Did Miley Cyrus call Ed Sheeran an "a--hole" at the MTV VMas?

Better yet, does it even matter? The 21-year-old pop star has yet to comment on her alleged dis, while Sheeran shared his side of the story during a KIIS-FM radio interview with Ryan Seacrest Wednesday. The singer-songwriter had previously called her twerking "a stripper move," fueling the feud rumors.

"Well, I don't know why people were expecting [a high-five]. I've never met her," Sheeran, 23, said ahead of his performance at the Staples Center in L.A. "There was a high-five between me and [Scooter Braun] because I know him, and that was the only high-five. I don't know what people we're expecting."

As a songwriter, Sheeran has worked with a number of A-list artists, ranging from One Direction to Taylor Swift. Despite their different styles, he wouldn't rule out making music with Cyrus in the future.

"I think she's a fantastic artist," he said. "She's got a great voice and writes great songs."
