Jordan Stephens, a longtime associate of Ed Sheeran, criticizes Sheeran’s handling of a public dispute involving Macklemore. Stephens says that Sheeran’s on-stage comments about the matter are getting progressively worse, using the phrase “every time he speaks on stage, it gets WORSE.”

Both reports frame the remarks as a direct response to Sheeran’s ongoing discussion of the Macklemore-related row. They do not provide additional context about what, specifically, Sheeran said or how the dispute started, focusing instead on Stephens’s reaction and the intensity of his language. The outlets present Stephens as the source of the critique, while Sheeran is referenced largely in connection with the remarks being criticized.

Overall, the coverage centers on Stephens’s public condemnation of Sheeran’s statements, rather than on new details of the dispute itself.
