American designer and activist.
Case
After Macklemore’s “Free Palestine” remarks at MetLife, the tour promoter said upcoming venues would not allow him on the lineup and he would miss remaining U.S. dates. Macklemore attributed the outcome to venue pressure; Robert Kraft confirmed barring him from Gillette Stadium.
Role at the time: Designer and activist, commenting beneath Macklemore’s statement
Statement summary
Alana Hadid thanked Macklemore for his statement and said those who removed him had given in to what she called Zionist pressure.
“Thank you for reframing this Ben it’s so important but I’m so disappointed that they caved to Zionist pressure @macklemore we are proud of you my brother.”
Relative to Macklemore’s speech and removal, Hadid supports him and condemns the decision to drop him. Her characterisation of the pressure is her own assertion and is contested by other speakers in this case.
