It’s still unclear, as momentum grows, if James Arthur will or will not appear on the show. It seems thousands of people are still not happy with the singers behaviour over the last few weeks where he made a rap video calling a fellow rapper a ‘fucking queer’.
James apologised for the rap saying, ‘Some of the things said in this rap can be mistaken for homophobic slurs and I assure you homophobia is something I do not believe in’.
However some people have spoken up about there being no mistake in the language choice used.
‘The context was "you're a fucking queer" and went on to say "'you probably want to stick your dick in me" - if that doesn't insinuate homosexuality then what does? There's no mistaking!’, messaged one reader on GayStarNews.
With the performance set for World AIDS Day, some have questioned if this is appropriate as more people seem less impressed with Arthur's apology. The big question still being asked is, will James perform or not?
