Rep. Rashida Tlaib I Don't Respect Ed Sheeran or Robert Kraft!!! Published September 15, 2026 10:09 AM PDT Rep. Rashida Tlaib is raking Ed Sheeran and Robert Kraft over the coals after Macklemore was kicked off Ed's tour for his pro-Palestine rhetoric ... telling us she has no respect for Ed or Kraft. Charlie caught up with the Representative from Michigan on Tuesday ... and she says she instantly lost respect for Ed when he dropped Macklemore from his remaining tour dates amid mounting pressure.

Ed has said it wasn't his call to remove Macklemore from the tour ... though many online believe he could've stepped in and stopped it if he wanted to. Ed blames Macklemore's exit on multiple venues and promoters saying they didn't want him to perform at their businesses.
