In the new song, James raps ‘I’m gonna blow up your family like I’m a terrorist’.

James took to Twitter to defend himself stating:

“The song ‘follow the leader’ from the mixtape is not promoting terrorism, it’s a story, a reciting of a Stan Esc letter from a demented fan.”

He then added: “Just for the record.” source

It was only last week that James Arthur likened his being signed to a rewarding album deal to captive SeaWorld whale Tilikum.

We don’t usually hear celebs compare themselves to whales, but whatever floats your boat James. Good luck finding another label!
