Ed Sheeran has released a statement on Macklemore being removed from his tour for speaking up for Palestine: “Macklemore coming off tour was the promoter's decision, it was not mine. Macklemore's contract for the tour was with the promoter, not me. […] I am not complicit. I

Do you know what really grinds my gears? When billionaire, sex criminal, genocide-defenders tell us what voices we are and aren’t allowed to hear.

'There is a reason I do not use my professional platform for politics', claims Ed Sheeran. Ed Sheeran opposed Brexit and called for a second vote in 2016. Ed Sheeran endorsed Labour and Jeremy Corbyn in 2017. Ed Sheeran supported the Equality Act in the US in 2021. Ed Sheeran supported and played at a benefit concert for Ukraine in 2022. Ed…

Judaism and Zionism are not intrinsically linked. Zionism is a more secular ideology that formed in the late 1800s out of the Haskalah movement (the Jewish Enlightenment). The basis of it was a sense of "Thereness" that the original Zionists had: that it was impossible for Jewish people to be safe in a place that was not their own, that they…

What kind of world is this when speaking out about #genocide gets you sacked, arrested, silenced or alienated from people you thought friends. Thank you Macklemore, right side of history. Ed & Pink, 2 more to be deleted from my playlist.

Shout out tonight to Macklemore, whose character, bravery and unflinching honesty are a bright light in this time of darkness.

‘Pologies - edited. I’m not at all fine with the genocide and have personally protested it. Nations should 100% be doing more - I’m thankful Milliband is taking baby steps to get a coalition of states to stand up to Israel more, though clearly not enough is being done yet. Trump is obviously the main problem - every other US president has, to some…

It's worth reading Macklemore's full letter regarding how Robert Kraft, owner of Gillette Stadium, pressured Ed Sheeran to cancel Macklemore, and how Sheeran caved to this pressure, despite 1) his decade-long friendship with Macklemore, and 2) how Sheeran had no problem eschewing

Macklemore may not be opening for Ed Sheeran any longer, but he’s received a wave of public support after saying New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft organized a stadium boycott that forced the rapper off the tour.

Report: Pro-Israel billionaire Robert Kraft led campaign to drop US rapper Macklemore from Ed Sheeran tour Macklemore confirmed that “Ed Sheeran & his team” had dropped him from the tour after he said “Free Palestine”. Kraft had threatened to block Sheeran & his team from using his stadium, & he rallied other stadium owners across the country to…

COMPLETELY wrong. Palestine was still functionally a British colony, and Palestinians fought alongside the allies, NOT the axis. An exiled political figure does not represent the stance of the entire territory.. as that would include literally every country on earth at the time. No one brought up Jewish people, this is about a country that has a…

Macklemore himself said that he brought him in this situation because Ed has an apolitical stance. And if Macklemore knew about this - I mean Macklemore could have done his own tour where he´s free to express himself. But calling Ed an friend and then drag him into like that. Look at it. It`s/2

Ed is just a fence sitter whose inaction speaks volumes. Pink on the other hand, her comments make her out to be much worse. To me, Ed has severely disappointed me and made me question my support of him. Pink on the other hand, that goes beyond disappointment. The fact that in the year of 2026, saying things like children should not be murdered or…

Stadiums 🏟️ names are very telling who were part of the cancellation process. Bank Oil Gillette I wouldn’t spend a dime in them. All these stadiums stand over a genocide which currently shredding children, journalists and hospitals 🏥 and starves people. Gotcha 😉

Important announcement.

It is about "Free Palestine", because Palestine is experiencing a genocide, but it's not "how I feel about Palestine". Genocide is bad, no matter where it's happening. That is the part that shouldn't be controversial. That's why people are upset, because there isn't really a neutral position for innocent children and civilians being blown to bits…

I don't get why people get so fired up over celebrity music stars making a dumb move. I mean, okay, it was a stupid move to censor, but because people like their music, they prop them up like paragons of virtue. It's a waste of energy

So Robert Kraft who owned one of the stadiums they were set to play at was going to block him from playing, and he had apparently organised for several other stadium owners to potentially join him. The right move for the man with a $300+ million net worth is guarantee the staff pay checks for the tour, and then take the stadiums to court. Well…

This makes me think less of Ed Sheeran, not Macklemore. Macklemore has the right to free speech, and all humans have a right to be treated well.
