@independent: Ed Sheeran has found himself in the most damaging moment of his career. But for the safest man in music, a controversy like this was possibly always waiting to happen. If your stock in trade is pleasant balladry, and you’re reluctant to give much of yourself away both personally and politically, the arrival of a controversy is far more dangerous than it otherwise would be. You can’t really quell your critics with a shiny distraction when your wares are designed to be as unassuming as possible. Sheeran’s insistent apoliticism hit a wall this week, after the rapper Macklemore was dumped as an opening act for his US tour after voicing pro-Palestinian, anti-Israeli government sentiment on his stage. #edsheeran #macklemore #palestine #worldnews

I think it’s quite a good thing that, when megastars allow billionaires to control the conversation, they are reminded of who holds power…. Also an important reminder for us

Mecklemore hingegen war aufrichtig und mutig. Er tat, was Musik tun soll.

We the people have power in our vote and our dollar. People are tired of those who have power, reach, influence, fame, wealth and platforms not speaking out or standing up for humanity. We're in a spiritual and class warfare. Our rights and freedom are slowly being chipped away and history will remember the one's who stood idly by.

Great Bastion :

he has hundreds of millions of dollars. he'll be fine.

underrated.flower :

In a world of Ed’s be a Macklemore .

Gus :

If you try and sit on a fence for too long you’re gonna get splinters.

Harriet Ishbel :

I liked him when his first ever EP came out. He quickly became so mainstream. Something about him started to feel off so I always felt something like this would happen. Sold his soul for money.

Jon :

For this next show, bro will definitely crash out on stage

His excuse about not commenting politically at his concerts because of the number of children in his audience was very strange. Firstly Genocide is mass murder of a population, mostly women and children. Estimates are over 25,000 children murdered in Gaza. To reference children as his reason for not standing up against the mass murder of children in this Genocide or "conflict" (only one army though Ed) was particularly unedifying. Ed Sheeran is not a good human for bowing the knee to Zionist Robert Kraft and using children in this way

Angesichts von Kraft lag die wahre Macht bei den Künstlern, denn wenn sie nicht singen, verdienen sie kein Geld und die Stadien bleiben leer. Mit dieser Macht hätte er sich gegen Kraft durchsetzen müssen, doch er war ein Feigling.
