Macklemore says he has been dropped from Ed Sheeran’s Loop tour following pro-Palestinian comments he made onstage earlier this month at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium. The Grammy winner said on Instagram Monday that several U.S. venues told the promoter that they would prohibit the “Thrift Store” rapper from performing as Sheeran’s opening act. As a result, he wrote, Sheeran’s team decided to remove him from the stadium tour, despite the fact that Macklemore has been making similar comments about the plight of Palestinians for years. Sheeran hasn't commented.
