Ed Sheeran’s cousin Jethro calls him “selfish and malicious” amid Macklemore fallout
Ed Sheeran’s cousin Jethro Sheeran took to Instagram to share a post against Ed. Jethro said, “Finally it’s all coming out! I’m ashamed of my Cousin Ed teddysphotos he’s done. 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 added that the singer is a “selfish individual with malicious….kills you with kindness. He further claimed Ed made fun of his mental health.
Despite Ed Sheeran’s statement that removing Macklemore was the promoter’s decision, his cousin stated otherwise. He added, “He is shady, and he’s dropped Macklemore himself. I believe 100% he’s a coward. In my opinion, he’s a bad human. Just my opinion from my experiences.”
Jethro alleged that he took care of Ed and introduced him to music by taking him to his studio. He added that Ed “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.”
Jethro further warned viewers that the Shape of You singer is “calculated and cruel.”
He said, “That’s my honest opinion, and I’m family!! He’s not a true Sheeran! Don’t hate on Sheeran because of this silly little boy. Sorry to say, but at least I have the balls to speak the truth!!! He’s a coward!!”
The post came days after Ed Sheeran faced backlash following Macklemore’s remarks about Palestine in the opening act of Ed’s show. According to Page Six, Macklemore was removed from the tour, which Ed described as the promoter’s decision.
While Jethro shared the post against Ed, there are no official comments from Ed’s team.
