The hits keep coming Macklemore …he’s just been cut as the headliner for the Neon City Festival, hot on the heels of his “F*** America” drama.

Whatever the reason, it must have hurt Macklemore, especially since he was announced as the headliner… days before it caused outrage. singing their anti-America stance during a pro-Palestine concert.

In response, Macklemore released a statement on IG clarifying that he did not intend for the comment to overshadow his strong support for Palestine, even if it cost him endorsements and business ties.
