He just had crappy "friends". It's not the magazine's fault. I'm sure anyone that cared could have figured it out.

Both, since it seems like they didn't act like douches until they found out the number.

I would't necessarily say they were all crappy given the information. It seems the sheer volume of people reaching out just overwhelmed him. Kinda sad,

He's a pop singer. Here's one of his more known songs:
I don't listen to much pop music, but I do like Taylor Swift radio on iHeart Radio so I tend to hear his stuff there.

The article just gave him an opportunity to learn the character of people he considered his friends. They were already what they were; Forbes had nothing to do with that.
In any event, he claims not to care what other people think, so what is he complaining about?
Also, Mr. Dictionary seems to have deserted him. Perhaps his limited vocabulary and poor communication skills have something to do with the quality of the people he selects as "friends."
I only sort of know who he is, and I've never heard any of his music. I'm going to bring my lawn chair and some snacks and sit next to the rock because I think it's probably getting pretty crowded under the rock. Also, I'm claustrophobic. Also, there are bugs. |

Or maybe Hallelujah (either the version performed Leonard Cohen himself or the one performed by K.D. Lang--can't decide which I like best). It is perfectly possible never to have heard what someone else considers the BEST song ever simply by preferring a different genre and avoiding music that brings no joy. We each get to choose what seems best to us (but some people are just wrong). |

I have no idea who Ed is either - not a big pop culture fan.
That said... he looks like a millennial which in my limited world makes me think that when he is using the word 'friend' it seems to mean anybody near them on the street or anyone who talks to them. Or to put it another way any one of the thousands of people who friended him on facebook or maybe twitter or some other social media thing.
I'm sure some of his actual friends and family may have asked for money/gifts. I'm sure it was his thousands of "social network" friends asking him for money that caused him to shut off his phone.
Anyone who comes into money (and who doesn't or cannot) hide the fact is subject to requests for money from people they may barely know.

Maybe I'll go check all my accumulated lottery tickets and see if there's one big enough to ruin my friendships.

OK folks, I think I will be leasing a castle in Ireland for those of us that are used to living under the rock. It will have all the modern amenities you can ask for.  Details to follow 
ETA: I also expect everyone to know who this dude singing is because there will be a pop quiz before you are allowed to enter the hallowed halls

Among the single, hopelessly romantic, younger crowd, he is the most popular ginger on the planet at the moment.

But thanks to this tread I have learned a lot about him and his music. Funny thing is, I listened to one song and I had heard it before. Just didn't know who sang it. Hey, it happens sometimes - or I forgot who sung it which is more likely the case. Gray hair does that to you sometimes  |

He is the most streamed artist so far. He is also the top artist on the UK Billboard charts for over 2 months now.
