An X-Factor contestant apologised to his fans following his lacklustre performance on Friday night's elimination episode.
After finding himself in the bottom two, a clearly disappointed Astro - real name Brian Bradley - performed poorly, and was chided by judges Simon Cowell and LA Reid for his "disrespect".
Astro tookto Facebook the next day to apologise to both his fans and the X-Factor judges for his attitude.
"What I do, I do for the love of Hip-Hop and my fans, and I would never doing anything to hurt either," the fifteen-year-old wrote.
"I seriously apologize to my fans, what I said and my emotions weren't directed toward you."
"I'm 15 and I think I know everything, but the truth is, I don't, and I handled the situation wrong," wrote Astro.
"I want to be the new ambassador for Hip-Hop and a leader of a new young movement of positive kids, but to be that I must have integrity and honour first."
The young rapper has previously been lauded by X-Factor judges and industry experts for his maturity and talent.
