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.

      I’ve checked yours too. Here is a reminder (you might appreciate): if you say shit like that, but aren’t israeli youself, then you don’t actually give a shit about palestinians or your government making mistakes in Gaza, you’re just jumping on the bandwagon because it’s cool to hate Israel.

      Sorry (and glad) to disrupt your bubble!

      I’m also amazed at how happily and willfully many in the West fall victims for populists’ agenda and can’t talk like…civilised humans 💁

      Mate, thanks! I have a couple of hobbies already)
