Macklemore isn't a stranger to bizarre outfits, but he may have taken it to a new level, going so far as dressing up like a "literal Nazi propaganda," as Gawker described it. 

The rapper and his right hand man, Ryan Lewis, performed at a secret show in Seattle to celebrate a new exhibit at their hometown's EMP Museum. Macklemore hopped on stage rocking a wig, beard, fake hooked nose, silkiest of silk shirts, and a black suit. Basically, he was dressed like a stereotype of a Jewish man.

A few people have taken note of Macklemore's recent outfit, voicing their opinions on Twitter. The rapper, though, also aired his thoughts, tweeting:

A fake witches nose, wig, and beard = random costume. Not my idea of a stereotype of anybody.

Because dressing as a witch is the same thing. Just, no words.
