Macklemore removal called 'censorship by billionaire Epstein club'

Rapper Macklemore was removed from Ed Sheeran’s US tour for his pro-Palestine stance,  a decision that has divided people in the US. 

Commenting on the issue, journalist Tucker Carlson said the US rapper was cancelled by Jewish billionaire Robert Kraft.

Carlson said a media outlet tried to make it look like the decision was taken by the public but it was not.

“This is censorship by the Billionaire Epstein club. And by the way, yes, he is mentioned in the Epstein files. Look it up,” said Tucker Carlson.

Ed Sheeran's opening acts and his own band have also quit his US tour in solidarity with rapper Macklemore, who was cut from the musical lineup over his "free Palestine" remarks on stage criticizing Israeli government actions in Gaza and the West Bank.

The backlash from Sheeran's touring companions came after the English-born singer-songwriter, one of the world's top-selling ‌recording artists, distanced himself from Macklemore's ouster, saying on Tuesday the decision to dump the rap star came from tour organizers, not him.
