Disclosure have responded to Azealia Banks' claims that the dance duo were 'rude' about her, and said that they don't care if the rapper leaks the tracks that they worked on together.
Earlier this week, Banks announced that she worked with the 'White Noise' stars in June of this year, but despite denials from the rising dance stars that any music had been completed, Banks now claims the track was dropped from her Broke With Expensive Taste album because they were 'really rude in an interview'. She said she had plans to leak the track.
Now, in a new interview with Australian radio station Triple J, Howard Lawrence said: "I don't give a damn if she leaks it," before jokingly adding: "We're actually terrible, terrible people. Have you seen the interview where we were rude? It was so bad compared to what she said."

Brother Guy Howard continued: We just wrote the first verse and a build-up - there wasn't a chorus - and she kind of took it away. Then she thought we were rude in that interview, but we apologised and everything. It didn't seem to matter that we apologised ... We made the beat on the way there in the car, so I don't give a damn if she uses it. Whatever.
"Maybe when I said [in the interview] that she's 'taken to it quite heavily', it came across as rude - but what I meant was that whenever we've worked with anyone in the past, we just keep it secret. Because if nothing comes of the session, nobody's disappointed. But if you build all the hype before, then you have to deliver an amazing song."
Disclosure's debut album Settle is currently nominated for the Mercury Music Prize, alongside the likes of David Bowie, Rudimental, Foals, James Blake and many more.
