Tlaib Calls Out Sheeran on Palestine Silence | Hip-Hop News

Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib is furious with Ed Sheeran for dropping Macklemore from his tour, calling it a betrayal of Palestinian lives and a double standard where artists are praised for supporting Ukraine but punished for speaking up for Palestine. She accuses Sheeran of siding with billionaire interests—like Robert Kraft’s—over human rights, especially after Macklemore faced threats to cancel shows for waving a Palestinian flag. Tlaib condemns Sheeran’s selective activism, noting his donations to Ukraine while refusing to use his platform for Palestine, and says she no longer respects his stance. She links this to a broader pattern of silencing pro-Palestine voices and even calls for investigating Kraft’s ties to Epstein. Meanwhile, Macklemore still has strong support, as the mayor of Dearborn invites him to perform—showing that activism remains alive despite industry pressure.
