Noel doesn't hate Jay-Z

Noel Gallagher tells BBC Newsbeat he likes Jay-Z and blames the broadsheets for blowing up his earlier comments about the Glastonbury headliner.

So, that whole debate about Jay-Z headlining Glastonbury was completely unwarranted, as the man who sparked it all off, Noel Gallagher, actually likes the rapper. It was just the media spinning things out of control. Bad media. We'd never get caught up in something like that. Speaking to BBC Newsbeat, Gallagher said: "For the record, I like Jay-Z. That's my opinion. The broadsheets get hold of it and have me going down Hyde Park Corner blasting and slamming. If it offends people, don't ask me any more questions". I'm not even sure what that means but I'm convinced nonetheless.
