[Freemala Harris]

Ed Sheeran has given the writers behind TLC?s 90s hit ?No Scrubs? a credit on his single ?Shape Of You? after comparisons were made between the two songs.

?Shape Of You?, which features on his new album ???, was originally written for Rihanna. Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint recently delivered a dramatic reading of its lyrics.

Now the BBC reports that ?No Scrubs? writers and former Xscape members Kandi Burruss and Tameka Cottle, plus the song?s producer Kevin Briggs, now appear on US copyright website ASCAP as co-writers of the song. Previously, only Sheeran and co-writers Steve Mac and Snow Patrol?s Johnny McDaid were listed.

Although no reason has been given for the new writing credits, it had previously been pointed out how the two songs sounded similar. NME has reached out to Sheeran?s PR for a comment.

[GLOCK]

I tried and I dont hear it.

Its basically sang in the Lower octave
And the song kicks off the same.. listen to him "a club isn't the best place to find love"
And the melody of the prechorus is the same melody as no scrubs hook
His words "girl u know I want your love" that entire section is the same melody

[MAY]

Not #1 for 7 weeks. I don't see how. This song is so basic and bland.

[GLOCK]

Yeah this is an awful record

White people are snakes

Listen to when he says "a club isn't a place" .. same as "a scrub is a guy that thinks he's fine"

White ass thief
