Pink appears to be weighing in on the controversy surrounding Macklemore’s appearance at Ed Sheeran’s New Jersey concerts after sharing a post criticizing the rapper’s pro-Palestinian performance.
The singer reposted an Instagram Story from StopAntisemitism over the weekend. The organization criticized Macklemore’s performance and described the situation as “awful” in its caption.
Pink did not add any commentary of her own to the repost.
However, by sharing the criticism with her followers, Pink amplified the ongoing calls for Macklemore to be removed from the remaining dates of Sheeran’s U.S. tour.
Macklemore has faced backlash since performing at Sheeran’s MetLife Stadium shows on September 4 and 5.
During his set, the rapper voiced support for Palestinians, criticized Israel and performed his protest song “Hind’s Hall,” while images related to Gaza appeared on the stadium screens.
The performance quickly became a source of controversy, with StopAntisemitism criticizing the appearance and calling for concertgoers to receive refunds and apologies.
An Israeli-American group has also launched a petition urging Sheeran and tour organizers to remove Macklemore from the remaining U.S. shows.
The controversy comes as Macklemore continues to publicly address the Israel-Palestine conflict through his music and performances.
He released “Hind’s Hall” in 2024, making the song part of his broader public advocacy on the issue.
Sheeran has not publicly responded to the controversy or the petition, according to the supplied report.
Pink’s repost, meanwhile, leaves some room for interpretation. She did not explain why she shared the StopAntisemitism message or add a personal statement alongside it.
For now, her decision to amplify the criticism has added another high-profile voice to the growing conversation around Macklemore’s performance and his place on Sheeran’s tour.
