Ed insists Twitter deactivation had nothing to do with GoT backlash
Ed Sheeran has dismissed claims that his decision to delete and then reactivate his Twitter account was influenced by the negative comments he received following his Game of Thrones cameo.
The singer had tweeted a link to an Instragram photo of himself on set with actress Maisie Williams, with the caption “Throwback to the time I was a Lannister” – but some GoT fans were less than impressed by his performance.
Just hours later, Ed deactivated his Twitter account, leading many fans to believe that he had done so in the wake of the backlash.
However, he has insisted that this was not the case and that "timing was just a coincidence."
On Wednesday he posted a photo of himself and his manager and wrote:
“Last i’ll say on this. I came off Twitter Coz I was always intending to come off Twitter, had nothing to do with what people said about my game of thrones cameo, because I am in game of thrones, why the hell would I worry what people thought about that. It’s clearly f*****’ awesome.”
“Timing was just a coincidence, but believe what you want. Here is an unrelated picture of me and my wonderful manager riding off into the sunset together.”
So, maybe it was a coincidence, maybe it was wasn't.
Either way, we're just glad to have you back Ed.
