Kraft removes Macklemore from Ed Sheeran tour over Palestine remark
Macklemore was removed from Ed Sheeran’s U.S. stadium tour after pro-Palestinian speeches and performances at MetLife Stadium led multiple venues and NFL owner Robert Kraft to decline hosting him. The rapper’s stage behavior, which included displaying Gaza destruction footage and leading "Free Palestine" chants, prompted concerns over hate speech and anti-Semitic imagery. Kraft cited a "broader history of anti-Semitic rhetoric and imagery" as reasons for barring Macklemore from upcoming shows, emphasizing support for fighting antisemitism while acknowledging the rapper's political stance. Macklemore blamed venue operators and Kraft for his removal and declined to accept accusations of hate speech.
