If you happened to be watching The X Factor on Sunday night, you'll be aware that Stormzy was a guest performer while the results of the public vote were being tallied.
The London grime artist performed his new single 'Blinded by Your Grace' with Labrinth joining him on vocals - only the recorded version doesn't feature Labrinth.
In fact, the song was a collaboration with singer MNEK, who only found out that he had been replaced by Labrinth after the fact.
He then took to Twitter to air his grievances...
guys what do you do when youve come back from a date to find out that Labrinth was singing your song on X Factor instead of you? cos rn idk

Stormzy took to Twitter himself to explain the situation, but it appears that wires were crossed somewhere along the line...
Gonna quickly clear up yesterday's situation with @MNEK not performing with me on The X Factor

First and foremost, MNEK is my bro and someone I HIGHLY respect and what he done on the song is unmatched.

We created some special moments when we performed BBYG Pt.2 @ Westfields and on the live lounge and with this campaign I'll be having...

quite a few TV moments where I'll be performing the song and saw this as an opportunity to present it in different ways...

and present it in different formats hence why I invited Lab to join me as a special guest

I spoke to my team a while back and told them to make M and his team aware of the plan because I didn't want any miscommunication

Here's the exact message I sent a while back and this'll probably put it into context pic.twitter.com/FAeRH6ocDo

I'll be performing on The Jonathon Ross show with him and there was never ever ever any sort of malice or disrespect intended
— #GSAP (@Stormzy1) October 30, 2017
and I can fully fully understand why that looks FOUL. Fully understand. I would feel exactly the same so my apologies brother
— #GSAP (@Stormzy1) October 30, 2017
I've spoke to M personally and let him know it's a major communication fuck up on my team's side and I fully understand how things may look
— #GSAP (@Stormzy1) October 30, 2017
and disrespect and slyness is never my angle so sincere apologies to M and his whole team, never any disrespected intended. ðŸ™Â?ðŸÂ?¿âÂ?¤ï¸Â?
