‘I posted with my humour and stuff, but it just didn’t get picked up very well, but I didn’t mean any malice by it at all.’

Sam said the post was not intended in a ‘malicious’ way, with the hitmaker explaining they always use social media to express what they are feeling.

They said: ‘You know me, I’m always sharing all of my feelings all the time and trying to be as human as possible but sometimes maybe people can read it wrongly but that wasn’t really meaning it in a malicious or nasty way, I was just trying to be myself.
