The rapper involved in a recent highly publicised feud with James Arthur has spoken out, saying that he has 'no remorse' and slamming the X Factor winner for 'not being very smart'.
Arthur was the subject of a diss track by rapper Micky Worthless, who recorded a song about the 'Impossible' chart topper, titled 'Stay In Your Lane, James'. The talent show star had recently announced that he was planning to record a rap mixtape.
Arthur then took it upon himself to record a response rap, featuring homophobic and racist attack on Worthless. Ladies and gentlemen - you voted for this man to win the biggest popularity contest in the UK. In the track, Arthur reportedlt raps: "You f***ing queer. Hilarious, precarious you Talibani confused, imbellic mimic of a gimmick."
Now, speaking to NME, Worthless said that they had 'no remorse' for his initial attack, and that he was far more offended by the racist Taliban remark than the homophobic slur.
"Yeah, he called me Taliban. I was like, ‘Come on man, why are you bringing my actual race into it?’ You can tell he’s not very smart because I just don’t know how he thought that could fly," said Worthless.
When asked about Arthur’s response 'Hey Mickey', Worthless said: "It sounded like someone’s first tentative attempt at making hip-hop, which I’m quite sure that it was. Appalling. There was no lyrical content, the beat itself was wack, the hook was wack, the lyrics were childish. I don’t think he knows about bars and beats. It was really cringeworthy. He really, really shouldn’t have done it.”

Arthur subsequently apologised for any offence cause, but Worthless maintains that he's happy with the world's reaction and that he has no regrets: "It’s great! I hate that corny X Factor non-music, it’s just a cash cow for Simon Cowell that tricks people into thinking that what they’re listening to has musical merit. Kids running round thinking James Arthur is something to be into, thinking it’s cool – what fucking planet are you on? I feel no remorse at all.
"I’m sure I haven’t ended his career, X Factor will go on without me, but for the last couple of days, I gave people something to think about."
Following the war of words, Arthur later ended up in a feud with comedian Frankie Boyle - which escalated to the degree where the 'Impossible' singer quit Twitter.
