Jade has sparked a frenzy of conversation among fans with a blunt comment about Charlie Puth.
The 32-year-old former Little Mix singer is enjoying chart success as a solo artist and has been out promoting her music.
But while fielding quick-fire questions on KISS FM’s Say It Or Shot It, the Angel of My Dreams singer unexpectedly took a swipe at Puth, 33.
Asked if there were any artists she would refuse to work with, the singer cuttingly remarked, ‘I feel like the fans already know someone I wouldn’t collaborate with: Charlie Puth.’
When asked to elaborate, the singer opted to remain relatively silent, adding, ‘Just don’t… Nothing to say, just yet, on that one.’
Jade and Puth have collaborated in the past, with the American singer joining Little Mix on their 2016 single Oops.
Fans have long claimed that tension was visible between the pair when they performed a song live alongside fellow Little Mix stars Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Perrie Edwards.
There was speculation that Puth had declared romantic feelings for Jade despite the fact that she was already in a relationship at the time with musician Jed Elliott, the bassist for the band The Struts.
Fans have once again taken to social media in light of Jade’s new comments, fueling further speculation about the apparent feud between her and the five-time Grammy-nominated star.
‘The way she didn’t hesitate for a second😭😭 the beef is ALIVE and well,’ Domiii wrote on X.
Elmalquerer stan said they wanted to be ‘as honest as her some day’, while Violinzviolinz joked ‘the girls are fighting again.’
‘Not Charlie catching a stray 💀,’ Lonelyfirely wrote on X, adding: ‘The silence after she said it was louder than words 😶.’
‘If charlie has zero haters jade is dead 😭👋🏽,’ username991213 wrote.
Others thought it may be time for the popstars to squash the beef, with EmilyTaha writing: ‘I love her but she needs to let it down already it has been years it is not that deep.’
Back in 2017, We Don’t Talk Anymore hitmaker Puth admitted to previously having a crush on Jade.
‘Me and Jade had a bit of a look on X Factor. She’s in a relationship I found out that night,’ he said on the Bizarre Life podcast.
‘I was on stage singing with them and was like, “Oh jade, she’s so sexy.” She’s so lovely, [but] well she’s taken. I will say she’s taken and I’m glad she’s happy.’
