      Macklemore canceled his Dubai show due to concerns about the UAE’s alleged support for Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces amid the Sudan conflict. He argues that the UAE’s involvement in the crisis warrants a boycott until they stop aiding the RSF.

      You know what….I respect an artist with a backbone maybe once when i was in the third grade I thought that I was gay cuz I could draw isn’t so bad of a line after all

      Still think his stance on Gaza is bullshit but respect to him for actually extending that protest mindset to conflicts that aren’t the far left’s flavor of the month.

      So he was cool with all of the other alleged UAE roles before that?

      Good for him. I think that multi millionaire althletes that take their money are sell outs.

      What prompted him to book the show in the first place? Just letting your agent do their thing, eh…

      If this is successful, I guess it means we need to bring in Metallica to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine

      I highly encourage people to read his statement on the issue and not just throw random assumptions at the wall.

      1.) Yes, he was previously very inconsiderate to issues like these. He mentions that he cared more about money than lives for a while until his opinions changed on other issues and he realized how shitty that is.

      2.) Yes, this could be for clout. Personally, I do not think the statement “I’m not going to take blood money from this specific group” brings him more clout than it loses him.

      3.) Read the actual statement because it’s pretty straightforward and concise, while addressing concerns about whether or not this is a genuinely held opinion.

      This is pretty consistent with his recent stances.

      He’s been to China and Saudi Arabia no problem, but Sudan is too far?

      It’s time for famous people to start treating several of autocratic but wildly wealthy places the same way they treated South Africa in during the End Apartheid movement.

      Isn’t he an Lgbt+ advocate. Why even do a show in a place that kills them.

      Meanwhile I guess he’s not the LGBT ally he pretended to be a decade ago by even going to UAE at all

      Macklemore is a racist antisemite. He literally performed a show in prosthetic Jew-face.

      This is just a PR stunt + ego

      Whatever his reasons I fully support any artist staying from the UAE. Brutal authoritarians who offer a different version of freedom to tourists than they do their own people. The UAE and more broadly the scumfuck Saudis need to be abandoned by the rest of the world. I hope more people have the integrity of Macklemore.
