美国亿万富翁Robert Kraft已证实，他曾施压流行歌手Ed Sheeran，要求其将说唱歌手Macklemore从他的美国巡演中除名。\n\n这位亿万富翁是位于马萨诸塞州福克斯伯勒的吉列体育场（Gillette Stadium）的所有者。9月下旬，Sheerans美国巡演的其中一站原定在该体育场举行，Macklemore本应担任开场表演嘉宾。\n\nKraft表示，允许Macklemore在吉列体育场演出将越过底线，因为他认为Macklemore近期的表演包含有“更广泛的反犹太主义言论和形象历史”。\n\n周二，Sheeran否认自己参与了将Macklemore从演出中除名的决定，并表示这是场馆和主办方做出的决定。\n\nRobert Kraft是一位犹太裔美国亿万富翁，同时也是美式橄榄球球队新英格兰爱国者队（New England Patriots）的老板。他在马萨诸塞州长大，出身于一个虔诚的正统犹太家庭。《福布斯》杂志估计其身家超过130亿美元。\n\nKraft曾向多个犹太和以色列慈善项目捐款并提供资助，其中包括他出资2000多万美元发起的“站起来反对反犹太仇恨”（Stand Up to Jewish Hate）运动。\n\n他对以色列的公开支持使他在2019年获得了100万美元的Genesis奖。该奖项每年颁发一次，因表彰专业卓越以及对人类和犹太社群的贡献而被誉为“犹太诺贝尔奖”。在颁奖典礼上，以色列总理Benjamin Netanyahu曾表示：“以色列没有比Robert Kraft更忠诚的朋友了。”

xwhatsapp-strokecopylinkgoogleAdd Al Jazeera on GoogleinfoNew England Patriots owner Robert Kraft speaks to the media at a training camp at Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Massachusetts, US, in July 2026 [File: Eric Canha-Imagn Images]By Marthe van der WolfPublished On 15 Sep 202615 Sep 2026American billionaire Robert Kraft has confirmed that he pressured pop star Ed Sheeran to drop rapper Macklemore from his American tour.

The billionaire is the owner of Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, one of the venues Macklemore was due to appear on stage at as the opening act for Sheeran’s US tour in late September.

Letting Macklemore perform in Gillette Stadium would, Kraft said, cross a line, as he describes Macklemore’s recent performances as including a “broader history of antisemitic rhetoric and imagery”.

On Tuesday, Sheeran denied being involved in Macklemore’s removal from his shows, saying it was a decision taken by the venue and the promoter.

Robert Kraft is a Jewish American billionaire who also owns the American football team, the New England Patriots. He grew up in Massachusetts, in an observant, Orthodox Jewish household, and Forbes magazine estimates his wealth to be at more than $13bn.

Kraft has donated to and funded a number of Jewish and Israeli causes, including the campaign “Stand Up to Jewish Hate” that he funded with more than $20m.

His outspoken support for Israel led to him receiving the $1m Genesis Prize, an annual award known as the “Jewish Nobel Prize” for professional excellence and contributions to humanity and the Jewish community, in 2019. At the award ceremony, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, “Israel does not have a more loyal friend than Robert Kraft.”
