    Macklemore said on Instagram that several U.S. venues told the promoter they would prohibit him from performing as Sheeran’s opening act for the Loop tour

    What did Sheeran have to do with it?

      It’s sheeran’s tour that is continuing with neither pause nor Macklemore, his friend. I blame Kraft 90% and Sheeran 10%.

        50/50 imho. No shit he was going to get pushback in this toxic political climate. But instead of standing up for his friend and what’s right, dude just capitulated while using their own propagandized language against Macklemore.

          It’s at least partly misplaced aggression to attach so much to him. Attack the source of compulsion and reprimand capitulants and accessories, imo. Then promote those with real loyalty. Genghis khan built an empire on it, so there has to be something behind it.
