In a recent podcast appearance, he felt the need to provide more context for previous remarks he had made about Adele, having called the singer “f***ing awful” and her songs “offensive” back in July.

Leigh-Anne Pinnock is opening up about dropping her first solo single “Don’t Say Love” after being a member of Little Mix for over a decade.
Pinnock chatted to Et Canada’s Carlos Bustamante about being a perfectionist and whether she sees that as more of a gift or a curse.
The musician shared, “A bit of both, to be honest. Like, it’s actually quite annoying sometimes because to me… it might not seem good enough, but then somebody else is like, ‘What are you talking about? This is great.’
“I sometimes feel like I can get in my head. And I think that’s quite natural… I don’t know. It’s such a journey for me. Like I’ve… when I was in the group, I lost so much confidence. And I had this feeling of like, I felt overlooked and undervalued for a very long time.

Jesy Nelson ‘disgusted’ by media coverage of her latest remarks about ‘ongoing feud’ with Little Mix
Jesy Nelson has expressed outrage over the media’s focus on her “ongoing feud” with Little Mix rather than her new single.
In a recent interview to promote her latest song, “Bad Thing”, the 31-year-old English singer revealed she hadn’t spoken to her former Little Mix bandmates in over two years.
Since the article’s publishment on Monday (17 April) by The Sun, several outlets have picked up Nelson’s comments on Little Mix.
The following day, the singer addressed the situation in a video posted to her Instagram Stories, angrily saying she had woken up “to about twenty-f***ing-five articles about me and the fact that I haven’t spoken to Little Mix in two years, and the ‘ongoing feud’”.
“It’s just f***ing bulls***. I just feel like women just get pitted against each other 24/7 in music, and I hate it. I think it’s disgusting,” Nelson said.

It's been just over two years since Jesy Nelson made the decision to leave Little Mix in order to focus on her mental health. Despite the girl band selling over 60 million records worldwide and dominating the charts with hits like "Shout Out to my Ex" and "Black Magic," the foursome became three in December 2020. And Nelson has explained in a new interview with The Sun that she hasn't spoken to her former bandmates Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock ever since.
"I will say this always, your mental health is the most important thing. You only live once so sometimes you have to stop and look after yourself. I needed support and help to overcome that, and there wasn't the time while I was in the band," she says. "I don't have regrets because I had to do what was right for me and I will always cherish the...

Nicki Minaj has lashed out at YouTube after it issued an age restriction on her latest music video upload of “Likkle Miss Remix”, featuring Skeng.
On Monday (26 September), in a since-deleted Instagram post, the “Super Bass” star shared a screenshot of a letter from the platform informing her that her video “may not be suitable for viewers under the age of 18” per its community guidelines, and had subsequently been age-restricted.
“Imagine this. They restricted my f***ing video but have things a million f***ing times worse on their Bogus F***Ing Platform,” Minaj wrote in the caption.
“This is what they do to keep you from winning while doing ads for other people and posting Fake Fkng Stats. Because the same people who run YouTube are in bed with a certain record label and management company.”
The video includes a group of people twerking and dancing around Skeng and Minaj while they sing.

Little Mix have released new track “Not a Pop Song.” The single will appear on their sixth studio album, Confetti, which arrives on November 6th.
On the guitar-led track, the UK group — Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirlwall — address battling “unrealistic expectations” and superficial standards in the pop world that they liken to being a “puppet on a string.” It appears to take a swipe at Simon Cowell and his Syco Music label, which they left in 2018 (“I don’t do what Simon says” is one of...

Between their angelic, insanely talented voices and their endless array of bops, Little Mix have consistently stayed at the top of our weekly music rotations with every single song they release. With their currently untitled sixth studio album on the way (which will be released at some point in 2020), there are countless songs and lyrics for Mixers to obsess over. As a YouTube commenter eloquently shared on their latest video: "Little Mix deserve the world, but the world doesn't deserve Little Mix." Truer words have never been spoken.
So in celebration of their new music - including "Holiday," the second single recently debuted from their upcoming album - we put three of the girls to the test to see how well they remember some of their most iconic lyrics. We had Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Jade Thirlwall quiz each other on their songs, including everything from "Shout Out to...

Soccer Aid for Unicef 2020 has, thanks to the generosity of ITV viewers, raised a record £11,552,577 – the most the match has ever raised in the history of the show, which was broadcast exclusively live on ITV and Stv.
For the first time in the match’s history, donations were matched by both the UK government and Gavi, The Vaccine Alliance, meaning every £1 donated becomes £3 – up to £3 million – until Tuesday 6th October 2020.
This year’s teams of celebrities and former professional footballers played for ‘Generation Covid’, and the money raised will help Unicef stop the spread of coronavirus and limit the impact on children’s lives around the world.
The match, which was played behind-closed-doors at Manchester United Fc’s Old Trafford, ended 1-1 and so went to penalties. The game marked a return to the North West following last year’s game at Chelsea Fc’s Stamford Bridge.

Simon Cowell is preparing a new version of The X Factor featuring bands to rival a BBC format starring British pop stars Little Mix.
The music impresario is set to launch The X Factor: The Band, a spin-off of the long-running ITV series that will aim to search for all-male and all-female groups. The series will be produced by Fremantle’s Talkback and will air later this year, replacing a proposed “all-star” spin-off of The X Factor that was set to feature previous winners.
The series, which launches in December, comes ahead of the BBC’s Little Mix: The Search, which is set to air early next year. The seven-part series will star Little Mix, which includes Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, to create bands and becoming mentors to a new wave of talent.

Little Mix is making a new talent show for the BBC. The group has enjoyed international success since winning Simon Cowell-fronted “The X Factor” in 2011. That show is a staple of ITV’s weekend primetime schedule, but the band is now headed to the BBC for its own series, provisionally titled “Little Mix – The Search.”
The BBC declined to comment, but Variety has confirmed that the project, first reported by tabloid The Sun, is underway. The British pubcaster has been searching for a new Saturday night format. Its long-running “Strictly Come Dancing” remains popular, but several efforts to launch new shiny-floor hits have foundered.
Little Mix’s Jesy Nelson recently made a one-off documentary for the BBC, “Jesy Nelson: Odd One Out,” in which she opened up about abuse she has suffered at the hands of cyberbullies.
