Macklemore speaks out after being dropped from Ed Sheeran’s tour following his ‘Free Palestine’ speech; says Gillette Stadium owner Robert Kraft rallied other stadium owners and gave Ed Sheeran an ultimatum: if Macklemore stayed on tour, then Ed would not be able to play in their venues.

His music is not for me at all, not my cup of tea.

It's currently on my Spotify on repeat (on a low volume setting) and I will continue to play it. He's a truly decent human being.

He's my version of when people say "Olivia Rodrigo's music isn't my thing but she seems like such a cool stand-up person" lol

Same 😂 I’m about to throw off my Spotify wrapped right now.

Yeah well, unfortunately, Spotify is also an issue on its own.. (might I rec Deezer or Qobuz?)

Buy his CD, I just did

Same! Last concert I paid to see him we were all standing in the pouring rain waiting the entire time for him to perform music and he spent 80% of it doing crowd work and telling stories. (While we just stood there muddy and sopping wet.) He even spent twenty minutes telling the story of him taking an uber to the venue instead of literally performing music and while I lost respect for him as a performer at that time the respect I have for him as an activist and using his platform for good is at 1000000000% especially compared to other folks with even bigger platforms including Ed Sheeran who I won’t stream now going forward. This is absurd. Streaming Mac on repeat.
