@cbsnews: Ed Sheeran is responding after Macklemore says he was removed from his U.S. Loop tour, following performances at MetLife Stadium where the rapper expressed pro-Palestine sentiment. In a statement Tuesday, Sheeran said dropping Macklemore from his tour "was the promoter's decision," not his, and while he respects “Macklemore’s strength of purpose to stand up and shout for what he believes,” he chooses not to use his platform to discuss politics.

Ed had no problem simping for Ukraine. Why the pivot now? We all know why. There is a certain country you’re not allowed to criticize ever. Our colonial power, Israel. We’re not a sovereign nation.

He makes such a good point though about how there are workers at those stadiums who would lose out on vital wages if his shows got cancelled, and fans who would lose out on their experience and may not even be reimbursed. people would have been pissed at him no matter what he did

Mind you, he could back out from the promoter. But that would require him to pay back his advance.
