Pink Reposts Criticism of Macklemore's Pro-Palestinian Concert Remarks

tmz.com — September 7, 2026 at 07:01 PM UTC

Pink amplified criticism of Macklemore by reposting a StopAntisemitism Instagram Story that condemned his pro-Palestinian performance at Ed Sheeran's New Jersey concert, intensifying calls for his removal from the tour. The controversy stems from Macklemore's Sept. 4-5 MetLife Stadium shows, where he voiced support for Palestinians, criticized Israel, and performed "Hind's Hall" with Gaza imagery on screens. StopAntisemitism demanded refunds and apologies for concertgoers. An Israeli-American group has launched a petition urging Sheeran to drop Macklemore from remaining U.S. dates. Sheeran hasn't publicly responded, and Pink hasn't explained her repost, though Macklemore has long been outspoken on the conflict.
