Jay-z Rocks Glastonbury

Jay-Z mocked Noel Gallagher during his Glastonbury performance on Saturday night. The rapper hit back at the British rocker’s claims that hip-hop wasn’t right for the festival by opening with a cover of Oasis’ ‘Wonderwall’. Before the cover, Noel’s scathing comments were broadcast on a huge video screen.

Noel, who headlined the world-famous festival in 1995 and 2004 with Oasis, originally said when quizzed about Jay-Z’s slot on the Pyramid Stage: “I’m sorry, but Jay-Z? No chance. Glastonbury has the tradition of guitar music. I’m not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. It’s wrong.”

After ‘Wonderwall’, Jay-Z blew away the huge audience with a blistering performance which included his hit ‘99 Problems’ and a rendition of Amy Winehouse’s ‘Rehab’. He told the crowd: “For those that didn’t get the memo my name is Jay-Z and I’m pretty f***ing awesome.” Towards the end of his performance, the star - whose wife Beyonce Knowles watched from the side of the stage - asked the crowd what they thought of his appearance.

He said: “So, I hear you guys didn’t want me here tonight? “They said you weren’t into hip-hop. One question Glastonbury, ‘Where is the love?’ “

He might be the richest man in hip-hop but even rapper Jay-Z sometimes has problems getting into nightclubs.Beyonce’s fiance came a cropper when he turned up to swanky London venue Kabaret’s Prophecy with his 15-strong entourage.

They asked for a table - and were turned away, after being told the club was full.

“Jaz-Z turned up just before 2am,” a source told the Daily Mirror.

“He was keen to party and rushed down the stairs to look for a table.

“But he was told there was no way he and his party could be seated as the club was heaving. We were stunned.”

But instead of throwing a star strop and demanding to be seated, Jay-Z calmly left, according to the source.

The multi-millionaire rapper had a run of bad luck when he arrived in the capital yesterday, to pick up a GQ Man Of The Year Award.

He was due at London’s Cafe De Paris last night to see one of his protegees, Teairra Mari, perform.

But fans waiting for a glimpse of him were disappointed when he showed up late and refused to mingle with them.

From there, he went on to attend a party for his Rocawear clothing line.

But it took him ages to get in after a problem with his keys - and it was eventually 1am before he showed up at the party.
