Who are Rak-Su? X Factor 2017 winners who triumphed over Grace Davies in the grand final
RAK-SU were crowned the winners of X Factor 2017 after a tense battle.
The RnB band wowed the fans with their raw talent from the get-go. Here's more about the group.
Who are Rak-Su?
Rak-Su wasted no time making waves with the judges as the smoothest boyband to hit the show since JLS.
The group, Ashley Fongho, Jamaal Shurland, Mustafa Rahimtulla and Myles Stephenson, impressed the judges with their original song I'm Feeling You and the viewers hailed them as the winners from the early rounds.
Nicole Scherzinger started off the series by flirting with them after one member admitted he fancied her.
The group were crowned champions after beating Grace Davies in the final.
What has Rak-Su said about having a feud with Simon Cowell?
Rak-Su denied having a feud with X Factor boss Simon Cowell after leaving his record label.
The 2017 talent show winners were sensationally cut loose from Syco ini 2018 after the music mogul rowed with Little Mix, who were managed by the same company.
The group admitted their time at Syco was “frustrating” and “confusing”.
But they hope Simon will listen to their new single Yours Or Mine when it drops on Friday, April 19, 2019.
Their future was left hanging in the balance when Cowell cut ties with all of the company's artists - including the lads - and they were moved to new home RCA.
and speaking exclusively to The Sun Online about finally being able to share their new track, and recent EP Rome, with fans, Ashley Fongho, 26, said: "For any artist/label relationship to work it's going to have to be a partnership.
"I feel like for us, knowing what we want, it's really really nice to be in an environment where people are going to help to facilitate what we want.
He added: "Releasing the Rome EP on RCA, everything has been great. We said we wanted to release four visuals we wanted to do the EP and they just supported us.
"Whether (Simon's) had the chance to sit down and listen to it we don't know."
Bandmate Myles Stephenson added: "We hope he has."

What has Cheryl said about Rak-Su?
Cheryl, who temporarily judged with Simon at the Judges' Houses this year, has been keeping up with what's going on - and she likes Rak-Su as much as Nicole.
She posted a gushing tweet about the band on October 30, writing: "Just saw last nights Xf !! Rak-suuuuuuuuuuu come thru boys! Yessss! Obsessed."
She was on dangerous territory tweeting that as her boyfriend Liam Payne had warned Myles to stay away from Cheryl.
The Rak-Su member had admitted to fancying the star when he came face to face with her on a live episode.
In response, Liam said when he appeared on the ITV show to perform: "He fancies my missus so I’ve got to keep an eye on him!”
