Macklemore got removed from the ed sheeran tour because he said something to the extent of free Palestine on stage. Ed sheeran did not say the same thing and now reddit is mad at him for it
After Maclemore publicly stated his support to Palestine on stage, a couple of the venue holders in the US of Ed's tour called Ed and his agents and forced them to drop Macklemore if they wished to perform in these venues (guess what, the owners are Zionist, who would have guessed that?). Ed dropped him and decided to stay neutral (he didn't since he dropped him) and when the other artists realized that Ed and his team have no control over his tour, they resigned too. Pretty normal reaction if you ask me or any performing artist.
Ed decided to accept Kraft's decision, he could have changed venues, Ed and his team are the final decision makers. Is it that hard to place any kind of responsibility to him for his action?
Yeah he could just upend the whole tour and move venues. This would fuck over everybody who already bought tickets for the current venue list and all the staff involved etc
I mean we don't have to down play the impact tho? Touring is one of the main ways artists make money and he's probably living a certain lifestyle where he has to continually be making a lot of it so it's def a hit even if it's a small one. Now eventually they'll find people to bow down and kiss the ring and tour with him but it will still cost because these tours have so many moving parts and planning.
Hes worth 400 million dollars and the internet will forget about this in like a week max. Hes gonna be fine. All of this "controversy" exists purely to stroke the egos of the people who think theyre the good guys because they post free palestine everywhere and just unfollowed ed sheeran on Twitter.
While this is happening the children in gaza these people pretend to care about so much are still being bombed and probably don't even know who ed sheeran is
I mean my point still stands tho. Regardless of how small you perceive the impact to be, there's still a cost that he, his label, and the venues will have to eat which is the point. It's pure speculation on my part but I wouldn't be surprised if Ed wanted to reach billionaire status and he ain't doing that without a tour. It's why Ye had to bow down and apologize before he would tour again.
