James Arthur ‘does a rap’ about Rita Ora. Not a nice rap. Not a complimentary rap.

X Factor winner James Arthur has loaded his ‘rap cannon’ with ‘swag bullets’ and taken aim at very former flame Rita Ora in a really sweary rap he done on BBC Radio 1Xtra’s Fire In The Booth. He’s so angry! He’s so edgy!
“But,” you’re thinking, “James Arthur is not a rapper. He is not a rap doer. He is a nan-pleasing X Factor winner. He sang that one about things being Impossible. Why is he saying things so fast.” Well, here’s why: because it turns out James is planning to release a rap mixtape later this year, so to prove his credentials he went on Charlie Sloth’s late-night Saturday hip hop show and did… a… freestyle? We’re not really sure what the technical term is. Unless James recreates 8 Mile scene-for-scene, we’re not really sure what he’s doing.

“I’m giving ten million [flips] less than Rita does / and that’s a lot of [flipping],” James rapped, while host Charlie Sloth said things like “BLAOW!” and “FAM!” and “JAMES ARTHUR!”. “Yeah, that’s a lot of [flips],” James continued.
“Some people’s Oras and demeanours can deceive us / but what they really want is a piece of your [rhymes with ‘deceive us’].”

James and Rita briefly, briefly dated back in February, before she was seen out with David Beckham’s mate Dave Gardner – then found love with DJ and ‘80s kid Calvin Harris. Talking about the fling recently, James said: “A lot of attractive women are [rhymes with ‘big hedge’].”
James went on to take a shot at all the various kiss-and-tell girls he has been the victim of (three, to date), then something about Iggy Azalea which we’re pretty sure he just put in there because he’d run out of rhymes.

“I am cold, fearless / sticking this thing in Z listers / and I don’t want to aim this venom at a [flipping] hater’s cranium / blow the load of Broken Britain on Iggy Azalea’s crazy area.” WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN, JAMES?
Anyway James took to Twitter after the show to say that actually, those disses about Rita Ora weren’t disses at all, they were just complexly disguised compliments.

Iggy Azalea just about hides her 'crazy area'

 

“Totally bowled over by the positive reaction to my FITB on Twitter yesterday. A big risk for me and mind-blowing to get so much love.
“And for the record it wasn’t a Rita diss! She’s a mate and I meant that I’d like to live my life to the full and give less of a [flip] about everything just like she does! It’s something I really respect.” #LOVE
