Macklemore Political Advocacy Controversy

Robert Kraft ties to Epstein Robert Kraft in 2019 “facing two misdemeanor counts of soliciting prostitution for allegedly visiting the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter, Florida on two occasions in January and paying for sexual favors from the massage parlor's staff.” Epstein 2019 then urges him to use his lawyer, Jackgoldberger, who he accepts as his counsel the next day. I stand with Macklemore. But never forget the files. edit: more emails + receipts in comments

Sheeran made a post both sides-ing, shifting blame, declaring “I am not complicit” & falsely claiming not to use his platform for politics. No indications of canceling the tour. Ticketmaster is reportedly not issuing refunds (except to Zionists who complained that Macklemore’s speech was violence).

FWIW, here’s my take—as someone who loves music & is a Jew Excellent: Macklemore loudly & publiclycalling for Palestinian rights Excellent: Musicians rallying behind his call & dropping out of the tour in solidarity Bad: Sheeran’s promoter dropping Macklemore Bad: Macklemore’s Jewface

Macklemore gained over a million Instagram followers following his statement at MetLife, while Ed Sheeran and P!nk lost followers I made a chart tracking the artists’ Instagram follower counts around the MetLife controversy. The data comes from Likeometer, DolphinRadar, Instastatistics and Social Blade. Some dates are cross-source snapshots rather than daily observations, so the chart shows timing and correlation, not proof of causation.

Why do seemingly good people have to come out as transphobic? I’ve loved the music of The Proclaimers for years now! Hell, their albums were and are some inspirations for stories I’ve written since high school! Now they come out w/ a new album AND the tired trans woman stereotype of “man in a dress”

He wrote, played, and sold songs that people listened to and liked. I am not a fan of his music; it's simple and safe, but it sells. Nobody bought Frank Sinatra Jr's records, Dhani Harrison isn't a platinum selling artist. Shitty Macklemore just made a personal PR event&caused more heat than light
