insane situation unfolding with the artist. Macklemore has been very outspoken in his pro-Palestine advocacy. He has been canceled from the Ed Sheeran tour after he had the audacity to say this.
I've been trying to figure out a way to say this all day. One of the reasons why I wanted to come on this tour was because I wanted to stand up here on stages and stadiums across America and say two words that are very near and dear to my heart, free Palestine. To all of my Jewish brothers and sisters, criticism of Israel, criticism of apartheid, being against genocide in no way is a criticism of you. My message is for peace, love, for all human beings to be treated with dignity, respect, and equality. So I say free Palestine.
So that's it. That's what he said. Shouldn't be controversial. Was not even remotely anti-Semitic. In fact, you hear him say there to clarify, this isn't about Jewish people. This is about criticism of the nation state called Israel. And yet this led to a total freakout. I don't know if you guys followed the whole thing with Pink, who was also on the tour, was criticizing him. There was a whole entire meltdown.
Wait, Pink?
Oh, you didn't know this? No, I
missed
this
part. Sorry.
Yeah, there's a whole long thing from Pink, and she's upset, all of this sort of stuff. So in any case, it has culminated in Macklemore being kicked off of the tour. And now, for Macklemore himself, we are getting some of the backstory. Let's put D3 up on the screen. This is a lengthy Instagram post. I'm not going to read all of it. The TLDR here is that Robert Kraft... who is the owner of the Patriots and also controls that stadium, went to Ed Sheeran and said, nice tour you got there. Shame something happens to it. He organized behind the scenes with other stadium owners to say, we're not going to host your little tour if you keep Macklemore on stage. If you keep him on the tour, you are not going to be able to perform.
And Ed Sheeran came to the pressure and said, OK, then I'll kick him off.
