Ed Sheeran's US tour faces disruption after his touring band and support acts resigned in solidarity with rapper Macklemore, who was dropped from the tour for his pro-Palestinian stance. The controversy involves NFL team owner Robert Kraft, who allegedly coordinated with other stadium owners to issue an ultimatum barring Macklemore from performing at their venues. Macklemore claims Kraft accused him of antisemitic rhetoric, while the rapper's supporters, including the departing band members, view the decision as censorship of free speech.
