First things first: Ed Sheeran had nothing to do with that colossal continuity error in the final season of Game of Thrones in which someone left a Starbucks coffee cup on set during a feast scene at Winterfell castle.

But in a visit this week to Benny Blanco and Lil Dicky‘s new just-hanging-with-friends not-a-podcast podcast, Friends Keep Secrets, the “Camera” singer did fess up to causing some commotion in the George R.R. Martin extended universe.

“I feel like I definitely ruffled some feathers being on Game of Thrones,” said Sheeran, who had a brief, but much-documented appearance in the 2017 season opener where he played a singing Lannister-loyal soldier that some diehard GoT fans grumbled had taken them out of the moment. Dicky disagreed and credited Sheeran with have the “right vibe” for the scene. “What I said is, ‘People love that show.’ If anyone gets asked to be in that show, it’s an instant yes. I said yes. I enjoyed doing it,” continued Sheeran.

Dicky’s wife and the pod’s third co-host, Kristin Batalucco, noted other famous folks have been on the show, though her husband disagreed, saying that they were not on Sheeran’s global level of fame and ubiquity. They were both right.

Icelandic band Sigur Rós were part of the house band at reviled King Joffrey’s Purple Wedding in season four, rockers Mastodon played wildings and the members of the Night King’s undead army in seasons five and seven, Coldplay drummer Will Champion was a member of the band in the infamously brutal Red Wedding scene in season three and country singer Chris Stapleton played a slain wilding in Season eight’s Battle of Winterfell, among other famous faces in the crowd over eight seasons.

In fact, Sheeran noted that one of those faces, good friend Snow Patrol singer Gary Lightbody — who played a musician traveling with Roose Bolton’s crew in season three, and who is credited with getting Ed the gig — was also among the many famous folks who dropped by the show. “I think at the time I was very omnipresent and just everywhere,” Sheeran admitted about why his presence possibly came off as jarring.

Regardless, Sheeran said he had fun, but he definitely recalled getting a lot of flack for the cameo at the time. “I feel like that happens quite a lot in my career,” Sheeran added of the backlash. “I’ll just get s–t on for things that … a lot of it was in that Divide [album] year. And I think it’s cuz I was omnipresent and just everywhere.”

The rest of the rambling, friendly chat swung from the origin story of how Sheeran and Burd first met, to talk of the singer’s legendary clumsiness — including an epic hoverboard fail at Blanco’s house that resulted in a shattered glass dining room table — as well as the latest addition to Sheeran’s expansive memorabilia collection: the Edward Scissorhands hands.

Both Burd and Blanco lost their minds over the news, yelling, “You did!?,” with Blanco demanding visual proof right away. “That’s the coolest thing I’ve ever heard,” he said, freaking out at the photo of the razor-sharp digits hanging in Sheeran’s house next to Dr. Evil’s suit from Austin Powers.
