In a move that has both fans and gamers buzzing, global pop sensation Ed Sheeran recently took his love for Pokémon to new heights—literally. While on tour, the “Shape of You” singer showcased his nerdy side by playing the iconic video game on the largest screen he could find in a stadium. This unexpected display of fandom was revealed in a video posted to his social media, where Sheeran humorously remarked, “If I wasn’t a musician, I’d be a virgin.”
The massive screen, typically reserved for concert visuals and sports highlights, became the canvas for Sheeran’s gaming session, leaving fans both amused and impressed. The playful video quickly garnered attention online, further cementing Sheeran’s reputation as a relatable and down-to-earth celebrity who isn’t afraid to embrace his inner geek.
Sheeran’s personal life has also been a topic of interest over the years. His first high-profile relationship was with Scottish singer Nina Nesbitt in 2012, inspiring his songs “Nina” and “Photograph.” After a brief relationship with Athina Andrelos, who inspired the hit “Thinking Out Loud,” Sheeran began dating his childhood friend Cherry Seaborn in 2015. The couple announced their engagement in 2018 and married the following year. They now share two daughters, with Sheeran’s song “Perfect” being a tribute to their love story.
In unrelated entertainment news, Nigerian actress Tonto Dikeh has recently found herself at the center of controversy. A viral video captured Dikeh in a physical altercation with a car dealer in Abuja over an alleged N2 million debt. The incident, which was widely shared on social media by critic Vincent Martins Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, has drawn significant public attention and criticism.
Politician and socialite Opeyemi Falegan, who previously dated actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday, weighed in on the drama via Instagram. Falegan criticized Dikeh for her behavior, mocking her decision to purchase a car on a hire-purchase agreement and for the ensuing confrontation with the dealer. He also took the opportunity to address Dikeh’s past comments about her ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill, accusing her of trying to tarnish his reputation.
