Macklemore has divided the internet after revealing in his new song that he won’t be voting for Joe Biden in the 2024 election.
On May 6, the rapper shared the track “Hind’s Hall,” which supports a free Palestine and student protests, on his social media accounts. The song also pays tribute to six-year-old Hind Rajab, a Palestinian child who was killed by the Israeli military days after she had called emergency services begging to be rescued. The song’s title refers to the name Pro-Palestinian protesters at Columbia University gave to a building they occupied on campus.
Macklemore is one of the only major music artists who has publicly criticized the U.S. government’s ongoing support of Israel. He has also echoed the sentiments of protesters in the track by saying: “The blood is on your hands, Biden, we can see it all / And f*** no, I’m not votin’ for you in the fall.”
Newsweek emailed spokespeople for Macklemore and Biden for comment…
