Rapper Aitch has vowed to remove advert for his new album and restore the painting of ‘local hero’ in Manchester
A mural of former Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis on Port Street, Manchester, has been painted over with an advert for local rapper Aitch, prompting such an outcry that the rapper has promised to restore the original painting.
Aitch, a drill artist from Moston in north Manchester, said he had no control over which billboards were used to advertise his new album and would never have sanctioned such an act of “disrespect” against a “local hero”.
