Ed Sheeran’s Rapper Nephew Slams ‘Weirdo’ Star Over Album Cover Dispute

Jethro claimed that Ed himself ordered the record label to force the rapper to remove both his name and face from the artwork of a remix of one of their throwback collaborations – a song titled Raise themwhich the pair recorded together 14 years ago.

Jethro, who goes by his alias Alonestar, raged on Facebook: “Ed. I’m not a fan, can’t you just live your life? Leave me alone to do my thing and you do yours.”

He continued: “I am so tired of lying and withholding the truth. Everyone blames lawyers and managers. Warner Music UK’s lawyer, like my lawyers, was shocked as to why she was activated by Ed Sheeran in this case.

“It was all Ed. I don’t care anymore, I’m not going to lie for him.’
