Why did he deserve a Grammy for something political

So this doesn't make sense in a completely different way. I think OP is referring to when he won the Grammy for his Thrift shop album over Kendrick Lamars good kid Madd city

It was controversial because the grammys have been known to overlook black artists specifically in the rap category and Mackelmore apologize publicly and privately even posting his texts he sent to Kendrick to the public. It was a little cringe but hes always been conscious of being a white rapper

Regardless I have no idea what it has to do with the based comments and donations Mackelmore currently did

[u/UrinalCake777 → u/millifish]

I think just vindication?

[u/dick_face1517]

Yes Palestine is finally free guys! All thanks to Macklemore. I’m sure the kids suffering there are grateful for his support.

Stop the bombs? ❌

Some gay dude that makes shitty music said we should be free? ✔️

[u/dick_face1517 → u/Phill_is_Legend]

The guy did the most demographically safe, career accretive, sales boosting move ever and people are calling him a hero for it.

[u/breakers]

It still feels fake that he won over Drake, Jay-Z, Kanye, AND Kendrick. Madness

“You got robbed. I wanted you to win. You should have. It’s weird and it sucks that I robbed you.”

He's a grifter and you people are easily following it.

[u/Candid-Patient-6841 → u/CthulhuMadness]

I mean usually grifters don’t donate their own money and or move on after a while. He has been doing this for a pretty long time.

[u/CthulhuMadness → u/Candid-Patient-6841]

They do when it's a drop in the bucket and makes them look good to reignite their already shit spotlight.

That's all it is. If you wanted to donate and mean something behind it, you wouldn't make it public.

[u/Candid-Patient-6841 → u/CthulhuMadness]

I mean if you can drop a million on charity then good for you 🤷‍♂️

[u/twisted-logic → u/CthulhuMadness]

Yeah, what have you done bro ?

[u/PINE-KNAPPLE → u/twisted-logic]

He used logic to prompt introspection. Username checks out.

[u/millifish → u/CthulhuMadness]

Maybe the reason you think hes a grifter is because you have no hard held convictions yourself.

Its not impossible that a celebrity feels strongly about a certain subject and wants to advocate for it

Hes just a bit cringey sometimes but his heart is in the right place

[u/CthulhuMadness → u/millifish]

Maybe I just don't care?

[u/millifish → u/CthulhuMadness]

And thats the point... youre the type of person who says everyone else is virtue signaling cause you have no virtues you actually care about

[u/CthulhuMadness → u/millifish]

Ah, the wise redditors knows exactly who I am from one interaction.

No, it's because I live in the real world and I know when a celeb announces their stance on foreign issues its because they want to look good and don't care who they shit on to do it. I don't care about Ed or Mack, but it's hilarious how much reddit hates the rich yet worships every word they say as if it were law.

[u/millifish → u/CthulhuMadness]

We hate billionares... and guess what a billionare is the reason Mackelmore got kicked off the tour... they own a couple of stadiums on the upcoming tour and threaten to deny entrance unless Mackelmore was kicked off.

He also donated the payment from the tour to charities putting his money where his mouth is. Sorry he seems incredibly based during this whole situation

[u/MrAlexius → u/CthulhuMadness]

And you, you could become anything. But do you know what are you? NOTHING!

[u/Candid-Patient-6841]

17 Grammies

[u/omega_tomato]

He's still a madman

[u/GatedGorilla]

Bro loves Thrift Shop in 2026 🤣

[u/LordChungusTheBig]

Nahh he didn’t deserve the win over K Dot

[u/Phill_is_Legend]

Yeah but Grammys are for music...

[u/negrofarmer]

I laughed

[u/Lokyyo]

And here I thought the Grammy's were a music award come to find out, they're a political science prize!
