As Ed Sheeran continues his Loop tour, read on to learn about what led to the controversy surrounding it and the ensuing fallout.

Rizzle Kicks' Jordan Stephens, a longtime friend of Ed Sheeran, criticized the Photograph singer for how he handled the Macklemore controversy. According to the BBC, Macklemore was removed from Ed's Loop Tour after delivering a speech supporting Palestine during two shows earlier this month.

Fresh off his firing from Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour, Macklemore revealed his plans to headline a Free Palestine Tour, set to kickoff in Europe next month.

After being dropped as the opening act on Ed Sheeran's "The Loop Tour," rapper Macklemore has announced a new "tour," with all proceeds benefiting organizations supporting Palestine and the pro-Palestinian movement.
