It would seem that a number of Ed Sheeran fans are disappointed with the superstar’s latest offering ‘Bad Habits’ which also happens to be sitting atop of iTunes chart as of writing.
The problem per report derives from the similarity of theme to The Weeknd’s ‘Blinding Lights’ visuals as fans took to social media to slam the ‘Perfect’ singer.
To be honest, the similarities between the two music videos are somewhat pronounced as fans will draw attention to his clothing choices and overall darker vibe on social media.
See below for some fan reactions.

I think Ed Sheeran must've seen the posts about The Weeknd being the only mainstream male artist who tries to not be bland, so he picked a different kind of suit and different a halloween costume to be "original". 😭 pic.twitter.com/1GAQOpNiSV

Absolutely devastated that I'll be forced to hear Ed Sheeran's bad The Weeknd impression song in every store and on every radio station for the next year
