The actual songwriter’s list on his Number 1 track has now expanded to incorporate Kandi Burruss and Small Harris as co-writers
ED Sheeran has tweaked the actual credit list to their number one song Shape of You days after online followers suggested some lines have been copied from TLC’s Absolutely no Scrubs.
The flame-haired celebrity has added both Kandi Burruss and Tameka Cottle — who penned the Ur N B track — as co-writers alongside the actual song’s producer Kevin Briggs on American copyright web site ASCAP.
This has given the hefty boost to the credit, as on the initial real estate for the song on brand new album Divide, only Erectile dysfunction and Snow Patrol’s Ashley McDaid featured.
