Singer Ed Sheeran likes using the social-networking sites to 'stalk' people.
The 23-year-old singer, who has 9.63 million Twitter followers and 1.6 million followers on Instagram, said he enjoys using social media and cannot resist peeking into other people's lives via the site, reported Contactmusic.
"I like going to Instagram and, like, stalking, but I don't like going to Instagram and having everything there. Twitter's the worst because I followed so many people back in the day just to be polite all they do is retweet compliments... It's just all retweets!," he said.
The 'Sing' hitmaker said he only followed his manager to increase his own number of followers.
"I only follow him because you have to follow someone to get followers. I didn't follow anyone and I was stuck on, like, 1.3 million... Then I started following Stuart and it started going up again.
