Macklemore has cancelled his show in Dubai, scheduled for October 4. The rapper explained that the move was in protest over the United Arab Emirates' support for Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, a warring party in the country's civil war. "The current situation in Sudan is urgent, horrific and it's going largely unnoticed globally. I'm following the lead of Sudanese organizers and activists who are trying to be heard," he wrote in an Instagram post. "Until the UAE stops arming and funding the RSF I will not perform there."
