Wiley has become the latest star to throw his oar in over the great Glastonbury debate.

Ever since Noel Gallagher claimed that Jay-Z is "wrong" for the festival, people have been queueing up to offer their opinon.

Now, the grime sensation has told the Daily Star that he thinks people have been getting the wrong end of the stick about the Oasis singer's comments.

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

Wiley also thinks Gallagher shouldn't let it get to him.

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

Wiley's head is evidently up his arse. What Noel means is, why put on a shitty rap act to headline, when you should be trying to cater to the whole audience, and not a group of "wiggas". I hope Jay gets bottled off like 50 Cent did!

The lineup would be have to be absolute dire to justify going to Jay Z purely to bottle him rather than going to see anyone else (and there's bound to be at least 3 other acts that most people would rather see - or even more depending on how much you hate Jay Z).
