Macklemore has been dropped from Ed Sheeran's tour.

I know we’ve had at least three posts on this topic so far. I can see from the comments that a lot of people were not or are not aware of this relationship.

I think this is important because it points to something that runs contrary to Ed Sheeran’s public statement, where he excused his dismissal of a musician speaking up for Palestine.

    Let’s not forget who he is sucking up to:

    In 2019, Kraft was among 25 people facing first-degree misdemeanor charges for soliciting prostitution at a day spa.[143] His attorney electronically entered a not-guilty plea, and later submitted a court filing where Kraft waived arraignment, pled not guilty to all charges and requested a jury trial.[149] A memo filed by Kraft’s attorneys revealed that hidden cameras had been installed when investigators entered the facility under the guise of suspected human trafficking.[154] A Palm Beach County judge ruled that prosecutors could not use the videos in their case, citing privacy concerns.[155] A Florida appeals court also ruled that Kraft’s constitutional rights were violated, and all the charges were dropped.[160] U.S. District Judge Rodolfo Ruiz ordered the videos to be destroyed.[161]

    In 2026, it was revealed that Kraft had kept a relationship with child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and that Epstein had recommended Kraft use his lawyer to defeat the charges.[162]

    In early 2022, Kraft’s engagement to New York City-based ophthalmologist Dana Blumberg (who is 33 years Kraft’s junior[163]) was announced by Tommy Hilfiger at the inaugural amfAR Gala Palm Beach event.[164] Kraft and Blumberg reportedly had begun dating in 2017.[111] They married in New York City in October 2022.[163] Ed Sheeran performed at the wedding.[165]
