    Noel Gallagher: 'I Like Jay-Z Despite Glastonbury Criticism'

    Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher has revealed that he likes Jay-Z – despite calling the US rapper’s Glastonbury booking “wrong”.

    Speaking to the BBC, Gallagher defended his comment, which was made in the build-up to the festival, and told journalists to stop asking him questions if they don’t want his honest answers.

    "For the record, I Iike Jay-Z. That's my opinion. If it offends people, don't ask me anymore questions,” he said.

    "I should do these things and answer like every two-bit pop star."

    Gallagher went on to blame broadsheet newspapers for the controversy that was created around his Glastonbury remarks, which also attacked the hip-hop genre in general.

    "The broadsheets get hold of it and have me going down Hyde Park Corner blasting and slamming,” he said.

    • I think the same thing that NOEL said about not having HIP.-HOP on glastonbury. Hip-hop it’s bad as cancer or VHI. Please stop that ****in music.That music is for assasins and drug dealers who kills children.
