Summary
- Pink reposted criticism of Macklemore's performance at Ed Sheeran's concert.
- Macklemore faced backlash for supporting Palestinians and criticizing Israel.
- Calls have intensified for Macklemore's removal from the remaining tour dates.
Singer Pink recently shared criticism of Macklemore's performance at Ed Sheeran's concert, amplifying controversy. The reposted criticism came from the group StopAntisemitism, which deemed Macklemore's appearance "awful."
Macklemore performed at MetLife Stadium on September 4 and 5. During his set, he voiced support for Palestinians, criticized Israel, and performed his protest song "Hind's Hall," accompanied by images of Gaza.
The performance sparked calls for Macklemore's removal from the remainder of Ed Sheeran's U.S. tour. An Israeli-American group initiated a petition urging tour organizers to drop the rapper. Macklemore has a history of outspokenness on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Ed Sheeran has not yet publicly responded to the ongoing controversy or the petition. Pink has not offered personal commentary on her decision to share the critical post.
