Story summary

Pop star Macklemore generated controversy with his "Free Palestine" messaging on Ed Sheeran's tour, leading to his removal from it due to backlash over his pro-Palestinian stance. However, celebrities like Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton came forward to support Macklemore, with Hamilton expressing solidarity under Macklemore’s Instagram post. Following the Seattle native's pledge to donate $1 million to Palestinian aid organizations, children's YouTube star Ms. Rachel also pledged to match the donation and urged other wealthy white celebrities to do the same. Hamilton’s history of activism, including his prominent role in the Black Lives Matter movement and kneeling during national anthems, made his support for Macklemore unsurprising given Formula One's lack of diversity; Hamilton is mixed-race and remains the only Black driver in the sport.
