In mid 2016, Grammy winning Singer and Songwriter Ed Sheeran traveled to Ghana on what people close to him said was seeking him “new-to-him influences for his upcoming music.”

During his stay in the West African country, he stayed with Afrobeats star Fuse ODG, recording new music with the latter and also with R2Bees and rapper E.L.

He’s spoken about his experiences living in Ghana with BBC and other media houses.

Early this week, he released the visuals of his song Shape of You off his recently released album Divide.

The visual finds Sheeran in the boxing gym training, other scenes sees him showing off the tattoo of the Ghana flag on his stomach.
