Ed Sheeran has spent some time in an imaginary box in Ghana.<\/p>\n

The pop sensation just did a candid Instagram story, talking about his new music, writing process, and Kevin the security guard.<\/p>\n

The most interesting anecdote, we think, concerns his latest album Divide<\/em>, some of which he wrote while in Ghana, West Africa.<\/p>\n

Sheeran says that while out there he sampled a drink called Shocker. Things apparently went a little wrong, and the musician ended up sitting in the corner of a room for six hours, “sort of in a little box”.<\/p>\n

“I went to Ghana in Africa, which was a wonderful country, and they make this drink called Shocker, which is vodka, pineapple juice, coconut juice, and rum, and then they soak an ounce of weed in it, and I didnt know this,” Sheeran reveals to BuzzFeed<\/em> .<\/p>\n

“So, they said, ‘This is Shocker, go easy on it.’ And I was like, ‘Im Irish!’ And then I was just drinking loads of it.<\/p>\n

“And they’re like, ‘No, no, no, no, no!’ And then suddenly I was like, ‘Woooh.’<\/p>\n

“So yeah, that was a crazy, crazy experience because I just ended up being kind of comatose for about six hours, just kind of sitting in a corner. Don’t try it at home.”<\/p>\n

Sheeran tells his fans not to try the drink at home, and says he didn’t get any inspiration as a result of his shocking<\/em> experience.<\/p>\n

He explains: “I was just in a little box just kinda like, when do I get out of this box? I’m not a big a when I was younger I used to dabble, and I just can’t, I can’t do it anymore. ‘<\/p>\n

“It just doesn’t agree with me. So yeah, it really didn’t agree with me then.”<\/p>\n

Ed Sheeran recently had his face accidentally cut by Princess Beatrice. The royal was wielding a ceremonial sword, pretending to knight singer James Blunt at a house party.<\/p>\n
