Vulture • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Ms. Rachel and her husband Aron Accurso pledged to match Macklemore’s $1 million donation toward Palestinian relief, urging other wealthy white celebrities to do the same and speak out against the Gaza conflict.
- The donation will go to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, a nonprofit organization providing medical aid to Palestinian children affected by the war.
- Macklemore announced he would donate his $1 million pay from Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour to six organizations supporting Palestinians, but was subsequently fired from the tour for his pro-Palestine stance.
- Macklemore called on Robert Kraft, owner of Gillette Stadium and the New England Patriots, to match his donation after Kraft pressured the tour group to fire him; Kraft later mentioned a $2 million donation match requested by Sheeran, though details remain unclear.
- Following Macklemore’s firing, all of Ed Sheeran’s opening acts have quit the tour in solidarity.
