Are Little Mix on their way out? Of course, tabloids are inferring so: “Little Mix’s latest awkward interview is biggest hint that they are gearing to split up”, reads a Mirror Online headline from 3 November. The group was unable to give a clear answer to the question “What’s next?” on an Australian radio show. You’d have thought Jade Thirlwall – who had been asked the same question on Kiss FM earlier that week – would have had an answer prepared the second time.
These rumours have abounded since Jesy Nelson decided to leave the group in December 2020. Little Mix, which have sold over 60 million records, became three, with Thirlwall, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Perrie Edwards sticking around. This summer the group made headlines again as Nelson was accused of “blackfishing” in the music video for her debut solo single “Boyz”, which resulted in a public disagreement between the remaining Little Mix members, Nelson and Nicki Minaj – who featured on the track – across social media.
