It all started when one Twitter user's tweet went viral for calling out Ed for daring to perform next to Beyoncé in a top and jeans when she was in a lavish Ashi Studio designed Middle Eastern gown, to represent one of the many different cultures of Africa and a discussion around gender standards was sparked.

She wrote: "Ed Sheeran is a 27-year-old man, the fact we've enabled him to feel it's OK to dress like this at all, let alone next to Beyoncé really boils my p***".
