The Kunts respond to "sanctimonious sausage munching twat" LadBaby over Christmas number one race

Yesterday (21 December) LadBaby's Mark Hoyle discussed going up against The Kunts' "Boris Johnson Is Still A F*cking C*nt" single for the Christmas number one, reiterating that their fourth consecutive single "Sausage Rolls For Everyone" is "for charity".

Hoyle said, "It takes a certain sort of person to download a song with that in the title, but you never know. There’s definitely an element that people aren’t happy with this government, but our song is for charity - I don’t believe theirs is - and ours is trying to raise more money than ever for food banks. It’s something that is even more important given everything that is going on."

This afternoon The Kunts have responded, calling Hoyle a "sanctimonious sausage munching twat" on Twitter.

Speaking to Clash, lead singer Kunt said of LadBaby (and Ed Sheeran and Elton John's original Christmas song), "Let's be straight about this, it's utter diarrhoea. The original Sheeran and Elton song is the blandest, trope-filled mainstream bilge, with a badly misplaced Easter Egg that we've had a bad year so we should all move on, which I think is deeply insulting to anyone who has lost a family member, friend or loved one in the pandemic. But the LadBaby version is different level shit. I'm sure the whole project started off with good intentions but fuck me, it's awful."

He added, "When you take a step back and look at it, the idea of an act who hawks a single by crying to camera, repeatedly talking about child hunger all the while waving sausage rolls around, then using our collective guilt about being a society that needs foodbanks to leverage a sponsorship deals with a crisp company is like something from Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror."
