Ed Sheeran is facing fresh public backlash after his cousin, Jethro Sheeran, makes critical remarks about him. Multiple outlets report that Jethro describes Ed as “not a good person” and makes additional disparaging claims, including statements that he is “ashamed” to be related to him.
The remarks are reported to unfold alongside controversy involving Macklemore and his participation in the LOOP Tour. According to the coverage, Macklemore is removed from the tour following comments he makes related to Free Palestine, and the dispute becomes part of a broader backlash. One outlet frames Jethro’s comments as escalating fallout that follows Macklemore’s removal, while another reports the cousin’s language as centering on personal character rather than directly on music or politics. Across the articles, the common thread is that the public family dispute is linked in the timing to the Macklemore tour controversy.
While the outlets emphasize different wording and facets—such as whether the cousin calls Ed a “coward” or focuses on music taste—the underlying account remains consistent: Jethro makes public negative statements about his cousin as the tour controversy continues to draw attention.
