Aston Merrygold in fight against Warner Music over rights to hit song
The singer took to his Instagram Stories to share his frustration, posting a screenshot of a removed video that featured the track, allegedly taken down due to copyright issues.
'To this very day @warnermusicuk @warnermusic you continue to try block this s*** even tho I own the master? This s*** is CRAZY!' he wrote.
'From conception people really been trying to stop this train… I appreciate all the love always from my day ones.. teAM.'
Merrygold said he used to be 'fuming' over the situation, but now treats it with humour, adding that he expects more takedown notices from Warner in future.
The dispute comes just weeks after Merrygold was rushed to hospital.
He shared photos from the back of an ambulance, including one showing him giving a thumbs-up while lying on a stretcher with a drip in his hand.
'It's been an interesting 13 hrs,' he captioned the post, without disclosing what had caused the emergency.
His hospitalisation followed JLS's surprise appearance at Capital's Summertime Ball, where the reunited boyband performed for a crowd of 80,000 at Wembley Stadium.
The performance marked a high point in a busy year for Merrygold and his bandmates (Marvin Humes, JB Gill, and Oritsé Williams) as they gear up for their 2025 The Club Is Alive UK tour, which includes shows in Glasgow and London's O2 Arena.
Merrygold first rose to fame in 2008 on The X Factor, where JLS finished second to Alexandra Burke. More Trending
The group went on to achieve five UK number-one singles and sell millions of records before initially disbanding in 2013.
Since then, Merrygold has appeared on Strictly Come Dancing, The Masked Singer, and recently voiced a character in the upcoming Disney/Pixar film Elio.
While he hasn't shared any legal plans regarding the alleged interference from Warner, his post adds to the ongoing conversation around artist rights and control in the music industry.

Rochelle Humes holidays with Myleene Klass' ex-husband after cheating accusations
Rochelle Humes has been on holiday with Myleene Klass' ex-husband just days after the former Hear'Say singer accused him of cheating on her with another female celebrity. Rochelle Humes has been on holiday with Myleene Klass' ex-husband in the days after she accused him of cheating on her with another female celebrity at her own birthday party. The This Morning presenter, 36, is married to JLS star Marvin Humes and she and her husband enjoyed a getaway with Myleene's ex Graham Quinn and their other friends to ring in their 13th wedding anniversary. Alongside an array of snaps from the trip to Ibiza, she wrote on Instagram: "72 hours in sea, belly laughing, questionable dance moves and spicy margs that tasted better than our decisions. In one snap, Graham can be seen grinning as part of the group of friends." Graham used to manage JLS during their heyday after they placed second on The X Factor in 2008 and went on to enjoy a career with hits such as Beat Again and Everybody In Love. It comes after Cat Deeley found moving back to the UK 'really hard' before split from Patrick Kielty. Former Saturdays singer Rochelle, who has Alaia-Mai, 11, Valentina, eight, as well as four-year-old Blake with Marvin, concluded her post by writing: "Our annual non negotiable child free trip with old friends who remind you who you are. Sore heads all round today but ironically my battery feels recharged! Just what I needed. Happy 13 my love @marvinhumes what a way to celebrate." Myleene recently claimed that she had caught her husband in the act, cheating on her with another famous face, at her own birthday. The Loose Women panellist shared the allegations about her ex-husband's marital mishaps when speaking on Paul Brunson's We Need To Talk podcast. She said: "I walked in on him with a famous person on my birthday on a balcony." She continued to say: "I'm in my house; it's my party. They weren't having sex, but they were unzipping each other. '"It's not what you think." But I'm like, 'It is what I think". It's the first thing they both said." Myleene told the love expert: "I kicked everyone out of the party, including his mum and dad. They went back to Ireland, and his dad said 'He doesn't get it from me.' I remember thinking that was quite a weird thing to say." Myleene later married then bouncer Graham. Out of respect, she has refused to name the woman he was cheating with in order to help protect their reputation. It was hinted that the person in question built a career off having a 'family brand,' although the incident itself took place before they were married. The former Hear'Say singer met her ex back in 2001, when he was working as her bodyguard, and the two went on to have a 12-year-long relationship and have two children together before their dramatic split in 2013. According to her, Graham tried to claim it was an alcohol-fuelled mistake, and despite seeing it as a "pretty big red flag," she went through with their wedding in 2011. The Loose Woman opened up about her struggles watching the 'other woman's' life from afar. She said: "I've made peace with that situation now, but for a long time, it was very difficult to see their life. My life literally just broke apart very, very publicly, and their life—they've managed to continue building a family brand on it."

Rochelle Humes shows her support for Myleene Klass' ex Graham Quinn in beaming holiday snaps after her cheating accusations
Rochelle Humes made sure to show her support for Myleene Klass' ex Graham Quinn as she included him in her Instagram round up on Monday. The former Saturdays singer, 36, took to social media to share an array of snaps from her recent Ibiza holiday to mark her 13th anniversary with husband Marvin. Joined by their nearest and dearest, the star included a snap of her JLS star husband grinning beside Graham, who used to manage the band, and their other pals. Graham found himself back in the public eye last week after his ex Myleene accused him of cheating on her with another celebrity - at her own birthday party. Myleene claimed she walked in on him taking the clothes off an unnamed star who has built a brand on her 'family values'. However Rochelle showed her support for Graham despite the claims. She penned: '72 hours in sea, belly laughing, questionable dance moves and spicy margs that tasted better than our decisions. 'Our annual non negotiable child free trip with old friends who remind you who you are. Sore heads all round today but ironically my battery feels recharged! Just what I needed. 'Happy 13 my love @marvinhumes what a way to celebrate'. The bodyguard, 47, started dating Myleene in 2001, having met when he worked as security guard for her pop group Hear'Say. The couple went on to welcome daughters Ava, 17, and Hero, 14, and tied the knot in 2011 after a decade together - only to separate six months later. And last week Myleene reflected on her relationship with Graham as she recalled walking in on him and a female celebrity taking each other's clothes off on the balcony of her own home. Refusing to name the woman, the Loose Women panelist hinted that the person in question has built a career off a 'family brand' and clarified that it was before they had got married. Speaking on Paul Brunson's We Need To Talk podcast, the mother-of-two said: 'I walked in on him with a famous person on my birthday on a balcony.' She penned: 'Our annual non negotiable child free trip with old friends who remind you who you are' Rochelle wowed in the snaps as she showcased her sensational physique in a red bikini According to the TV presenter, the pair tried to claim that it wasn't what it looked like and she continued: 'I'm in my house, it's my party. They weren't having sex, but they were unzipping each other. 'It's not what you think'. But I'm like, 'It is what I think'. 'It's the first thing they both said. I kicked everyone out of the party, including his mum and dad. They went back to Ireland and his dad said: 'He doesn't get it from me'. 'I remember thinking that was quite a weird thing to say,' she told the love expert. Graham tried to blame the affair on being drunk. Myleene admitted the whole ordeal was a 'pretty big red flag' but still went through with their wedding in October 2011. Turning her thoughts towards the other woman, Myleene said: 'I've made peace with that situation now, but for a long time, it was very difficult to see their life. 'My life literally just broke apart very, very publicly and their life, they've managed to continue building a family brand on it. I have to take some accountability 'Look, you know, first and foremost to my children. My children have asked enough questions and it's never been a case of laying out my stall now. 'It's got to be as and when. But here's the funny thing - school mums, people who just want to gossip, will go to your children before anybody else.'
