“Yeah, F— America” -an incredibly rich famous American musician…

Rapper Macklemore, 41, has been outspoken about his support for Palestine over the summer. He released the song “Hind’s Hall” in May. According to Fox News, the song’s title is “referring to the Columbia University building that students occupied and renamed in honor of a 6-year-old Palestinian girl killed in the Israel-Gaza war.” The song praises these college anti-Israel encampments and protests.

Macklemore performed a second version of the song, “Hind’s Hall 2” in Seattle over the weekend. The song called out VP Kamala Harris for not supporting the Gaza strip and the antisemitic chant “from the river to the sea.” He performed the song at a “Palestine Will Live Forever” benefit concert in Washington. All proceeds of the event went to organizations like the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees. Israeli officials have stated that the UNRWA has strong ties to Hamas, the terrorist group who led the Oct. 7th attack on Israel.

During the performance, the rapper encouraged everyone in the audience to give a big “f you” to their country.

“Straight up, say it. I’m not gonna stop you. I’m not gonna stop you. Yeah, F— America,” which was followed by roaring cheer from the crowd. 

Hammer points out the irony of what Macklemore is trying to do.

“Does he have the right to say it? Sure. I’m not saying he doesn’t. But am I okay with this guy saying ‘f the country’ that’s made him a millionaire multiple times over?.. No. You ungrateful – you-know-what. If you hate the country so much, you Macklemore, have the money and the means, you can leave.”
