Broader criticism of Sheeran's recent conduct emerges

Users reference unspecified recent controversies, including a delayed concert start in Philadelphia and an apparent conflict with "Kraft" (likely a reference to a company or entity). One commenter suggests Sheeran's damage control is ineffective and that being perceived as apolitical while taking controversial actions has backfired.

He's one of those "I dont wanna lose any friends" guys who loses all his friends

Division is bad, but the causes of division? The causes are very good.

smh can't believe he'd alienate his club-going fans like this 🥀

Play-Doh, forever malleable, always ready to fit into a mold, never actually solidly it's own thing. At the end of the day, a boring lump of clay.

His Philly show opened 2.5 hours ‘late’ because there was no opening act. No one else would open? Did they ask anyone? No nothing? Really!? He wouldn’t even start his own set early? Just came out, made a tepid statement, and then played his set? Who ever is doing damage control for him, ain’t.

And baby~~~, I want to make love to youuuuuuu In a way that's permitted by our moral legislaaaation, ohhhhh~~~ And baby~~~, I just want to hold you tight 'Cause you're not on my list of undesirables, yeeeeeah~~~

the same ed sheeran who is so anti political that he spoke up for Ukraine, spoke up for Jeremy Corbyn, campaigned against racism, campaigned against Brexit and publicly called for the US congress to pass the Equality Act. by all means be a greedy bastard, support whomever, but don't lie about it

I’m pretty certain being the opener for Ed Sheeran has become a huge issue right now, it would be a pretty risky move for any band, and most of those still willing would be a risk for him. As I wrote earlier: He had no idea what his faltering to Kraft would do to his career, none.

Ukrainians are white so its not politics
-
Oh ok so you're saying we can't all relate to wanting to touch a sexy crazy body??
-
his breakout song was "the A team" which is very much an activism song

Most of being an asshole is having zero memory and assuming everyone else does too

Why did they AI smoothen this pic of Ed Sheeran omg
-
My man learned to roll his Rs and is like "Oh I HAVE to make the most annoying song about Spain you've ever heard. Hoo hah sangria, mamasita" Please REDACTED either yourself or me, Ed. I just want the horrid gruel music for people who need a glass of milk for their lemon and herb chicken to end.

You’ll need to get behind the Irish for the crime that is ‘Galway Girl’.

Why not just say, yes it very much IS politics and that isn't a dirty word? In a democratic society all adults should be political or we lose that democracy!
-
I’m glad he’s getting his arse handed to him by the global community.
-
Without this, the human race could not go on.🍀

It's late and I was skimming the feed, and long story short, I thought this was Billy Joel's take
-
At a fundraiser show for Ukraine because he likes his invasions without a mess.
-
When will people stop fantasizing about us uniting with racist, homophobic, cruel people who proudly cut food subsidies for children and vote to keep federal minimum wage at $7.25 an hour? If you’re silent, you’re complicit. It has NOTHING to do with politics.
-
Yeah, never heard a single song of his and feel glad about it. I think he's mainly just UK famous. They can keep him.
-
Tbh a lot of his music is actually pretty political. It makes this whole thing weirder and worse.
-
I always found people talking like this as massive red flags. Because it’s disingenuous to say it’s remotely close to a 50/50 split. Also, pissing off bigots and making them leave is objectively a good thing you should be aiming towards. You want to weed out those losers from your fanbase.
