Macklemore 'Jewish Costume' Ridiculed by Actor Seth Rogen; Rapper Continues to Deny He was Being Anti-Semitic

Due to wearing a costume that resembled a Jewish stereotype during a May 16th performance, Macklemore is now receiving slack from actor and comedian Seth Rogen.
On opening night of "Spectacle: The Music Video," an exhibition at Seattle's EMP Museum, Macklemore graced the stage in a wig, fake beard, and long prosthetic nose. Supposedly, at the time, the rapper gave no explanation for the costume.
It wasn't until he received wind that onlookers were blaming him for mocking the Jewish community that he felt the need to address the issue on Twitter.
"A fake witches nose, wig, and beard = random costume," tweeted Macklemore. "Not my idea of a stereotype of anybody."

However, Seth Rogen isn't buying it. The funny guy thought Macklemore's costume was the epitome of anti-Semitic.
.@macklemore really?? Because if I told someone to put together an anti Semitic Jew costume, they'd have that exact shopping list. — Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) May 19, 2014
On May 25th, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis have a show booked in Las Vegas. Do you think the "Jewish" costume will be included?
