This weekend, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis surprised fans in their hometown of Seattle by performing at the Experience Music Project Museum for the kickoff for the "Spectacle: The Music Video" exhibit.

But as AllHipHop points out, when it comes to the fans, most of the backlash came after the concert. "Most in attendance didn't seem offended, as there was no visceral response from the crowd. Most people that felt emotionally about the performance expressed it on social media."

"A fake witches nose, wig, and beard = random costume. Not my idea of a stereotype of anybody." (Via Twitter / @Macklemore)
And a writer for Seattle Weekly didn't seem to see anything odd with the getup either, chalking it up to an attempt to keep from getting "mobbed." After all, he was a surprise guest.
Regardless of what the intention was, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis have another show coming up on May 25 in Las Vegas. And as Billboard puts it, "It's a safe bet that his new costume will not be joining the duo on the road."
