Plan B has sent out a stark message to 'purists' who don't like him mixing musical genres.

The rapper turned soul star says that people who only like his first album 'Who Needs Actions When You Got Words?' can “f*ck off.”

Explaining his love of eclecticism in music, the singer – real name Ben Drew – told the Daily Star: “The guys out there now doing their pop rap thing was where I always saw them going.

“N-Dubz and the like are making the music they were always going to make. I can’t diss people for that.

“It doesn’t sicken me unless they speak gibberish in their songs or exploit little kids, trying to get ’em to spend their pocket money on rubbish.

“If you’ve got a small mind, then get out of here. Or if you’re a purist, and only like my first album, you can f*** off too, cos I hate purists.”

The number one star also told the paper that breaking America isn't high up on his priorities.

“As long as this opens doors for me to do the projects I wanna work on then that’s all I care about,” he added. “It’s not an ambition to go to America and be world famous. I’m not hungry for it.

“The only thing I’m focused on is getting recognition and having support to be creative.”
