Watch the clip… Macklemore walks across the stage and tells people to say the phrase “bluntly” because he won’t stop them.
Then he says, “Fuck America” – and his audience breaks into wild cheers before the clip ends.
Macklemore’s criticism of the United States has become quite widespread in recent months. the war between Israel and Hamas has further escalated.
In the spring, Macklemore released his song “Hind’s Hall” – named after the building of Columbia University taken over by pro-Palestinian students – the Joe Biden and other politicians for their support of Israel in the conflict.

Some Israel supporters – like the singer Matisyahu — have sharply criticized Macklemore for his song and his views … and the track simply anti-Semitic.

Macklemore, however, stands by Palestine … and seems to enjoy criticizing his own country.
We’ve contacted Macklemore’s rep… no response yet.
