Ed Sheeran allegedly reached out to Patriots owner Robert Kraft, asking him to donate $2 million for humanitarian aid — and reportedly plans to target other venue owners too — all before Macklemore even publicly called for donations. The controversy erupted after Macklemore was dropped from Sheeran’s tour for pro-Palestinian remarks at MetLife Stadium, with Macklemore claiming Kraft blocked his performance at Gillette Stadium and pressured other venues to follow suit. Macklemore emphasized that advocating for Palestine isn’t antisemitic, and he’s not alone — supporting acts Finneas, Aaron Rowe, Beoga, and Lukas Graham also pulled out, standing in solidarity against artists being silenced for speaking out on injustice. With the North American leg of Sheeran’s massive Loop Tour set to end November 7, tensions are high as millions of dollars and global attention swirl around this cultural and political collision.
