These news that say he wants critics to stop comparing him to Freddie make no sense, since it contradicts what he said on the BBC Interview:
"The comparisons to Freddie Mercury are fine," the 23-year-old says.
"They started long before I made the record - I've even referred to it in Grace Kelly.
"A Freddie comparison is a compliment. He's a genius and one of the best there's ever been."
You can even hear him say it himself in the interview video.
