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.

All they are doing is making him more popular while showing the world they are racist genociders. Pink was a huge letdown in this too.

If the agencies are forcing them to do this then the agencies need to be called out, the people will support them.

Yeah, Pink was weird, cause like you've had 3 years to see whats going on, see how appalled people are and then side with the genociders.
