Ed Sheeran backlash: Billionaire says musician asked him to donate $2M
The request came after Macklemore said he would donate $1m (Ksh. 129.5m) to Palestinian organisations, challenging Kraft to match the sum. The post Ed Sheeran backlash: Billionaire says musician asked him to donate $2M appeared first on KBC Digital .
US stadium owner Robert Kraft revealed that Ed Sheeran has requested a $2 million donation to support the Palestinian region following Macklemore's $1 million pledge. Kraft, who previously removed Macklemore as the opening act for Sheeran's performance at Gillette Stadium, announced the request in a statement. Sheeran has now indicated that the decision to drop Macklemore was made by promoters and that he will not engage in a public debate over the situation.
Kraft, a philanthropist, reiterated his long-standing support for Palestinian efforts and his commitment to bridging divides between people. He did not disclose if he had rallied other stadium owners to ban Macklemore from their venues.
