Ed Sheeran has been accused of being a "clout Chaser " and a "culture vulture" by Wiley .

In a series of tweets, the rapper joked about using a guitar and foot pedal and said: "I'm sick of people using grime to look good for two minutes. "

Wiley 's messages come after Ed and Stormzy unveiled a remix of their song Take Me Back To London.

Stormzy has defended Ed Sheeran , describing The Music star as genuine.

He replied: "No Wiley you know Ed been doing this from early, been a real one from early, can't question that, you know I love you and respect you brother but nah don't do that. "

Wiley accused Ed Sheeran of being a clout Chaser - for hanging around with Certain People to gain popularity.

Wiley and Ed Sheeran have worked together in The Past

Wiley , who is seen as the "Godfather of grime", has worked with Ed himself in The Past on The Track You from Ed's EP No. 5 Collaborations Project in 2011.

But he seems to be unhappy with Ed's latest music.

Using the laughing emoji, Wiley tweeted, "shall I get my guitar and foot pedal out?", referring to Sheeran's live performances where he uses a guitar and foot pedal for his music to play on a loop.

He continued: "Anyone who uses us and our sounds are culture Vultures . . I'm getting my guitar and foot pedal out and I don't wanna hear nobody moaning about nothing. "

Stormzy featured on Ed's remix of The Shape Of You.

They've done it again, This Time for Stormzy's Album - The Remix of Take Me Back To London features grime artists Jaykae and Aitch.

Jaykae also defended Ed, tweeting: "Wiley 's so sour and amped up about Ed making a grime song that he hasn't even clocked I spun his head off in my verse. "

Wiley replied: "Bro you just sit down and bask in the tinie bit of glory you think your getting. You couldn't spin me not on a song with Ed nor on power. "

It's not the First Time Wiley has criticised some grime music being as being "watered down" to achieve chart success.

In 2017 "No-one's had a grime Number One . Any Number One that anyone's had, it's Pop Music . England is built on Pop Music , that's why The Show was called Top of The Pops . It's a strong pop market. "

On Ed's latest Album , No. 6 Collaborations Project, he's worked with the likes of Eminem, 50 Cent , Bruno Mars , Khalid and Dave. The record is currently top of The Charts in the UK.
