Pink and Activists Condemn Rapper Macklemore's Anti-Israel Statements at Sheeran Concert
Pop star Pink has voiced her support for the organization StopAntisemitism in condemning rapper Macklemore's actions during a recent concert in New Jersey. Macklemore, who performed as an opening act for Ed Sheeran at MetLife Stadium, reportedly used the stage for political statements that angered fans and the singer. StopAntisemitism criticized the event, stating that Macklemore wore a keffiyeh, shouted slogans, and displayed anti-Israel imagery on screens. The organization argued that Jewish fans attending a music show were instead exposed to propaganda and accusations against Israel.
Macklemore later performed his song "Hind's Hall" and delivered a speech about the situation in the region. He also indicated plans to continue opening for Ed Sheeran at other U.S. tour dates. Representatives for Ed Sheeran have not yet issued an official statement regarding the incident. Pink reposted the criticism from StopAntisemitism, aligning herself with their call for an apology and refunds for concertgoers.
