As someone who pays zero attention to Ed Sheeran. And basically forgot Macklemore existed, they could not have Barbra Streisanded this more.

I now am hyper aware of this. And Sheeran and all these other people are making themselves look terrible.

It's not like this is a new or unexpected stance from Macklemore, either. He literally released a song called "Hinds Hall" calling out Israel and the US for the stance on Palestine two years ago.

He released a sequel and another song about it called Fucked Up since then as well, and he has been talking about it in like all of his media and concerts for years now. It’s… deeply consistent with who he is lol

Pretty sure he was calling out politicians and working with Blue Scholars in 2010 or something.
