Pink says Macklemore's onstage remarks, not 'Free Palestine,' prompted her post

Pop star Pink broke her silence Friday over the backlash she received for amplifying calls for Macklemore to be dropped from Ed Sheeran's tour, saying in a lengthy social media statement that she was reacting to the rapper's onstage remarks to Jewish concertgoers rather than his pro-Palestinian message itself. "Of course I don't speak for Israel, or for any government. I never have. What I said in October 2023 is still exactly what I believe: Hamas is a terrorist organization," she wrote.
