelong friend of Trump, but made the decision himself.
Being under pressure to do something doesn’t relieve you from the responsibility.
pressured how or for what? this spinless soulless dungtard is worth hundrends of millions already. He’s a pro-genocide pos … no excuse
Is the dancers and backstage operators worth millions? There’s a lot of people working on this show as well as the fans who paid for hotels and travel that he has responsibility for too.
You might say, well who cares about them compared to the thousands being killed, and too that I’d ask you if that changes because Ed Sheeran decides not to have a concert.
Ed Sheeran can play a hundred other venues.
Mid tour? And how does it affect those who bought tickets and reserved travel and lodging?
Guy was in a rock and a hard place.
he literally has no problem doing fund-rising concerts for ukraine army… and what’s a fucking concert next to elite university students who risked and lost $80k tutions and deportations and their future careers to stand up for genocide. cannot put a lipstick on a pig
Ed has enough money to pay them out of pocket.
You’re a clown. Don’t post online if you’re just gonna defend those with all the power. Be a good foot soldier and suffer and die in silence like they want of you.
