Little Mix have recalled being asked to flirt with industry insiders in exchange for getting their songs played on radio.
According to The Sun, Jade, 25, rejected the suggestion, and questioned why it was necessary to take that route in order to promote the band’s music.
“We went to a radio event in America, full of VIPs. Someone from the label said, ‘Go and flirt with all those important men’,” she said.
“I was like, ‘F*** off. Why have I got to go in and flirt to get my song on the radio?’
While the suggestion was made by an employee of the record label, the band did not disclose any further details.

There will never be another Stan Lee. For decades he provided both young and old with adventure, escape, comfort, confidence, inspiration, strength, friendship and joy. He exuded love and kindness and will leave an indelible mark on so, so, so many lives. Excelsior!!

Professor Green warns against ‘institutional racism’ when assessing knife crime statistics
In a lengthy Instagram post yesterday, Professor Green countered the idea that the black community are responsible for the vast majority of knife crime in the UK, as implied by some media coverage.
The rapper, who was the victim of a stabbing in 2009, appeared on Good Morning Britain to discuss the topic, and then expanded on it on social media.
There had been a lot of reference to a statistic that it’s largely black youths stabbing each other – what was left out was that this is only true of certain areas, as anyone with a brain can work out, in more densely white populated areas, the face of knife crime is white.
In the post which has been liked more than 16,000 times, the rapper argued:
The fact that the face of knife crime they [the media] project nationally is black youths, as I said this morning implies institutional racism and criminalises a whole race, fitting their agenda to bring back racially profiled stop and search.
He put forth the argument that much of the violence has its source in neglect.
There’s a science to social deprivation, to exclusion, expulsion, lack of paternal role models, lack of any role models, unequal education, unequal opportunity, cuts to all the services that might help people from going down the road to carrying a knife. I believe what we’re seeing is the result of years of neglect.
While the post has been liked in excess of 16,000 times, it has been met with a mixed reaction from the rapper’s followers in the comment section.
