You can be one of the biggest singing stars and feel… somewhat isolated in your industry.

This is the case of Ed Sheeran, who, despite his success with the public, always felt excluded from the world of pop.

The interpreter of

Shape of You

has indeed confided that his peers were avoiding him rather.

“I never felt accepted by my scene.

I'm pretty accepted by the rap and grime scenes, but I'm not accepted by my genre.

My peers, for the most part, I can sense in the pop scene, often don't want me to succeed… ”he told the

Breakfast Club

.

The star also indicates that since the release of his new album,

 (or

Equals

), at the end of October, the only singers to have contacted him to congratulate him are the British rapper Dave and the grime artist Stormzy.

The weight of success

Ed Sheeran feels so ostracized that he feels like Phil Collins in the 1980s and 1990s, when his music was loved more by hip-hop artists than pop stars.

“The reason I make the analogy with Phil Collins is that he's part of the pop world and he was considered not very cool in the 1980s and 1990s, but the hip-hop scene loved Phil. Collins, ”he added.

Anyway, the new opus of the British star is already a hit.

Ed Sheeran, who recently confided his joy at having been able to release his album before that of his compatriot Adele, has indeed signed with
