Not all the celebs are white that highlight issues in Africa, I can't help but think it's counterproductive, for genuinely involved people like Ed Sheeran to reduce him to his skin colour to prohibit him from contributing his money and efforts is unfair and effectively prejudiced.

The UK is predominantly a white country, there will be white people donating, what's wrong with white people promoting the cause? :/

In the name of inclusion and integration this is a bad call, worse it's regressive. The image of the colonialist white saviour was nothing like Ed Sheeran... surely that's apparent?

It's not really about the literal colour of his skin in my opinion; these videos and propaganda are just as much of a problem when it's black "rich western celebs" sitting wringing their hands.

It's still highlighting the issue though isn't it and bringing it to a wider audience, as I said what's the alternative, if it's a corrupt government failing their citizens how do you convey that to a wider audience... how does it help those people survive now?
