Ed Sheeran Credits Eminem For Curing His Stutter

Ed Sheeran has a friendship with the rapper who he says helped cure his stutter when he was a kid — Eminem. When Em was getting inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, he invited Ed to perform with him. It’s the Marshall Mathers LP that Ed Sheeran says cured his stutter. He told Howard Stern,
