While Sheeran claimed to be adhering to his apolitical brand, one critic argued he was really just "letting a pro-Israel billionaire choose his politics for him."
It’s a weasle-word-way for the promoter to say “you can’t speak out against genocide”
Which is a weasle-word-way to say “you can’t speak out”.

Ed Sheeran is just too dumb to realize it. That’s my read. He’s a great performer with a pretty face and not a whole hell of a lot behind it (aside for an uncanny ability to mix 4 chords with words and rhythm).
The role of musicians and celebrities should be to speak out about this type of shit. Fuck. They have the podium, they have the privilege.
The reason why we are in this shit is because promotors/sponsors/owners of, well, everything and everyone, have done a damn good job of convincing everyone that they can’t speak.
And then they hand him a microphone, and they have to decide…can they speak? Or do they believe that they can’t?
I think he’s plenty smart, but he runs one of the highest grossing tours of all time and he needs the billionaires on his side so he can keep making that money.
How else will he become a billionaire himself so he can enjoy the finer things in life? Like asian message parlors, trips to Israel and locally sourced children…
So a quick google search tells me his net worth is estimated at 400 million dollars. Do those other things only unlock once you hit 1 billion? What do millionaires get?

Like tieing up an elephant to a wooden stake.

He’s plenty rich already, what he needs more for?
