Marcel Somerville wrote Chris Hughes and Kem Cetinay’s Little Bit Leave It the Love Island villa and is FURIOUS he’s been cut out, hints his girlfriend Gabby Allen
LOVE Island star Gabby Allen has hinted her boyfriend Marcel Somerville is furious about being cut out from the credits on Chris Hughes and Kem Cetinay's single, Little Bit Leave It.
The pair opened up about the drama surrounding the song which has seen Chris and Kem's music career take off.
When asked if there was any issue between the stars because of the track, Gabby told : "It's the whole royalties thing with Lethal Bizzle and their song.
"We all support each other, but Lethal Bizzle is such a massive figure that I think Marcel would probably prefer to be bezzie mates with him!"
She continued: "They did so well from it [the song] and congrats to them. Marcel is a serious producer and he wants to focus on making an actual career out of music, so to do a novelty track would kind of bring him down."
Just weeks before, Marcel appeared to hint he is owed writing credits on Little Bit Leave It.
The Love Island stars saw their debut single soar to the top of the iTunes chart in under 24 hours, but their former islander posted a cryptic tweet reminding the pair about his involvement in the song.
In a tweet that has since been deleted, Marcel wrote: "Boys the tune sounds sick!!! I hope u did the right thing with the chorus & bars I wrote."
Kem and Chris had first created the song in the Love Island villa alongside Marcel as a part of a talent show task.
The trio - who were called Run KMC - worked together on the lyrics while Marcel also created the beat on a keyboard that was provided for them.
Some fans felt Marcel's tweet was a slight swipe at his former islanders as one commented: "Sounds like your hating a little bit leave it".
Marcel tweet came after Chris and Kem thanked fans for helping the song get to number one on the iTunes chart last night after just three hours.
He wrote: "Number #1 in 3 hours HOW HAS THIS HAPPENED! best moment in my life ever!! Support has been crazy."
The duo officially released the single last night after premiering it on their spin-off show, Chris and Kem: Straight Outta Love Island.
The stars were signed to Sony Records after debuting their song Little Bit Leave It at Ministry of Sound on the show.
The best pals, who met on Love Island this year, were signed by bosses after making a success of their first public performance on their show.
The double act has signed with Sony label Relentless Records, a move which will see them on the same books as rapper Professor Green.
Kem and Chris rose to fame on ITV2’s Love Island where they bonded over their love of rap music, which even led to Stomzy making an appearance on the show.
Essex-born Kem, who went on to win the series with girlfriend Amber Davies, has since spoken to the grime star about working together.
Stomzy hinted that they may be collaborating together when asked about his friendship with the Love Island duo at the Mercury Prize Awards.
Kem revealed earlier this year that X Factor champ Louisa Johnson had shown interest in wanting to work together, with Chris saying: “We had a little pinky on it, so you can’t break a pinky can you?”
During the same interview the pair spoke about their promising music career and plans to get writing in the studio.
Kem said: “There’s lots of studio time waiting to happen. Like, we need to actually get to work on doing something. We can’t go into the studio if we ain’t got things ready."
Chris added: “Do you know what; we’ve got our own stuff coming up though.
“We’ve got to write our own stuff and at the moment we’re mincing about with all these big people and just like not doing a lot ourselves.”
