Macklemore addresses sold-out crowd at Free Palestine show in London

Rapper Macklemore claimed that nine major American arenas have refused to host his Free Palestine benefit tour.

The rejected venues include prominent arenas such as Madison Square Garden, Barclays Center, Crypto.com Arena, and Climate Pledge Arena.

According to Macklemore, initial available dates were withdrawn once venue managers learned the shows were benefit concerts for Palestine.

The rapper launched the benefit tour following his removal from Ed Sheeran's tour, performing sold-out concerts in London, Paris, and Dublin.

All proceeds from the shows are donated to organizations offering humanitarian relief, medical aid, and advocacy for Palestinians.
