Robert Kraft Says Ed Sheeran Asked Him For Two Million Dollars In Aid

The Request

US stadium owner Robert Kraft says singer Ed Sheeran asked him to donate two million dollars for aid in the region.

The Background

This request follows a challenge from rapper Macklemore, who stated he would give one million dollars to Palestinian groups and challenged Kraft to match that amount. Kraft, who owns the New England Patriots, previously had Macklemore removed as an opening act for Sheeran at his venue.

The Announcement

Kraft shared details of the two million dollar request in his second public statement regarding the controversy this week. However, he did not specify the exact locations where the funds would be sent.
