A “fuming” Aston Merrygold didn’t hold back as he hit out at a former record label.
The singer – who shot to fame as a member of boyband JLS – released his debut solo single Get Stupid back in 2015.
And this week, the song, that reached the top 10 in the Australian charts and also number 28 in the UK charts, turns 10.
However, Aston has now hit out at his former record label Warner UK as they have reportedly continued to attempt to block the song – despite him allegedly owning the master recording.

“To this very day @warnermusicuk @warnermusic you continue to try block this [explicit] even tho I own the master? This [bleep] is CRAZY!” Aston declared.
Aston went on: “From conception people really been trying to stop this train… at first I was fuming as the chip on the shoulder was heavy.”
