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.

    Sure, ok. Is the failing zionism in the same room with you? /s

    Has it been the failing zionism in Gaza, when hamas has been killing palestinians - even in the absence of israeli?

    Is it the anti-chauvenistic “measures” of ayatollahs - to hang and shoot thousands of protesting iranians (was it lately in the beginning of 2026)?

    Well, I don’t think so. Barking up the wrong tree, probably.
