Ed Sheeran and Jay-Z Collaborating?

Ed Sheeran revealed to Rolling Stone that he wanted Jay-Z to be on Shape of You.

"I sent him the song, and he said, ‘I don’t think the song needs a rap verse.’”

“He was probably right. He’s got a very, very good ear. He usually gets things right. It was a very natural, respectful pass.”
