A promoter says that venues on future U.S. tour dates will not allow a show to go on with Macklemore on the bill.

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.

    That’s crazy because that exact Lupe song popped up on shuffle yesterday in the car (Words I Never Said ft. Skylar Grey). I haven’t heard that song in years! As it was playing I was listening to the lyrics, thinking to myself, “wow, nothing has gotten better in 15 years”. In fact, things have gotten worse! When will we get a break from all the awful things happening in the world?
