US rapper Macklemore cancels Dubai gig over alleged UAE role in Sudan war

American rapper Macklemore canceled his October concert in Dubai, citing the UAE’s alleged support of Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which are involved in the ongoing conflict in Sudan. The UAE has denied these claims, but Macklemore’s decision, influenced by calls for solidarity with Sudan and his recent support for Palestinians, has reignited attention on the UAE’s role in the conflict. Refunds for the canceled show have been issued.
