Recording artist Macklemore declared 'Free Palestine' while performing at a concert. A petition later urged Ed Sheeran to cut him from their ongoing tour. It drew heavy attention across digital platforms over the weekend.
Actor Michael Rapaport branded Macklemore a 'clown' in an online post. Brief and blunt. As of Sunday, 6 September 2026, neither Macklemore's team nor Ed Sheeran's camp had put out any statement.
