Jessie J unfollows her fans on Twitter, wonders why they are annoyed

Singer Jessie J has apologised after apparently unfollowing hundreds of her fans on Twitter.

Earlier this week the number of accounts she followed went from more than 800 to just 1, Reuters reports. The performer sent a series of now-deleted tweets claiming: "I didn't unfollow just all my fans. Please stop trying to create bad energy, I unfollowed half my followers. And when my thumb can be bothered I will unfollow the other half. Seriously guys. My love and respect for anyone isn't based in [sic] a follow."

The 27-year-old singer has since tweeted:

As of Friday afternoon, the singer was following 37 people on Twitter.
