00:00 Ed Sheeran just shaded other musicians, sharing that one of his biggest pet peeves is artists
00:05 pretending they don't care about the success of their music.
00:09 British singer and songwriter Ed Sheeran rose to fame in 2011 after performing his debut
00:13 single "The A Team" on Later.
00:16 Before making his television debut, however, Sheeran would play for passerby's on the
00:20 sidewalk, but has since gone on to win four Grammys and numerous other awards.
00:24 Sheeran has also collaborated with many other huge musicians, including Justin Bieber, Taylor
00:30 Swift, and Travis Scott.
00:33 But Sheeran doesn't have the same amount of love for all other artists, as he recently
00:37 revealed on the TheraPuss podcast.
00:40 When asked if he still cares about how the public receives his new music, Sheeran responded
00:44 with an immediate "of course," and went on to slightly shade other artists, venting,
00:49 "I don't really subscribe to this whole, like, not caring thing.
00:54 That's all a kind of ruse because it sounds cool to say, but every artist wants people
00:58 to like their music.
00:59 It really p***s me off when people are like, 'Oh, I don't care how it does.'
01:03 I'm like, 'Shut up.
01:05 You do.
01:06 Everyone does.
01:07 Anyone in the pop game definitely cares.'"
