Macklemore says Robert Kraft had him dropped from Ed Sheeran's tour after his comments about the Palestinian territories
Macklemore said he's off Ed Sheeran's tour after pressure from billionaire Robert Kraft over comments the rapper made onstage.
Macklemore announced he will no longer be part of Ed Sheeran's tour following his "Free Palestine" remarks. Macklemore claimed that Robert Kraft, the owner of the New England Patriots, contacted Sheeran to inform him that the singer would not be welcomed at his stadium if Macklemore remained on the tour. Kraft subsequently sent a statement to local outlet WHDH, asserting that Gillette Stadium, where Sheeran was scheduled to perform, does not support "hate speech" and that Macklemore's actions violated this policy.
