Jay Z Called Ed Sheeran An 'Alien' After Hearing His Third Album

Ed Sheeran practices for the all-you-can-eat contest on the new cover of Billboard mag.

Here’s what the 24-year-old musician had to share:

On his upcoming third album: “So this is my little baby. Normally I don’t care much about what people think of my music. If you love it, awesome; if you don’t, go and listen to something else.’ But this time is different. This project is a lot more dear to me. I’m nervous about how it’s going to be received.”

On if he gets to hangout with Taylor Swift‘s girl squad: “Of course. It’s not a vaginas-only club.”

On Jay Z‘s reaction to a preview of his third album: “He made me play it four times in a row and called me an alien. That was promising.”

On opting not to stream his music: “I don’t stream anything ever. I don’t even really get it. I buy everything off iTunes or physically.”

Ed is partnering up with the Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation to offer fans a chance to meet him at an exclusive, invite-only concert in Malibu in November. Fans can go to Crowdrise.com/Rock4EB and donate $10 to receive an entry to win!
