James Arthur has seemingly had his first public dig at The Script in the midst of his lawsuit.
The 30-year-old was hit with a lawsuit from Danny ODonaghue for breaching copyright as The Script frontman claims Say You Wont Let Go is a rip of The Man Who Cant Be Moved.
James used his BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge appearance as an opportunity to hit back at the legal proceedings without saying too much.
He covered Jorja Smiths Blue Light, and added his own verse, saying theyll never see a dime and branded them snakes full of jealousy.
He rapped: Did you see – tho desperate men call for desperate times. But they will never see a single flipping dime of mine.
Im dynamite; every single line I write, inspired by life. You can get your lawyers to indict me. You rich fellows that jealous you would spite me.

He continued: You should know I never follow The Script. I rip it up and I flip it; Im from the gutters of Britain. I went from nothin to millions, my fingers up in the system.
So listen: check to check, check check to count my melody. Im all up in your business like Ron Jeremy. People keep on telling me Im meant for the top.

He then closed his bit with: All the snakes full of jealousy are praying Ill flop. Youll do nothin – except kick on a rock. Ill be so flippin high Ill be riding with Spock. I got money, the cars – everything I ever wanted.
Crikey.
Just before his Live Lounge, the singer broke hearts by telling fans he plans to retire.
Taking to Twitter, he said the next album might be his last.
After this album Im retiring. Love James x
