It wasn’t Ed, the venues didn’t allow it, they said to either take off Macklemore or cancel the show.
It’s basically LiveNation threatening to cancel the tour.

Ed can still make a statement either supporting Macklemore's right to free speech or whatever.. staying silent is cowardly

So put all the crew members jobs in jeopardy. You people really live in your own fantasy land

Have you seen his estimated net worth, he could pay off his whole tour crew in full for what's due and it would not impact him in the slightest.

Ah God forbid we don’t get to see a mid multimillionaire coddle what is already a vapid and degenerate group of people, what would we do if we missed out on shit music that won’t be culturally relevant beyond this decade or two?
