Abz Love sticks the knife into his former 5ive bandmates in new rap song
The singer and rapper has penned a new single about his feelings towards his old friends
ABZ LOVE has stuck the knife into his former 5ive band mates, accusing them of treating him “like a tramp in the park”.
The singer and rapper has penned a new single about his feelings towards Scott Robinson, Richie Neville and Sean Conlon and claims the lads “left him in a ditch” while they “got rich”.
Abz’s track, called Pure 64, reveals why he walked away from 5ive two years ago. It is the first time he has spoken publicly about his decision to quit.
A source said: “There was a lot of jealousy and insecurity from the other lads when Abz did Celebrity Big Brother and then got his own show with the BBC.
“They just didn’t support Abz when he was doing his own thing. They would always support each other, but not him.”
In Pure 64, Abz raps: “You ‘ain’t nothing but a b*tch, left me in a ditch, got me proper stitched, don’t care just wanna get rich.”
Other lyrics include: “You put me in the dark, left me all alone, like a tramp in the park you took all I own.”
Abz, 37, also references fifth member Jason ‘J’ Brown, who refused to reunite with 5ive for ITV’s The Big Reunion in 2013.
He raps: “We had a good thing but we let it get away, ‘cos ain't nobody care about where the f***’s jay?”
RELATED STORIES
London-born Abz announced his sudden departure from 5ive on Twitter, without warning his band mates beforehand, in August 2014.
The insider said his decision to walk away stemmed back to his Celebrity Big Brother appearance the previous year, which saw him crowned runner-up. This was compounded by Abz landing his own BBC Two reality series, Country Strife: Abz On The Farm.
The source added: “Most of the 5ive fans deserted Abz when he left the band on Twitter, because the other lads played the victim and acted as if it was a complete surprise.
“But they had been pushing Abz out for a long time and even had secret meetings with 5ive’s management behind his back.
“The final snub came when Abz invited them to be a part of Country Strife: Abz On The Farm and they declined to be filmed for it. They wouldn't even allow his crew to film them performing at a 5ive gig.
“That was the final straw for Abz and he felt he had no other choice but to leave.”
“Abz kept quiet about his reasons at the time, but he’s now ready to give his side of the story and has even penned a tell-all book.”
Abz now lives on a smallholding in rural Wales with his fiancée Vicky, having turned his back on fame for life as a farmer.
