17 Sep
Summary
- Ms. Rachel pledged to match Macklemore's $1 million donation.
- Her donation supports organizations aiding Palestinians.
- She urged other wealthy celebrities to speak out and donate.
Children's educator and YouTube star Ms. Rachel has committed to matching Macklemore's substantial donation of $1 million to organizations aiding Palestinians. She revealed this commitment on Instagram, urging other affluent celebrities to also contribute and voice their concerns. Ms. Rachel specifically called for action against the "genocide in Gaza," noting the tragic number of Palestinian children killed daily.
Her pledge follows controversy surrounding Macklemore's removal from Ed Sheeran's tour after he publicly supported Palestinians. Macklemore had announced his intention to donate his $1 million tour earnings to Palestinian aid and challenged Robert Kraft to match it. Kraft later confirmed he would provide $2 million for humanitarian aid, prompted by Sheeran.
The situation escalated as other artists withdrew from Sheeran's tour after Macklemore's removal. Ms. Rachel had previously voiced support for Macklemore, criticizing Sheeran's decision. Her latest action represents a significant personal financial commitment and a public call for broader celebrity engagement on human rights issues.
