99.9999% Of Ed Sheeran's Fanbase Blissfully Unaware He Has Been Cancelled By An Extremely Online Corner Of The Internet

British pop star, Ed Sheeran, is just as popular as ever - it can be confirmed.

This follows a tumultuous 24-hours on the internet, which saw an extremely online community of woke-1 auditors announce that the 35-year-old singer-songwriter was effectively persona non-grata.

Despite the relentless social media backlash, it appears that the Yorkshireman has not suffered in the way of ticket sales to his current 20-date stadium tour of the world.

His social media following, which he has been quite vocal about not taking any notice of, has also not suffered.

This comes in the wake of over-reaching allegations that Ed Sheeran is indirectly involved in the censorship of that 43-year-old rapper from Seattle that stole four Grammys off Kendrick Lamar in 2014 because goofy white boy hip hops songs about shopping at thrift shops and being nice to gay people was a bit more palatable than the uncomfortably gritty 'good kid, m.A.A.d city'.

Ed Sheeran now faces deafening calls to jeopardise his entire stadium tour, in defence of this suddenly staunch champion of geopolitical injustices who was probably punching a bit above his weight to get the call up as opening act to begin with.

Furthermore, the critics of Ed Sheeran, who are blaming him for the unflinching political positions held by billionaire stadium owners who do not like the white rapper - have also taken aim at beloved feminist rock icon P!NK for not saying something that she was expected to say on the internet.

These bold online campaigns to begin targeting universally beloved pop stars with highly emotive political sledges may prove to be the pressure test for this corner of the internet - as the large middle class cohorts of their soft supporters, who are generally normal and lovely people, will likely not pledge an allegiance to social media screeching over the soundtrack to their own lives.

That is, if they even know about the recent political checkpoints that have been overlooked by their favourite musicians, with estimates that 99.9999% of Ed Sheeran's entire fanbase are completely and blissfully unaware he has been cancelled for micro-aggressive neutrality towards an ageing rapper's freedom of speech between his 12-year-old frat rap ballads.
