American rapper Macklemore said major concert venues including Madison Square Garden in New York refused to book his Free Palestine tour, according to Al-Monitor. The musician, an outspoken critic of Israel's war in Gaza, made the statement on Friday as the tour faced venue cancellations across the country.
Macklemore has been vocal in opposing the military campaign in Gaza and has used his platform to advocate for Palestinian causes. The rejections mark an escalation in pressure facing artists who speak out on the conflict.
