Rapper Macklemore basked in industry love when he sang his pro-gay marriage anthem Same Love at the Grammy Awards earlier this year.

Now, he’s being questioned by stars and strangers alike after appearing in a stage costume that struck some as an ugly Jewish stereotype. The rapper donned a fake beard, hooked nose and wig during a Friday concert appearance in Seattle.

Macklemore used his Twitter account to deny there was any meaning behind the costume.

Comedic actor Seth Rogen didn’t let the conflict pass without sharing his own dig via social media.
