Knows he fucked up is all. Fact is is that now it's not about his opinion of Gaza, that's irrelevant now. (His opinion, not the issue).

The problem is now we all know he is a coward and backed down to pressure from the billionaire class, and completely screwed over his friends in the process.

“I’ve never wanted to be an activist musician,”

I guess his concert for Ukraine doesn't count as activism? Give me a break. This piss-poor attempt at damage control is disgusting.

I've seen nothing in his 'apology' that shows he actually learned anything other than that people are mad at him. He is still doing the both sides thing. He didn't call out Israel or the ongoing genocide. He just wants people to go back to paying for his concerts and music.

He sided with people who are pro-genocide. He hasn't shown that he actually cares about that issue. It sounds like he was actively and intentionally avoiding saying the word genocide.

I never cared for his music and don't really think he's actively bad. Just boring mainstream pop meh.

However, I'm glad that this entire situation has given a whole lot of media attention to the fucked up situation in Gaza and even a glimpse at how some people are trying to silence any criticism of Israel.

Bro should disappear for a minute to reflect and regroup. No point trying to save this if he doesn't even know where he stands. "Both-siding" bullshit isn't gonna get him anywhere.

Not so unjustifiable that he won't play nice with Robert Kraft, aka as long it won't affect his bottom line

Too late.

These fucking idiots have it so easy.

Just admit fault and say you've received an outpouring of messages that made you realize what a huge mistake you've been making and pay your shitty little PR people to dump money at Palestine. People would've shrugged and move on.

Took what 3 days or something? Fucking moron. You're toast now.

He let them silence Macklemore. Sounds like he found a justification...

I'm losing money so i will say whatever my label tells me to say. I have no spine.

very vocal about centuries of Jewish suffering and a single oktober 7 event

he showed his support for the genocide clearly

nice try, its like saying "i will donate to a cause" after you been called out for a while and you dint say anyting. the PR stunt isnt going to help you now.
