Macklemore's history of controversy from Grammy wins to Free Palestine remarks
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis performed "Same Love" at the 2014 Grammys during a mass wedding of 33 same-sex and heterosexual couples officiated by Queen Latifah.
Macklemore apologized and said his costume was not intended to reflect a caricature of a Jewish man but was a disguise.
Macklemore claimed that Sheeran told him Robert Kraft had rallied other stadium owners to oppose allowing the rapper to perform.

Kraft said the decision to ban Macklemore was not about diminishing the suffering of innocent Palestinians.
Macklemore said Sheeran told him Kraft organized a boycott among stadium owners unless Macklemore was removed from the tour.
Kraft said Macklemore was barred from Gillette Stadium due to what Kraft described as a broader history of antisemitic rhetoric and imagery.
