LAS VEGAS- Ed Sheeran may not have been targeted in the latest celebrity photo hack, but he knows what it feels like and it’s straight up “creepy.”
The “Don’t” singer was on hand at the iHeart Radio Music Festival in Las Vegas on Saturday, and defended those caught in the flurry of these scandals, because he at one point, was hacked as well.
“I think live and let live. I think people should be allowed to do what they want and it’s weird,” he said. “I’ve had my stuff hacked before and its just creepy.”
Nude pictures of Kim Kardashian, Vanessa Hudgens and more were posted on Reddit on Saturday, which follows the massive photo leaks that occurred earlier this month. This invasion of privacy has put some celebrities on guard, and in Ed’s case, it’s really weirded him out.
“I think invasion of privacy on that level is weird and sharing the photos is weird as well,” Ed said, “Because it’s different when it’s like a photo shoot for a magazine because it’s meant for the public if it’s an intimate thing and it’s meant for your partner so all of that stuff creeps me out the fact that everything is up in a cloud you can read it anytime, drunk text messages, videos you might send…”
And speaking of videos, Ed then decided to kind of hack himself, pulling out his phone to show us a “really weird video” of himself, at the age of 17, jamming out to Soulja Boy’s “Pretty Boy Swag.” Watch the video and be prepared to be wowed.
