Ed Sheeran has seen his Instagram following fall by nearly 100,000 amid the ongoing controversy surrounding Macklemore’s removal from his U.S. tour. Data from HypeAuditor shows the drop came as Sheeran faced criticism online, with some users leaving comments calling for him to speak out on the Israel-Gaza conflict. Sheeran has said Macklemore’s removal was 'the promoter’s decision' and not his, while all of the remaining support acts have now announced they are leaving the tour. Macklemore was removed from the remaining dates after making pro-Palestinian comments during performances in New Jersey. #macklemore #edsheeran #controversy #music #news
