Ed Sheeran's Cousin Sounds Off Amid Macklemore Drama
Jethro, who performs under the stage name Alonestar, went scorched earth on the Thinking Out Loud creator. And accused him of putting on a front for public perception, noting that he is not the good person that he portrays himself to be.
"Finally it's all coming out! . Finally the world and all his fans see through him. He's not a good person; I don't like his music, so I can't say he's even a good artist," Jethro wrote in a post obtained by AllHip Hop.
To bring things up to speed, Macklemore made comments in support of Palestine. When the tour hit New Jersey's MetLife Stadium earlier this month. Leading to him being nixed from the tour. Jethro says that the move is just further proof that Sheeran is not the person he portrays himself as.
"He's shady, and he's dropped Macklemore himself. I believe 100% he's a coward," he added. "In my opinion, he's a bad human. Just my opinion from my experiences."
Jethro Makes Wild Allegations About Pop Star

"He's honestly a selfish individual with malicious, cunning ways. "He kills you with kindness" (His Words). I'm his first blood cousin, and he screwed me over, made fun of my mental health and mental health in general," the post adds. "He stopped me from feeding my daughter by taking down all my songs, and my lawyer showed me proof from Warner that it was all him! Ed Sheeran!"At the time of writing, Sheeran has not responded to Jethro's comments.
