Macklemore dropped from Las Vegas Festival lineup after anti-America rant

Macklemore has been a supporter of Palestinian rights and has expressed his opposition to U.S. policies in the region.

Macklemore, the Grammy-winning rapper known for his socially conscious lyrics, has been dropped from the lineup of the Neon City Festival in Las Vegas. The decision comes after a viral video surfaced of him shouting "f*** America" during a recent performance at the Palestine Will Love Forever Festival in Seattle.

The video quickly gained traction on social media, sparking outrage and criticism from many viewers. In response, the organizers of the Neon City Festival released a statement announcing Macklemore's removal from the lineup due to "unforeseen circumstances."

Macklemore has been a vocal supporter of Palestinian rights and has previously expressed his opposition to U.S. policies in the region. His performance at the Palestine Will Love Forever Festival was a clear demonstration of his political views.

The removal of Macklemore from the Neon City Festival lineup has sparked a debate about the role of artists in expressing their political opinions and the potential consequences of doing so. Some argue that artists should be free to express their beliefs without fear of repercussions, while others believe that public figures should be held accountable for their words.

The Neon City Festival is scheduled to take place in downtown Las Vegas in conjunction with the 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix. Organizers have stated that they will be announcing replacement acts for the festival soon.
