Macklemore says he'll donate $1 million from Ed Sheeran tour to Palestinians: "I invite Robert Kraft to match"
- On Wednesday, rapper Macklemore announced he is donating $1 million of his net earnings from Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour to six organizations supporting Palestinian relief efforts.
- Macklemore was dropped from the tour earlier this month after performing 'Hind's Hall' and calling for 'Free Palestine' at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
- Kraft Group CEO Robert Kraft confirmed he blocked the rapper from performing at Gillette Stadium, citing 'recent actions' and 'a broader history of rhetoric and imagery' offensive to the Jewish community.
- Within 48 hours, supporting acts Finneas, Lukas Graham, and Beoga withdrew from the tour in solidarity, while Sheeran clarified the promoter Messina Touring Group made the removal decision.
- Inviting Kraft to match his donation, Macklemore stressed that his focus remains on the Palestinian people and their fight for freedom.
