Here is what the page “Ed Sheeran Hit by Viral Lies: Fact-Checking the False Claims After Macklemore Controversy” contains. Ed Sheeran's controversial US tour has become the target of a wave of viral misinformation, with false claims spreading rapidly on social media.

In this episode of Truth or Fake, Vedika Bahl fact-checks these claims, tracing their origins and debunking them with evidence. The misinformation appears to have been fueled by Sheeran's association with Macklemore, whose recent comments on controversial topics sparked backlash.
