Aitch has spoken out about his newest song ‘Landslide’ after its explicit lyrics and music video were labelled ‘disgusting’.
The Moston-born rapper released his new single yesterday, with an X-rated music video filled with scantily-clad women dancing around him and collaborator Nafe Smallz.
Landslide’s lyrics include lines like: “Shorty said she on her period, I might put it all in her backside.”
During another verse, Aitch says: “Shе s*cked me off and then filmed it, b*tch done it all for the clout.”
Teasing the track earlier this week, the 23-year-old star wrote: “When you and broski are finally single at the same time” and added an 18+ emoji warning.

Aitch, real name Harrison Armstrong, has achieved huge success since bursting onto the scene and has inspired thousands of young people.
He’s collaborated with massive names including Ed Sheeran, Ashanti and AJ Tracey and his debut album Close to Home narrowly missed out on topping the UK album chart.

But since releasing the controversial new tune the young musician has faced hundreds of comments from fans criticising his new song.
One person wrote: “WTF has he done here. “if she’s on her period il shove it in her arse”!!! His main fan base are young teenagers, f***ing disgusting. I thought all these sort of videos died years ago, completely lacks any originality or talent.”
Another said: “I thought we moved past these kind of music videos…”

Someone else commented: “Close to home was but this isn’t it. It feels like the boring but standard objectification of women, all jiggling asses and flicking notes coz we all know you’re rich.
“I hate some of the lyrics-how you talk about women in this is grim, honestly. Close to home felt original but this feels the exact opposite. You can’t win’em all but hoping this is just a blip.”
Aitch later addressed the backlash on his Instagram stories, writing: “Sorry for my language… but I’m a rapper at the end of the day. Everyone ease up a bit I’m not always an angel.”
Hey, if the aim was the ruffle some feathers and get people talking, Aitch has knocked it out of the park once again — what have you made of Landslide and that video?

A pop-up pub dedicated to Pulp, complete with a jukebox programmed by Jarvis Cocker himself, is coming to Manchester this week.
The temporary boozer coincides with the legendary band’s upcoming sold-out gig at Wythenshawe Park, where they’ll play to a 30,000-strong crowd.
To celebrate their return to Manchester, Pulp will be taking over the Rat & Pigeon in the Northern Quarter for three days.
As well as the Jarvis-programmed jukebox, fans of the band will be able to join a series of events, grab some limited-edition merch, and take part in competitions curated by the band.
The Rat & Pigeon – temporarily rebranded to The Pulp Pop-Up Pub – will be completely decked out in rare Pulp paraphernalia borrowed from the band’s archive.
A special, limited edition Wythenshawe Park t-shirt will be sold exclusively at the Rat & Pigeon while stocks last.
Fans will also be in with a chance of winning test pressings of Live!, an album document of the band’s 2025 show at The O2 in London.
There will also be a number of giveaways at Piccadilly Records across the weekend.
Pulp will perform at Live From Wythenshawe Park on Friday 28 August, one of five huge artists performing at the venue this summer.
Also playing this weekend will be Courteeners, and The Prodigy, with Lewis Capaldi and The Cure having already performed their huge shows at the venue.
The Pulp Pop-Up Pub will be open at the Rat & Pigeon between 12pm and 7pm on Friday 28, 12pm until late on Saturday 29, and 12pm until 2pm on Sunday 30 August.

Tame Impala announces another HUGE Manchester gig after chart-topping success
Emily Sergeant
Tame Impala has announced another UK and EU tour in 2027 to celebrate recent chart-topping success.
Following sold-out runs across the globe in 2025 and 2026 – including here in Manchester – and currently in the midst of a North American arena tour, Tame Impala has announced a new run of dates for next year – with a mix of headline and festival appearances.
The announcement arrives as Kevin Parker – better known by his project name, Tame Impala – continues an extraordinary run with his latest studio album Deadbeat, released last year.
On Deadbeat, Parker aimed to sculpt a collection of ‘wickedly potent’ club-psych explorations as a vehicle for some of his most direct, ear-wormy songwriting to date.

After recently being featured in the new Marvel film, Spiderman: Brand New Day, the lead single from the album, ‘Loser’, has just hit number one on the Global Spotify chart.
Not only that, but the remix of the hit song ‘Dracula’, featuring JENNIE, also remains in the top 10 on various global charts, and the original version has also nominated for Best Alternative at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards.
Critics described this most recent run of gigs as ‘one of the best live shows of the year’, so it only makes sense that he’d be back for more.
Kicking off on 28 May 2027 in here in Manchester, Tame Impala will be taking to the Co-op Live stage once again, before heading down to the capital for two nights at The O2 on 1 and 2 June, and then popping over to Paris, Rotterdam, and Cologne to.
Wet Leg will open all headlining dates next year, including here in Manchester.
Tickets go on sale this week, with Co-op Member Presale kicking off at 9am on Wednesday (26 August), followed by General Sale also at 9am on Friday (28 August).
