Rapper Macklemore has committed to donating the $1 million he earned as an opening act for Ed Sheeran’s Loop tour to organizations providing aid to Palestinians and relief efforts in Gaza. The decision follows his removal from the tour lineup after he faced significant backlash for making onstage remarks in support of Palestine.
In addition to the donation, the artist issued a direct challenge to Robert Kraft, the billionaire owner of the New England Patriots and a major donor to Israel, who had previously barred Macklemore from performing at Gillette Stadium outside Boston. Macklemore is urging Kraft to match his charitable contribution.
