American rapper Macklemore announced on Monday that he had been dropped from British singer Ed Sheeran's US stadium tour after saying "Free Palestine" during a concert in New Jersey on September 4.

According to Macklemore, his removal from the tour followed pressure from venue owners, including New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, over his criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza.

The Grammy winner had been slated to appear alongside Sheeran on the US leg of the British singer's stadium tour before the decision to remove him was made, according to Macklemore's account.

Further details on the circumstances of the decision, including responses from Sheeran's team, tour organizers or Kraft, were not immediately available.
