Spotted on Daily Mail:
X Factor winner James Arthur has reportedly been sacked by Simon Cowell’s record company Syco following a new song in which he appears to glamourise terrorism.
After recording just one album for the label, 26-year-old James has now been dropped with the shocking new track apparently the final straw that led to music mogul Simon’s decision, according to reports.
The new song, Follow The Leader, features lyrics in which James raps ‘I’m gonna blow up your family like I’m a terrorist’.
A music source told The Sun on Sunday’s Dan Wootton that it appears that James might be self-destructing.
‘He has done himself no favours with his outbursts,’ the source revealed. ‘It’s as if he’s almost willing Syco to drop him.
‘Simon and Syco have been extremely loyal to Jams throughout his problems but there’s only so much they are prepared to put up with.
‘It feels like the end of the road for him at Syco – James has been his own worst enemy.’
James tweeted that his songs was actually from the point of view of a mad fan and that he wanted everyone to hear it in context, but it appears that he may have just gone a little too far with the terrorist references.
