Macklemore calls for artists to stand up for Palestine in his ‘Free Palestine’ tour announcement:
“It's 2026. Being apolitical during a genocide doesn't work anymore. People are asking artists to show up, educate themselves and be in community. To use the stage for more than entertainment. To push back when the call for a Free Palestine is met with attempts to silence it.
What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention.”
He seems so genuine as he looks down and reads the script on the teleprompter that went through a PR team, promoter, Robert Kraft, legal team, shareholders, etc.
- reads from teleprompter
- immediately starts with October 7th
- still won’t call it a genocide
- says he doesn’t know enough about what’s happening
- makes no apology to Macklemore or addresses dropping him from the tour
- doesn’t mention where his donation will be going to
- doesn’t encourage anyone to donate
- won’t say Israel is the reason Gaza is suffering
- won’t say free Palestine
- only cries when he sees people showed up to the concert because that’s what he cares more about.
Fuck him.
TMZ has reported that Lady Gaga & Michael Polansky used a surrogate.
Lady Gaga has struggled with fibromyalgia for years, dealing with chronic pain and exhaustion that has had a serious impact on her life. With everything she’s gone through physically, it makes sense that she would use a surrogate.
People were way too quick to judge her for using a surrogate, as if they knew what she was going through behind closed doors. No one owes the public an explanation for how they choose to start or grow their family, especially when there are personal and medical circumstances involved. It’s honestly sad how comfortable people are judging someone for a decision they know nothing about especially when it’s her own fans.
i’m going to leave this video here because it honestly shouldn’t have to be explained.
New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft responds to Macklemore by pledging $2 million to “aid in the region to fight this humanitarian crisis.”
The businessman revealed that the donation was Ed Sheeran’s idea, adding that the singer is reaching out to other venue owners to encourage them to do the same.
