Ed Sheeran's cousin's Bob Marley claim leaves social media in stitches

Ed Sheeran's cousin Jethro Sheeran's remarks about Bob Marley have left thousands of people laughing on social media.

Jethro Sheeran recently appeared on Piers Morgan's show and criticized his famous cousin over the removal of Macklemore from his US tour.

Morgan on Monday re-shared a clip from his show where Jethro said "I’ve got songs with Tupac… with Snoop Dogg… I’ve got one coming out with Bob Marley. These are the type of people, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, too."

"How've you done a song with Bob Marley? He's dead."

His response, "That's another story," went viral, with social media users leaving funny comments.

"I wanna hear that story," an Instagram user wrote jokingly." Another said, "That's another story — ain't ever heard a 2Pac song ft. Ed's cousin." 

Ed Sheeran and Jethro’s relationship has been strained for some time, with prior public disputes.

Ed Sheeran has faced backlash after US rapper Macklemore was removed from his tour over his pro-Palestine views. Sheeran said he was abandoned by his family and friends over the controversy.
