Grime stars brand Kem Cetinay and Chris Hughes ‘a bunch of d***heads’ and ‘culture vultures’ after stealing Lethal Bizzle’s catchphrase for number one hit Little Bit Leave It
KEM Cetinay and Chris Hughes were branded “d***heads” and “culture vultures” by grime stars during the GRM Daily Rated Awards.
DJ MistaJam called out the Love Island stars after they were accused of stealing Lethal Bizzle's catchphrase for their number one hit Little Bit Leave It.
Presenting the musician with the GRM Legacy Award, the DJ slammed the duo and opened up about how hard it had been for Grime stars to be accepted in mainstream music culture.
Speaking about Letha Bizzle, he said: “Even though we are celebrating his legacy tonight, he’s still as relevant today as he always has been.
“He runs his own record label and kept a certain couple of culture vultures and put them in their place. Leave it Chris and Kem, you bunch of d***heads.’”
Lethal Bizzle has previously called Chris and Kem out for using his “little bit leave it” catchphrase as the title of their debut song.
Speaking on Instagram, he said: “Kemp and Ross came to their senses and we've agreed to a percentage of the Little Bit Leave It song there so no more issues.
“So you lot, go out there and support the ting cos now I'm getting paid for it.
I'm going to make sure my cheque is healthy so support it, it's out now and all that good stuff.”
The 33-year-old grime legend - who has been associated with the famous line "leave it" after he dropped his single Leave It Yeah in 2011 – was furious with the reality duo after they weaved his catchphrase into their track without crediting him.
LITTLE BIT DONE IN Chris and Kem say they've been forced to PIE THIS OFF since Love Island
Lethal Bizzle - whose real name is Maxwell Owusu Ansah - had released a video on Twitter expressing how annoyed he was over the rap.
He said: “You couldn't leave me alone init. Kemp and his other brother - I dunno what his name is - Ross, you took my phrase fam. Cool, I want everyone to use my phrase.
“Everyone knows I make up words but when you want to go and do a song and make money from them then I have a problem with that.”
