Macklemore tour removal Palestine

Robert Kraft reportedly called Ed Sheeran to say Macklemore is barred from Gillette Stadium, then rallied other owners to force an ultimatum: drop him or face venue bans across the board. That pressure led Sheeran and his team to remove Macklemore from the rest of the tour following backlash over his pro-Palestine statements at MetLife Stadium. Macklemore insists he, Ed Sheeran, and Pink aren't victims because they have careers, money, opportunities, safety, and global audiences to fall back on. He notes that whatever consequences they face for speaking out, they still get to go home to their families. The real victims, he says, are the Palestinian people.
