In the latest chapter of the ongoing Ed Sheeran – Macklemore – Robert Kraft situation, Sheeran and Kraft have apparently seen and raised Macklemore’s $1 million donation to Palestinian relief by donating $2 million each — although it’s unclear exactly to whom.
In a statement released on the Gilette Stadium X account, Kraft said, “Ed called me and asked me to commit $2 million to match his donation to aid in the region to fight this humanitarian crisis,” but the specifics stop there. Reps for Kraft and Sheeran did not immediately respond to Variety’s request for more specific information.
