FACT CHECK
DigitEYE India decided to fact check this claim and discovered that it is false. Ed Sheeran has not released such a song nor shared anything about it on his Spotify, Youtube or Instagram pages.
We first conducted a keyword search with the phrase “Ed Sheeran Charlie Kirk tribute” to learn about the claim. This fake video stems from YouTube channel “AI Modiveza,” which includes a disclaimer stating the content is synthetically generated. View the archived fake video here:
As of 16 September, 2025, the channel “AI Modiveza,” and the video in question has been taken down by Youtube. A report published by Geo TV has confirmed that the video was originally posted by AI Modiveza and was titled “Adele & Ed Sheeran – Rest in Peace, Charlie Kirk (Emotional Tribute Song).” View this section from the report below:
We then searched Ed Sheeran’s Spotify page, Youtube channel and Instagram page for the song. None of his social media handles featured such a song or contain any mentions of Kirk, tributes or related songs. View a screenshot from his spotify page below:
There were other verified users on X who shared the fake claim. For instance, the post shared by user ‘tosino007’ was flagged by community notes, calling out the false nature of the video. View such posts here and here with screenshots of it below.
Lastly, no credible media outlet reports that Ed Sheeran has released a tribute for Charlie Kirk, and the song was not written by Ed Sheeran but it’s an AI copy of his voice. Thus, the claim is totally false.
