Renowned British pop artist Ed Sheeran, set to perform in Malaysia on February 24th, has stirred anticipation among Malaysian fans. However, a video shared by Sheeran on the 16th during a performance in Singapore, where he sampled local cuisine, unexpectedly sparked a war of words among Malaysian and Singaporean fans.
In a social media post, Ed Sheeran expressed gratitude to Singaporean content creator Denise for introducing him to local delicacies and beverages, even trying out Teh Tarik!
The video showcased Ed Sheeran relishing dishes such as chicken rice, laksa, satay, and more in Singapore. However, Malaysian netizens were quick to mock him for "eating Malaysian food in Singapore" and suggested he should explore local delicacies in Malaysia for a more authentic experience, leading to an online dispute between Malaysian and Singaporean fans.
While the online comments were divided, some fans expressed their excitement for his upcoming concert in Malaysia on the 24th of this weekend.
