James Arthur Didn't Slam Rita Ora In Radio Rap
X Factor winner says it "wasn't a diss", adding "she's a mate"...
James Arthurhas denied slamming Rita Ora during a one-off rap performance on radio.
The You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You singer was appearing on Charlie Sloth's BBC Radio 1Xtra's Fire in the Booth when he appeared to diss Ora in a rap.
Lyrics included: "I'm giving 10 million f**ks less than Rita does and that's a lot of f**ks. Yeah, that's a lot of f**ks.
"Some people's auras [Oras] and demeanours can deceive us, but what they really want is a piece of your p***y."
James - who was romantically linked to Rita earlier this year - has since told The Mirror that his rap was not meant as a dig at the R.I.P. star.
He explained to the tabloid: "I was totally bowled over by the positive reaction to my FITB on Twitter yesterday. A big risk for me and mind-blowing to get so much love.
"And for the record it wasn't a Rita diss! She's a mate and I meant that I'd like to live my life to the full and give less of a f**k about everything just like she does! It's something I really respect."
