Jay-Z kicked off his controversial Glastonbury headline slot tonight (June 28) with an Oasis cover - hitting back at Noel Gallagher’s criticism of his booking.

Before the show started, a montage of clips played, concluding with the recent interview Gallagher gave where he said the Pyramid Stage performance was “not right” for the festival.

Before a huge crowd, the superstar rapper then mimed along to Oasis’ huge 1995 hit ‘Wonderwall’.

-Can you believe the nerve?! We’ve got to get him back!
-Noel, maybe you should just let it go.
-Let it go? Not a chance. He was NOT RIGHT for the festival.
-Glastonbury is a music festival. He’s probably the most successful rapper of all time and rap is one of the most popular types of music on the planet. How could he possibly not be right for it?

-I’ve got it! We should play a cover of one of HIS songs!
-Look, you’re being a tit. Liam is going to punch you in the throat if you make a bigger mockery of yourself than you’ve already done. Please stop.
-Quick, tell me the name of a Jay-Z song - did he sing that “I like big butts” number?
-
-Or, hang on - I seem to remember a certain “Humpy” persona.  Was that Jay-Z?  The one inciting people to perform the Humpy Dump?
-I’m not going to be a part of this.
-Never mind, I’ll just look it up online. Ah, here is one called “Big Pimpin’”.
-For the love of God, please stop.
-(in thick Manchurian accent, to the tune of “Don’t look back in anger”) We doin’ big pimpin, we spendin’ cheese…
-You’re only hurting yourself.
-(with growing enthusiasm) We doin’ big pimpin’ up in NYC! It’s just that Jigga-man, Pimp-C and B.U.N.B. – come on and sing it with me, other member of Oasis!
-I told you to stop calling me that.
