Jack Antonoff Slams Ed Sheeran’s Response to Macklemore ‘Free Palestine’ Fallout: ‘Stand the F–k Up’

Jack Antonoff has criticized Ed Sheeran following the removal of Macklemore from a tour due to pro-Palestinian comments. Antonoff urged Sheeran to stand up against the influence of billionaire promoters, suggesting that the entire tour be canceled instead. He proposed playing for free outside venues to raise money rather than complying with promoter restrictions on speech. Antonoff, who has made his own pro-Palestinian statements, expressed strong disapproval of allowing promoters to dictate what artists can say.
