Rapper Macklemore said nine major US arenas turned down his Free Palestine fundraising tour, The Guardian reported. He accused venues of "intimidation and suppression," alleging they refused to host him after he was dropped from Ed Sheeran's tour schedule.
Macklemore did not identify the specific arenas or provide details about their stated reasons for declining. His comments mark an escalation in a dispute that began when organizers of Sheeran's North American tour removed him from the bill.
