Ed Sheeran Rejected A Fortnite Collab

Musician and Game of Thrones actor Ed Sheeran has revealed that he rejected a Fortnite collab, saying he doesn't play the game and didn't want to lend his name to something he doesn't care about. Instead, Sheeran worked with The Pokemon Company on a Pokemon song because he loves Pokemon.

"[My record label] asked me to do something for Fortnite. I was like, 'I don't play Fortnite.' I feel like whenever you see my face near any product, I want it to be something I actually do," he told Jackson Warne recently (via ShiinaBR).

"It has to be real. So when my record company was like, 'We can put you in Fortnite, I was like, 'I don't really want to do that.' But, I do play Pokemon. We contacted Pokemon and that's why we did the song. I love Pokemon."
