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?
Olly Murs cancels Manchester gig after walking off stage six songs into huge arena show
Daisy Jackson
Olly Murs has now officially cancelled his show in Manchester tonight, a day after walking off stage just six songs into a huge arena gig.
The Heart Skips a Beat star had been performing in Glasgow last night when he abruptly stopped the show, apologised to fans, and left the stage.
The gig was cancelled around 30 minutes into his show, which is part of a huge UK arena tour that was meant to be heading to Manchester tonight.
A tearful Olly said that he was seeing a doctor last night and would update fans of the rest of his shows ‘as soon as I know anything’.
It’s now been confirmed that his gig at the AO Arena will not be going ahead.
Olly Murs said in a statement: “30 minutes into my set in Glasgow I lost my voice & unfortunately had to leave the stage midway through the show. This has never happened before and not something I take lightly.
“I’m sorry to all the fans who came out to the show last night and am forever grateful for your support.
“To everyone in Manchester and Birmingham I’m deeply sorry, but am unfortunately going to have to cancel my shows this weekend. I have contracted a respiratory infection and have been instructed to go on a strict 48 hour voice rest by the doctor to ensure no further damage to my vocal cords.
“I have been enjoying this tour so much, and am so sorry to let down my fans – but have to put my health first. I’m hoping to be fighting fit in a few days to finish this amazing 15 year celebratory tour with a bang.”
In a video he shared to Instagram last night, Olly Murs said: “Firstly I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry I had to walk off after six songs and cancel the show. I’ve never done this in 15 years.
“Most of the time as singers you can kind of get through it if your voice isn’t 100% – I walked out tonight thinking my voice was great, I maybe felt a little bit run down but I didn’t think I couldn’t do the show. I wouldn’t have come out there otherwise.
“So to walk off after six songs, as I said, I’m so sorry. As you can probably hear from my voice, I just sounded rubbish and it’s unfair for you guys that spent all that money to come and see me. You deserve the best show and me being at my best, and I’m so sorry from the bottom of my heart.
“Hopefully I can recover from this.
“I’m actually going to see a doctor tonight which is great, so I’ll give you guys an update as soon as I know anything. Obviously I wanna try my absolute best to make these shows possible at the weekend.
“So yeah, so sorry for everyone tonight, apologies from the bottom of my heart. Gutted.”

She was set to perform on the Saturday of the festival, taking place on 14 and 15 June.
But Parklife has now confirmed that Lola Young has dropped out of the lineup owing to a ‘scheduling conflict’.
In a post on Instagram they wrote: “Due to an unavoidable scheduling conflict Lola Young will not be performing at Parklife 2025.
“We would like to apologise for any disappointment.
“Full set times will be published at 5pm Tuesday 20th May on the PL25 App where we will also be announcing some surprise additions to the weekend in the run up to the festival.”
