Pink Issues Statement Following Backlash for Critiquing Macklemore’s Pro-Palestine Comments: “Standing Up for My Own People”
Pink issued an extensive statement on Friday addressing the backlash she faced for resharing a post calling out Macklemore for his pro-Palestine comments and demanding he be removed from Ed Sheeran’s ongoing tour.
In a lengthy post on Instagram Friday, the singer-songwriter said that the post she had shared “said things in words I didn’t write, and I wouldn’t have chosen all of them,” further stating that “I’d rather be disagreed with for what I actually said than hated for what anybody else wrote, so let me say it.”
“I was born a Jew. I didn’t pick it, and I’ve never hidden it,” she wrote. “And this week a whole lot of people decided what I believe without asking me, without checking a single thing I’ve ever said or done, because a repost and the word ‘Jew’ were apparently enough to fill in the rest. But let me fill it in… myself.” Related Stories Music Snoop Dogg Tapped to Host the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards Music Noah Kahan Drops "Orbiter" Music Video on Spotify
