Listen to black midi’s bizarre Ed Sheeran diss track ‘ded sheeran (ed sheeran send) part 1’

Although there’s no real indication as to why the BM boys would get involved here, it is worth noting that Wiley has accused Stormzy of selling out by collaborating with Sheeran, rapping “You never cared about grime, you just used it/ Worse than Ed with your watered-down music” in the recent ‘Eediyat Skengman (Stormzy Send).’

 

Given black midi’s anti-authoritarian, give-no-fucks ethos, however, it’s probably just a bit of a meme from the experimental rockers, with drummer Morgan Simpson warbling “Ed Sheeran sucks/ you sellout ginger prick/ your music is doodoo, believe me man we don’t need you” over a cacaphonic beat comprised of wonky arpeggios and Brittney Spears samples. Check it out below – if you dare.
