“But he said the Macklemore/Sheeran debacle has only made him feel “way more emboldened to say it now, because it’s not in any way a strange, uncomfortable, or controversial thing to say, it’s a deeply human thing to say.”
“At the first two shows of the tour at MetLife Stadium outside New York City, Macklemore called for a “Free Palestine,” expressed solidarity with people in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, showed images of the devastation from Israel’s war in Gaza, and performed his protest song, “Hind’s Hall.” After being dropped, Macklemore released a statement saying Robert Kraft — the billionaire owner of the New England Patriots — had barred him from playing Gillette Stadium.”
