Rapper Macklemore is a vocal supporter of Palestine and Gaza residents. During a recent concert at MetLife Stadium, he yelled "Free Palestine!" onstage, projected images of devastation in the area, and performed protest song "Hind's Hall."

Now, it seems that American venues are not willing to play ball with the Seattle artist, and he has been dropped from Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour.

"After discussions with stakeholders, Macklemore will not be performing on the remaining support dates," according to Messina Touring Group, the promoter of Loop Tour. This news follows backlash from organizations like StopAntisemitism and others, such as pop star Pink.

fuck Ed Sheeran for this, the moral stance is to refuse to continue the tour without Macklemore

I am still so fucking pissed at her, I spent my entire childhood listening to her music and only learned so late what an asshole she actually is. Still feels terrible to know how much her songs helped me during depressive episodes. Fuck her.
