'X Factor' 2012 winner James Arthur took to Twitter to deny the rumors of being dropped by his record label Syco over lyrics that apparently glamorized terrorism.

The 'X Factor' winner tweeted that as far as he knew he was still with the record label but had exclusively signed to Sony as well and people take the media too seriously and it was only about music, Metro.co.uk reported.

Arthur tweeted that song was a story that recited of a Stan Esc letter from a crazy fan.

Promoting his forthcoming mixtape 'All The World's A Stage,' he added, "Thanks to all that support.
