US rapper Macklemore has denied accusations of antisemitism after he appeared to don a “fake Jew” outfit for a gig in Seattle.
He issued an apology on his website, insisting that he did not intend to insult Jewish people when he wore a black suit, wig, beard and large plastic nose.
There was widespread outrage when photographs of the concert were posted online.
The “Thrift Shop” star hit back on Twitter: “A fake witches nose, wig, and beard = random costume. Not my idea of a stereotype of anybody.”
