Talk:Macklemore

Ties to Hamas

During a 2024Sept22 show, macklemore said "fuck america" to a crowd of Hamas supporters https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/macklemore-hinds-hall-2-f-america-chant-seattle-show-1235781597/ https://nypost.com/2024/09/22/entertainment/macklemore-chants-f-k-america-to-cheers-at-concert-benefiting-hamas-connected-un-agency/

The concert was to fund hamas-affiliated group UNRWA. https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-gaza-unrwa-4132812d15758c3b53b4059cbd2066d6 https://www.timesofisrael.com/un-agency-no-longer-employing-gaza-staffer-accused-of-hamas-ties/

This must be added to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.57.55.50 (talk) 16:34, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

The incident has been added. Your biased framing of a UN agency as "Hamas-affiliated" has not. Note: as per WP:NYPOST, the New York Post is generally unreliable for factual reporting.

Also note that UNRWA promptly fired all twelve of the individuals named in the report by Israel. Zorblin (talk) 07:39, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Source of Commissions

This band adheres to a last name. That is all this article keeps referring to (Mclemore). It is a last name to an actual family and I repeat, this is just a band called Macklemore, actually the spelling is Macklamore (band!)

Uhh this is ridiculous

How come “Thrift Shop”, his by far most famous song and is the reason why he is known, not mentioned at all in the “career 2009-2017” section?? 199.36.244.24 (talk) 02:53, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

I also found it super bizarre not to see anything about it. Very strange ommission. Still nothing a year later. Maybe next year. 2A01:112F:4204:7900:E044:CEA2:EE21:11EE (talk) 18:17, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Claims of Antisemitism

I think that the claims that Macklemore is antisemitic (e.g. Hind’s Hall and Macklemore dressing up as a Jew) whether or not he actually is, should be included. Can someone please add it?

Here is a news article from CNN referencing the controversies: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/05/08/us/macklemore-hinds-hall-song-palestinian-protests-cec 71.179.129.209 (talk) 01:47, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 14 May 2024

Macklemore is accused of being an anti-semite. He has performed in stereotypical Jewish clothes with exaggerated features. https://stopantisemitism.org/as-week/macklemore/ Gcappello124 (talk) 17:16, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. M.Bitton (talk) 17:27, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Controversies

Following recent controversies, which negatively add up on last decade’s [redacted] behavior, I suggest these to be included. 87.120.102.87 (talk) 23:13, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Please provide links to the reliable sources that have covered the events in question. Without solid sources, we really can't even mention specifics on the talk page, per WP:BLP. —C.Fred (talk) 23:29, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Should we add something about his ties with Stockton Rush?

I recently learned that Macklemore was involved with Stockton Rush (& OceanGate?) in or around 2014. I was surprised to see nothing about this on either of their wikipedia pages. Seems like an intriguing lead—what do you guys think? Madaman333 (talk) 00:10, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
