“Don’t go to this concert”: Candace Owens urges fans to skip Ed Sheeran’s upcoming shows following Macklemore’s removal amid ‘Free Palestine’ remarks

On September 15, Candace Owens showed support for Macklemore after his removal from Ed Sheeran’s tour in her new podcast episode. The Thrift Shop rapper was kicked out of the Loop Tour for his ‘Free Palestine’ chants on stage during his opening performances at Ed’s New Jersey shows. The rapper was removed by the promoters after they faced pressure from the stadium owners of Sheeran’s upcoming shows.

Following this, Candace Owens showed support for Macklemore and his political beliefs. In her show, she said:

“So, look, at the end of the day, I like this pressure campaign, and I believe that Ed Sheeran is like this is not a traditional role for him. Again, he's never pretended to be some sort of a superhero, but he doesn't really get to use that as an excuse anymore.”

Candace Owens went on to say that if Ed Sheeran continues with his remaining shows after Macklemore’s removal, fans should not go to his concert. She said:

“If he decides to go through with those tour stops, then I'm calling upon the people that would be attending these, uh, this concert to pull out. Literally, don't go to this concert. It's such a small act that you can do.”

The political commentator said that while she liked him as an artist, fans should go to his shows at another time, not now. Candace Owens continued:

“And it's not about Ed Sheeran. As I said, I like him as an artist. I think you should go see him on a different day. Go see him somewhere else for the rest of this tour. If you're listening to this podcast, I want to use my platform to say don't go to these last three concerts. Okay? We have to restore power to good people.”
