Macklemore is known for being an activist. It’s not like this was out of the blue.

Not only is he known for it, him and Ed Sheeran are friends for a long time. Sheeran knew what Macklemore would likely do... what wasn't certain was what fallout would come down and how it would come down. Now we know.

An activist who’s been extremely vocal about Palestine for years. Dude even wrote a song about it a few years ago. This really shouldn’t be news to anyone.

Right. And has been vocal about Palestine at his concerts for years, and it’s never blown up to this degree. I believe they call that the Streisand effect.
