Fans Push Back Against P! nk's Residency After She Criticized Macklemore's Support For Palestine
The decision to give the powerhouse vocalist such a prominent platform has already raised some eyebrows, particularly following her recent comments about the Israel-Palestine conflict. In September, she faced significant backlash after sharing a social media post criticizing Macklemore for his pro-Palestinian statements and performances, including his calls to "Free Palestine" during Ed Sheeran's tour.
She later addressed the controversy in a lengthy social media statement. However, her response continued to draw criticism from people who disagreed with her stance, and the controversy has now resurfaced following news of her upcoming Las Vegas residency.
"First solo female pop headliner at the Las Vegas Sphere," noted an X user. "Humanity is running out of 'firsts,' it seems."
One user slammed the singer as "vile," as another claimed, "Only zionists will show up."
"Hope it flops," a user responded, as another sarcastically added, "Good luck selling tickets."
"Nobody likes P!nk anymore," claimed a user.
"If she hadn't become so insufferable about politics, I probably would have checked it out," noted another.
