US rapper Jay-Z will open his headline slot at the Glastonbury Festival later with a recorded message from Noel Gallagher, it’s been reported.
The rapper will broadcast the Oasis guitarist’s controversial statement in which he said that it was “wrong” for hip-hop music to feature at the festival.
Gallagher, who made the comment earlier this year, was one of a number of artists to speak out about Jay-Z’s booking.
In a bid to avenge the guitarist, the Sun reports that Jay-Z has secured the rights to the interview and will broadcast it when he takes to the stage.
Jay-Z's booking has also been blamed on the festival failing to sell out for the first time in ten years. He has revoked the criticism, however, calling it "ridiculous".
On hearing the rapper’s plans for tonight's show, Gallagher said: “Blaring Out? I fucking doubt it very much.
“There aren’t enough speakers. Well, I guess it will make the first five minutes interesting.”
