Ed Sheeran’s cousin Jethro Sheeran calls him out after the Macklemore row

The pop singer’s cousin, Jethro Sheeran, recently took to his Instagram account to share his thoughts on Ed, calling him a coward over everything that has happened recently. He posted about the singer and shared, “You can’t silence me! Ed Sheeran is a coward!! I’m embarrassed about this photo, but it’s 10 years old!” He shared a screenshot of a Facebook post with the same phrase written on it. He also shared an old photo of the two of them embracing, which he references in his comment.In another post shared on his page three days ago, Jethro stated he is “ashamed” of his cousin, adding, “Finally the world and all his fans see through him. He’s not a good person; I don’t like his music, so I can’t say he’s even a good artist. He’s honestly a selfish individual with malicious, cunning ways. ‘He kills you with kindness’ (His Words). I’m his first blood cousin, and he screwed me over and made fun of my mental health and mental health in general.”Calling him a “bad human,” he mentioned, “He only cared about himself, and he puts out a fake narrative that’s calculated just to keep everyone happy so he can do big private gigs and keep brand deals, etc.”

Ed Sheeran says that his family has abandoned him

Ed Sheeran recently broke down on stage while performing in Philadelphia over the weekend. Addressing the ongoing situation with Macklemore and his pro-Palestine comments, he read a statement about the saga. Videos of the artist were shared online, where he opened up about seeing the truth about many people.He added, in a video captured by a fan, the singer said, “In these situations you really find out who your friends are. It’s been a weird week. It happened very quickly. At the same time, I had so many people telling me to cancel this tour, and so many people I’ve known for years and years and years, they’re kind of backing away.”He continued as the crowd of 50,000 attendees listened and cheered, adding, “In the back of my mind, I saw the ticket sales for this gig, and I didn’t see cancellations; I saw people buying tickets for this gig. Everyone’s telling me to cancel, and I’m feeling like all of my friends and family and people I know abandon me.”Sheeran has expressed on multiple occasions that the decision to remove Macklemore from his ‘LOOP’ tour was not his. He shared that he attempted to mediate the situation with venues and organisers; however, the decision was never in his hands. Despite the explanation, the singer has faced significant backlash online from netizens, fans, and fellow celebrities in the industry.
