Wiley: 'Glastonbury and Wireless can f**k off as far as i'm concerned'
Rapper burning bridges before his Saturday set
- Professor Green vs EMI: Last year Professor Green took to Twitter to rant against his label EMI over a number of issues. According to the rapper his single 'Never Be A Right Time' was rushed, the video for 'Remedy' was a month late and the label took 25% from his performance earnings without showing up to his shows. Green made clear that his beef wasn't financial, it was because he felt the label weren't doing their job.

British Grime artist Wiley, best known for hits such as 'Wearing My Rolex', took to Twitter last night to complain about his appearance at Glastonbury and UK festivals in general.
The rapper arrived at Glastonbury yesterday but isn't supposed to be performing until tomorrow. However, as soon as he arrived for the festival it began to rain, causing Wiley to launch into an impressive Twitter rant.
His tweets ranged from saying he is going to sack everyone from his team, asking God to 'strike down' his manager, and pleading with the Glastonbury twitter accounts to let him cancel and 'not sue' him.
He also tweeted, "I'm gonna tell al the promoters how much Glastonbury get away with paying people and the other festivals with think wtf ..", in what appears to be a desperate act to denounce the festival enough so that they will let him cancel.
Particular highlights from Wiley's long list include:
1. 'Fuck it life goes on but I am pissed. Glastonbury ain't paying me enough to leave my comfort zone... tight bastards'
2. 'Capital ball Glastonbury And wireless can all fuck off as far I'm concerned.'
3. '@GlastoFest tell michael eavis I dont wanna play please maybe he has the power to throw me off the line up ...
Unfortunately, it seemed Wiley's efforts were to no avail, as earlier today he tweeted this statement:
And after all that jargon I still have to do Glastonbury ......Lol.

It also appears that the rapper has deleted many of the tweets from the evening too, before asking followers to 'talk about something else now'.
Maybe his manager worked out how to manage him before God struck him down, and/or gained control of Wiley's twitter account, leading to this great tweet to end the drama:
1 day left till the biggest festival in the west county of England ...Glasto..can't miss this one can we ...this is festival royalty ...
