Ed Sheeran's cousin Jethro Sheeran says their public feud began in 2024 over a piece of cover art. Warner Music, the singer's label, demanded that he remove Ed's face and name from the artwork for 'Raise Em Up'. Ed and Jethro recorded that track in 2010.
Jethro took the picture down as the label asked. He brought up the dispute again this month in a Facebook post calling Ed a 'coward' over the rapper Macklemore's exit. That timing matters to fans following the tour row, because the dispute between the cousins dates to a 2024 artwork row.
