Professor Green reaches out to James Arthur and wants to end their nasty feud

Rapper Pro is trying to make amends with the former X Factor star

PROFESSOR Green has reached out to James Arthur and hopes to end their feud once and for all.

The rapper, who once told James’ fans to “f**k off and die” after they kept comparing them as musicians, thinks it’s time they overcame their differences.

Although the pair did work together on a song called Little Secrets in 2014, James’ input was later cut but argued his writing could still be heard on the track.

The pair haven’t spoken properly since and Pro – real name Stephen Manderson – wants to finally put their issues to bed.

He said: “It was just around the time James was going through all his troubles and the label just didn't want him on it.

“No matter how hard I fought for it, they were never going to say yes and have him on the record. For me, if someone has the talent like he does, then why not?

“Why wouldn't I want to work with them? I think me and him need to bump into each other and have a little chat.”

Speaking to The Daily Star, Pro added: “Everything was made into this huge thing.

“But I don't think much of it came from either of us. The best thing would be just to bump into each other.”

After their spat, James told The Sun: “I’ve been extremely understanding with the decision to remove me from the track, given the coverage I received last year when I recorded the
song.

“But to hear my work plagiarised by another vocalist upsets me.”

X Factor star James has yet to respond to Pro’s offer to meet up.
