Macklemore unknowingly invited a fugitive onstage during a festival appearance in Slovakia last week.
The rapper was performing at Lovestream in Bratislava last Saturday (August 17) when he invited a fan on stage to sing with him. But, unbeknownst to him, she has been evading police capture.
After the performance, the woman reportedly “boasted” about the experience on social media, which garnered the attention of the police.
A Facebook post on the official Polícia Slovenskej Republiky page described the “curious situation”.
“During the performance of one of the foreign interpreters, one of the audience was also selected to the stage, who sang with [Macklemore] and apparently enjoyed the joint performance with her idol,” the translated post read.
SLOVENKA VO VYTRŽENÍ ZO SPOLOČNÉHO SÓLA S MACKLEMOROM ZABUDLA, ŽE JE V PÁTRANÍ: POLICAJTI POČKALI KÝM DOSPIEVA A ZOBRALI…
Posted by Polícia Slovenskej republiky on Monday, August 19, 2024
“The woman immortalized this experience and boasted it on a social network, which did not escape the attention of an observant citizen, who at the same time follows the site of the MV SR. He recognized the woman and found out that he had just seen her on the above-mentioned website and informed the police immediately.”
It reads that the police waited until the woman on the stage was correctly identified as the “24-year-old woman from Bratislava” who was actively avoiding an imprisonment sentence. “The woman was subsequently escorted to the premises of the institution for imprisonment,” the post concludes.
The police force didn’t reveal why the woman was wanted, but Plus 7, a Slovakian publication, is reporting that it was allegedly in connection to an unpaid €800 fine from an incident in 2019.
Meanwhile, Macklemore was one of many celebrities who recently signed an open letter urging President Joe Biden to call for a ceasefire. He joins Dua Lipa, Killer Mike, and Michael Stipe for “an immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Gaza and Israel before another life is lost.”
He previously delivered a rousing speech at a pro-Palestine rally calling the conflict a “genocide”. The rapper also released a song in aid victims of the conflict, which Tom Morello called “the most Rage Against The Machine song since Rage Against The Machine”.
