Tulisa Contostavlos

Tulisa Contostavlos' ex-boyfriend Justin Edwards received death threats over their sex tape.

The rapper - whose stage name is MC Ultra - has admitted he faced a furious backlash from 'X Factor' judge Tulisa's fans when she accused him of leaking their infamous X-rated tape when it went viral in April 2012.

Justin told The Sun newspaper: ''I had millions of little 12-year-olds sending me death threats on twitter.

''A lot of people made assumptions about what happened and why. Her fans have been destroying me. Some of them are like, 'Go and die.'

''It's been a hellish time having the world turn against you, it's not been nice for me and my family. I went on twitter and wrote, 'All this fuss over something so little'.''

Justin, 28, claims they shot the sex tape on 23-year-old Tulisa's phone in 2010 whilst they were backstage at an N-Dubz gig.

He said: ''We'd done our sound check and then me and her snuck off for a bit of naughty time in an empty changing room.''

Tulisa - who said she was ''devastated'' and ''heartbroken'' when the footage became public - is suing Justin for £100,000 ($156K) for alleged breach of privacy.

Justin is adamant he is not to blame and did not make the tape public.

He insisted: ''I filmed it but not on my phone. How can I release something that I haven't got?

''But there were a couple of options of people it could have been and who could have put it out there.''
