Wiley: 'Noel Gallagher is greedy'

Rex Features

Grime artist Wiley has said that the only reason Noel Gallagher doesn't want Jay-Z headlining Glastonbury is because he is "greedy".

The 'Wearing My Rolex' rapper argued that the Oasis guitarist was just jealous that his own band isn't playing the festival.

Gallagher claimed earlier this month that it was "wrong" to have a hip-hop act topping the bill at the annual summer bash.

Wiley said: "What Noel means is: 'How come a US artist is headlining Glastonbury?' He doesn’t mean urban, he doesn’t mean black. Noel is just upset because he’s not getting his band on there.

"He should stop worrying about what other people are doing. He’s got money, he should stop being greedy. Personally I like Jay-Z, and respect him."
