Grime artist Wiley has expressed his thoughts on the Dizzee Rascal vs Radio 1 furore, saying the 'Bonkers' rapper is "lost into what they've moulded him into".
After Dizzee Rascal took aim at Radio 1 for not playlisting his new single, Wiley posted a string of tweets that seemed to insinuate Dizzee's music has become too commercial in recent years.
"Dizzee is lost in what they have moulded him into," he said. "He is sick of being a robot finally..Even tho he is ahead with money ..he aint happy."
Watch the video for Wiley's 'Lights On' below:
Wiley, 34, warmed to his theme, saying he doesn't think Dizzee's new music is good, and that no one around him is telling him the truth. Check out the tweets below.

The two rappers go a long way back, with Wiley having taken a young Dizzee Rascal under his wing at the start of his career. The two have since made public snipes at each other in interviews.
Dizzee Rascal shot to fame in 2003 with his seminal debut, Boy In Da Corner, which won that year's Mercury Prize. His gradual transformation into a commercial pop artist who collaborates with the likes of will.i.am and Robbie Williams has attracted criticism from fans.
