I'm feeling all of my friends and family and people I know abandon me.
Jethro Sheeran 0:05
I'm a Jethro Sheeran, he's Edward Sheeran. We're both Sheerans, we're cousins. Seeing what he did to McLemore, I believe that he kicked him off that show. Because I've witnessed him being a coward for almost 10 years and lying. He's very talented, and people think I'm jealous, but jealous of what? His looks, his guitar. I mean, I don't hate him at all. I wish him the best, and I really sounds like you really do hate him. I was very, very brave not to respond to Ed because he was doing all this on TikTok. his hands down his trousers, putting his fingers in pins. You're the kind of Prince Harry of the whole thing, aren't you? Sticking into your family, right? When I first started this rapping shit I felt pressure from haters, became invaded with sadness and just developed a hater radar made for the stars, kept my grind in the dark.
Piers Morgan 0:46
Can I be honest mate? I like Ed Sheeran's music. What you just did to me is illustrate why he's a global superstar and you're not.
Jethro Sheeran 0:54
But he s he rapped exactly that. You ever watched The Office? Uh uh you're gonna say I'm the David Brenner of music. A bit, yeah. Yeah, uh. I d I think you're a bit silly
Piers Morgan 1:05
yourself. Well, Ed Sheeran returned to the stage at the weekend. Uh, his first performance since the McLamore Free Palestine controversy became a global debate. Here's what he told the crowd.
Unknown 1:17
I am feeling all of my friends and family and people I know abandon me and I look at the end of the week and I see fifty thousand people who haven't abandoned me.
Piers Morgan 1:28
Well, many have speculated that Ed's friends and family reference may have been about his former collaborator and cousin, Jeff Rosheeran, who berated the singer as a coward on social media. It's a feud that maybe even the UN might struggle to settle, but let's have a go. Jeff Rosheeran joins me now.

What is the background of the Macklemore controversy that sparked this interview?

Piers Morgan 1:44
Well, Jesser, welcome to Uncensitive. Thank you very much for having me. It's a pleasure. I'm a big fan of your show. Thank you. Just for those who don't know the exact relationship, your first cousin. Your fathers are brothers. Exactly that. And in the early days, you were both musicians and you had a good relationship. Yes. How would you categorize it?
Jethro Sheeran 2:01
Um I was living in Bristol. I was making hip-hop music. He was doing more folky guitar stuff. We came together, we joined forces to make um a label called Urban Angel, which I have still today. Um, and we were performing together and we kind of I took him on stage for the first time. Um, I took him to the studio for the first time, and then he just kind of went his own way. Um You know, he was doing all my shows and supporting me there, and then he kind of went and just blew up and then just completely left everything that we built behind. But not only that, took everything down. Forty-eight songs, um, many that he wasn't featured on, um, from Spotify and Apple, blamed his manager, blamed his um lawyers and his record label and then my lawyer finally got a response saying Ed Shiran
Jethro Sheeran 2:58
requested and instructed us to take down these songs. So of course I was very disappointed in him. And seeing what he did to McLamore, I believe that he kicked him off that show. I believe he did it with his team and then he blamed the promoter. And the promoter went, he did a Scooby Doo, like, oh, it was you. I mean we don't have evidence for that and
Piers Morgan 3:15
it's
Jethro Sheeran 3:15
clear that Robert
Piers Morgan 3:16
It's my only personal opinion but Robert Craft who who is the owner of the stadium.
Jethro Sheeran 3:20
Yeah.
Piers Morgan 3:21
Has not denied that it was him saying, along with other stadium owners, we're not gonna allow these shows to happen with Matlable. But you think it was Ed Shira's? I
Jethro Sheeran 3:29
do think that because he's done it to Wiley. There's evidence, and you know, he's dropped uh Wiley in back in the day. There's evidence on one extra where Wiley's whiling out on um BBT Radio, he left scorched the whole grime scene. Myself, we built him up and he turned his back on all of us. So when you hear him say When you hear
Piers Morgan 3:45
him say that, you know, he's been he's been let down by family and friends, it a lot of people say, Well, he's probably talking about you maybe but you you came out and you did criticize him publicly, you called him a coward.
