Macklemore's Palestine Message Sparks Tour Controversy | Entertainment and Celebrity News

Macklemore sparked controversy at Ed Sheeran’s New Jersey show by dropping a “Free Palestine” message, igniting backlash and a petition demanding his removal from the tour. He clarified his stance targets policies, not people, calling for peace and equal rights globally — including in Gaza, Lebanon, Cuba, and for Americans facing ICE. His performance of “Hind’s Hall,” inspired by student protests and a Palestinian girl killed in Gaza, amplified the fire with visuals of Gaza and rallies. The Israeli-American Council accused him of pushing a one-sided agenda without Sheeran’s approval — though Sheeran’s team remains silent. Despite the storm, Macklemore is still on the bill for upcoming stadium dates, starting September 19 in Philly. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
