‘I’m not an angel’ – Aitch addresses backlash to explicit new song Landslide and X-rated music video
Well it's definitely got people talking...
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?

Role Model adds Manchester arena show to world tour after huge demand
Daisy Jackson
Platinum-certified singer-songwriter Role Model has just added a huge Manchester gig to his upcoming world tour.
The star – real name Tucker Pillsbury – had previously only added one single UK date to his Chuck on Tour tour, and that was down in London.
But now Role Model is officially heading north, announcing a massive gig at the AO Arena in Manchester.
The news follows a sold-out run of dates last year, which brought him to the (much smaller) O2 Apollo here.
His star really rose after the release and viral success of his 2025 single, ‘Sally, When the Wine Runs Out’.
And now with a third studio album to his name – Chuck Timely & The Hourglass – Role Model is ready to return to Manchester and London on his 2026-2027 global tour.
The tour will travel across North America before heading overseas, with dates across Europe early next year.
Keni Titus will support Role Model at all dates on the UK and European leg of the Chuck on Tour tour.
Role Model will perform at the AO Arena in Manchester on Sunday 28 February, with pre-sales available on 4 and 5 November before general release tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday 6 November – grab yours HERE.

Pop icons S Club announce new arena tour, with huge Manchester gig
Daisy Jackson
S Club will be heading back to Manchester on a newly-announced 13-date arena tour next year.
The pop icons have announced the Ain’t No Party Like A S Club Party tour, which will see Bradley, Jo, Jon, Rachel and Tina back on stage for the ultimate pop party.
The huge tour includes a night at the AO Arena in Manchester, as well as two gigs at the O2 in London.
S Club are one of Britain’s most successful pop groups, formerly known as S Club 7, who went on to become a cultural phenomenon with their own TV series – one of which, L.A. 7, remains the highest-rated programme of all time on CBBC.
Their smash hits include Reach, Don’t Stop Movin, Bring It All Back, Never Had A Dream Come True, and S Club Party.
In 2023, S Club celebrated their 25th anniversary with a sellout UK and US tour, shortly after the tragic death of former member Paul Cattermole.
Now, five of the original seven are ready to bring the party back to Manchester, as S Club return to the stage.
They’ll have very special guests supporting on the tour too, announcing Boyzlife, the supergroup made up of the former Boyzone and Westlife members Keith Duffy and Brian McFadden.
S Club say: “We can’t wait to get back out on tour, see you all and celebrate the songs, memories and moments we’ve shared together over the years.
“It’s going to be one BIG party, and we want you all to be part of it!”
S Club will play the AO Arena in Manchester on Saturday 9 October 2027.
Tickets for all shows go on sale at 9.30am on Friday 6 November HERE.
