American rapper Macklemore said he has cancelled his October show in Dubai in protest over the United Arab Emirates' (UAE) support for Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), 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 organisers and activists who are trying to be heard,” he wrote in an Instagram post on Saturday explaining his decision to cancel the October 4 concert.
