New details have emerged about the 40-minute phone call in which New Englands Patriots owner Robert Kraft told Ed Sheeran that he would not host Macklemore at his stadium following his onstage show of support for Palestinian people.
Last week, Kraft was spurred into action after he learned that Macklemore — the rapper best known for his hits “Thrift Shop” and “Same Love” — had given a political speech about Israel’s genocide in Gaza and led the crowd at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey in a “free Palestine” chant while opening at Sheeran’s U.S. Loop tour the previous weekend.
