British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran He denied this Monday that he “borrows” ideas from composers without their permission and assured that he always recognizes the work of other artists if he includes foreign parts in his songs.

The accusation, brought by the lawyer Andrew Sutcliffehas underlined that the artist “he borrows ideas” and “includes them in his songs; “Sometimes he recognizes it, but other times he doesn’t.”
According to the lawyer, Sheeran grants credits to these “borrowed ideas” depending on whether they are famous or not and, in this case, he added, his clients. They are not Shaggy, Coldplay, Rihanna or Jay-Z.
“If they were, they would have been treated very differently,” Sutcliffe exposed when presenting the case.
When asked by his lawyer in this regard, Sheeran answered with a resounding “no”: “Those examples you have given are obviously from famous artists, two of them are people with whom I have composed songs,” he recalled.
The English singer-songwriter also attacked the accusation and said that if “Mr. Sutcliffe would have done his job”, he would have found that there are “many” unknown artists with whom he has agreed to use parts of his songs.
Sheeran today provided several examples of anonymous artists with whom he has “closed” in advance the use of parts of their creations, such as when he composed, he said, a theme for the popular television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and recognized the contribution of an “unknown composer”.
