Professor Green reveals James Arthur has been cut from his album
Professor Green has revealed that he had to cut James Arthur from his album due to controversies surrounding the X Factor winner.
The Read All About It rapper told Digital Spy that while James Arthur was meant to feature on his new album, he had to be cut after his label decided Arthur had upset too many people.
Professor Green explained: "James Arthur was on that record. But then he just kind of imploded, didn't he? It's a shame, when I met him he was a cool guy but he just upset so many people. The label was just like, 'It's not happening', and I can't fight the people who I need to support me."

He added: "When I met him, I thought he was a nice guy, so hopefully he can just bring some of that back and get people to focus on the music and maybe he can too, rather than getting concealed by all the bulls**t."
James famously came under scrutiny for including homophobic lyrics during a rap battle with Micky Worthless.
He has also been dropped from Simon Cowell’s record label Syco, following a dispute over song choice.
