This started when the rapper McClamour used his support slot.
voice-verified
to make a political statement in support of Palestine.
voice-verified
What happened?
voice-verified
Yeah, which was met with a huge cheer from the audience.
voice-verified
McLemore then performed his song Hins Hall, which condemns Israel's military actions in Gaza and a video behind him showed scenes of destruction and devastation in Gaza on a big screen and and videos of that were shared very widely online.
voice-verified
But since then and and quite quickly
voice-verified
After he was pulled from all forthcoming shows in the rest of the US leg of Ed Sheeran's tour.
voice-verified
What do we know about the reasons why that decision was made and by who?
voice-verified
all over my social media and I'm sure a lot of people listening.
voice-verified
Okay, okay.
voice-verified
W we should mention that McClamore got into some trouble, was accused of anti Semitism in two thousand and fourteen when he wore a a costume that was deemed to be very offensive.
voice-verified
He apologised for that, but that has played into this somewhat, hasn't it?
voice-verified
And yeah, it feels like we're talking about two very different things here.
voice-verified
A costume that is clearly problematic, clearly had anti-Semitic undertones and for which Matt Clemore apologized, but then also an artist using one of the biggest stages of his career many years later, in the times that we're living through now, to address a crowd of tens of thousands of people and say the words
voice-verified
Free Palestine in support of Palestinian people.
voice-verified
It seems to me that that does not deserve censorship, nor does it warrant him being pulled from the rest of the US leg of this tour.
voice-verified
McLemore has released a very strongly worded statement as a result of what's happened.
voice-verified
What's he said?
voice-verified
Yeah, yeah, but clearly a sense of a relationship that has fractured.
