Macklemore Donates $1M in Ed Sheeran Tour Earnings to Palestinian Aid, Calls on Robert Kraft to Match It

"Writing a check is one of the least costly forms of solidarity available to me," the rapper said.

Macklemore is challenging Robert Kraft to put his money where his mouth is amid the controversy surrounding Ed Sheeran‘s Loop Tour and the “Free Palestine” debate.

The rapper spoke out once again Wednesday (Sept. 16) after a two-day frenzy that saw every single one of Sheeran’s tour openers pulling out of Loop in solidarity with Palestinians and with Macklemore, who was dropped from the trek over his onstage protests earlier in the month against the violence in Gaza. “With everything that has happened over the last 48 hours, I want to bring the conversation back to where it belongs,” he wrote.
