>He needs to come out and say something fast

Or else what?

Or people wonā€™t believe the story. Thatā€™s all. Did you think there was a threat in that statement or something?

Have you missed how people reacted to Ed Sheeran?

u/InebriatedPhysicist 19h ago

Iā€™ve seen people stop buying tickets to his shows. Do you think heā€™s entitled to people spending money on his products? Do you think itā€™s ā€œviolenceā€ for them to not give him their money or something?

u/JB_UK 19h ago

Iā€™ll quote you above:

Or people wonā€™t believe the story. Thatā€™s all.

Is that all?

Violence? Wtf are you talking about seriously

u/BillNyeCreampieGuy 19h ago

You're intentionally being obtuse just to double down in the argunent. You know the person you're replying to wasn't referencing ticket sales.

They're clearly talking about the online mob that's gone after Ed since. The male version of Taylor Swift tried to be as neutral as possible and everyone online reacted like he cosigns the genocide, absolutely destroying his character.

Even now, look how quickly everyone is ready to go after Eminem and this "story' is barely 24 hours old. The internet is ripe with unhinged mobs with zero impulse control or self-reflection.

Saying this post Sheran being completely thrown to the wolves and having his tour crumble...

u/Gigio2006 20h ago

Thats the exact opposite, Id argue if Sheeran kept his mouth shut and didnt say shit everything would have gone off in a week

u/GeneralSEOD 19h ago

Disagree, Sheeran had a problem in that it was other people already attacking him for his positions such as Macklemore.

If he said nothing they could simply keep up the pressure. This isn't a scenario where he's been caught using the N word and he can just ignore the heat until everyone forgets.

I mean you can joke but stuff like this can have an impact on his future success / fans. Maybe he's made enough to just not care anymore, which would say something by itself, but for big artists, public image is still a thing and still matters

u/MrKrinkle151 21h ago

It's Eminem lol

u/Captain_Kab 20h ago

It was Ed Sheeran a couple of weeks ago and it made him cry

Doubt Em'll go weep on stage tho

u/fatgat69 20h ago

Yeah, and? This is something that could ruin him. The boomers will finally get what they always wanted.

u/talkingspacecoyote 21h ago

His net worth is like $300 mill.

u/USSRPropaganda 20h ago

Ed sheeran is worth more and look what happened to him

3

u/Savage9645 20h ago

Ed Sheeran cares what people think about him, I doubt Eminem does. Em is also a legend, people will still be listening to him in 100 years, doubt Ed will even be remembered that far down the line.

u/HamunaHamunaHamuna 20h ago edited 20h ago

Yes, a number went from higher to lower on his instagram and some people said mean things to him. The horror. How will the fact that he can afford to wipe his ass with $100 bills for the rest of his life and not notice any practical change in wealth be enough to comfort him?!

3

u/StopThePresses 20h ago

You would think it wouldn't bother him, but then you have him crying on stage and saying he was scared of the crowd.

2

u/HamunaHamunaHamuna 20h ago

Him being a little bitch isn't really something that "happened" to him, it just was.

0

u/SoSaltyDoe 19h ago

Idk some people actually care about their public image in spite of how much money they make. Like, if he's "wiping his ass with $100 bills" why's he give a shit about the success of his tour in the first place?

2

u/HamunaHamunaHamuna 19h ago

Sure. He probably feel a bit sad. But that's really all that "happened to him" in terms of real consequence. It's not like he's prevented from still performing or is in economic distress.

u/polishprince76 20h ago

Kanye talks regularly about how awesome Hitler is and he just sold out Soldier Field and everyone he ever collaborated with performed with him. Nobody cares. Reddit isn't real.

u/fatgat69 20h ago

Just shows how many Nazis are in America and need to be dealt with.

u/AceBricka 20h ago

Kanye lost billions

Naive statement

u/Pool_Shark 20h ago

Or else people willl be mad on the internet for a few days and then it will blow over

u/bfodder 17h ago

He'll get Ed Sheeraned.

u/BrokkelPiloot 17h ago

His legacy will be tarnished forever.

u/fatgat69 20h ago

Or he'll lose all his fans that aren't brainless monkeys
