Pink vows to keep speaking out after Macklemore Palestine row

Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleUS pop star Pink has vowed to continue speaking out despite experiencing significant backlash for reposting criticism of rapper Macklemore, who called to free Palestine during a concert at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Following Macklemore's address while opening for Ed Sheeran, a petition was launched demanding his removal from remaining tour dates, prompting Pink to share a post criticising his remarks on her Instagram account. In a subsequent lengthy statement, Pink explained that her reaction stemmed from safety concerns as a Jewish mother regarding Macklemore's stage visuals and rhetoric, rather than opposing the slogan or wishing to silence fellow artists. Pink reaffirmed her belief that Palestinians deserve a future that honours their humanity, while urging people to consider the fear experienced by Jewish families attending concerts without accusing them of supporting political agendas or genocide. Macklemore responded to the controversy by sharing concert footage online alongside a caption asserting that advocating for equal treatment should not be controversial, while Ed Sheeran has remained silent on the calls to drop his opening act.
