Ed Sheeran lookalike banned off TikTok for \u2018impersonating\u2019 singer Instagram: ed_experienceA man who looks just like British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran got banned from TikTok for \u201cimpersonating\u201d the star \u2014 despite having many disclaimers that he is not, in fact, Ed. TikTok boasts a surprising catalog of celebrity doppelgangers. For example, take Scarlett Johansson\u2019s lookalike, \u2018Miss Kate,\u2019 who went viral last year for her amazing Black Widow cosplays. Even influencers have their own lookalikes these days, with YouTube star Logan Paul\u2019s dead ringer Rodney Peterson getting into a street brawl with UFC star Nate Diaz in April. Now, another celebrity lookalike is taking over the internet \u2014 and apparently, he looks so much like his famous twin that one of his most prominent social media accounts got banned. Ed Sheeran lookalike banned from TikTok over \u201cimpersonation\u201d 28-year-old influencer Ty Jones looks like the spitting image of British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran\u2026 to the point that TikTok actually banned his account for \u201cimpersonating\u201d the star. Jones took to Instagram to announce the news, sharing a screenshot of his TikTok profile that had been \u201cbanned.\u201d Although Jones appealed the decision to TikTok, he was denied, despite clarifying in his profile that he was not Ed Sheeran and had a totally separate name from Sheeran\u2019s account. \u201cFunnily enough my Tiktok account was banned for \u2018impersonating\u2019 when my name was individual, my lives were titled \u2018I\u2019M NOT ED SHEERAN!\u2019 and my videos consisted of my individual life as a celebrity lookalike, etc.,\u201d he explained. \u201cTiktok just banned me, I appealed and within minutes got a response that it was denied, I genuinely feel discriminated \u2018sheerly\u2019 for the way I look. I\u2019ve contacted Ed Sheeran\u2019s team and they claim to have no involvement in this action taken against me, but the news have a keen interest in my story.\u201d Luckily, his TikTok profile has since been reinstated at the time of writing after reports circulated about his sudden ban. Although Jones wasn\u2019t trying to impersonate Sheeran\u2019s TikTok presence, he does make a living being a celebrity impersonator, with most of his content being humorous parodies of the \u2018Shape of You\u2019 singer. In fact, Jones has gone viral multiple times in the past, with one of his most notable acts being impersonating Sheeran at the KSI vs Logan Paul 2 boxing match back in 2019. Jones is just the latest celebrity doppelganger to go viral on TikTok after Megan Fox\u2019s lookalike revealed the eyebrow-raising requests she receives on her OnlyFans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
