Macklemore broke his silence on Monday after it was announced that he was removed from the remaining American dates of Ed Sheeran's tour following pro-Palestinian comments made during an opening performance in New Jersey.
The rapper claimed New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft gave Sheeran an ultimatum to drop him from the lineup or risk venue access for the entire tour. Macklemore continued: “Ed also told me that Kraft had rallied some of the other stadium owners and collectively they gave him an ultimatum: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you will not be allowed to play in our venues.”
