Rapper Macklemore has been dropped from the remaining dates of singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran’s “Loop” tour following an alleged venue boycott organized by Gillette Stadium owner Robert Kraft over Macklemore's pro-Palestinian remarks made onstage earlier this month. Now, Ed Sheeran is speaking out. In a social media post on Tuesday, the singer said dropping Macklemore from his tour was the promoter's decision, not his, and explained that he personally chooses not to use his platform to discuss politics.
