Kandi Burruss and Tameka “Tiny” Cottle are finally getting their due credit (and coin) for influencing Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You.”

Sheeran decided to add Burruss and Tiny to the song credits after weeks of social media users noting the similarity between his track and TLC’s 1999 single “No Scrubs,” co-written by the two Xscape members and Kevin “She’kspere” Briggs, who was also given a writing credit.
