When Jay-Z was announced as a headliner for this year’s Glastonbury festival, it caused no end of controversy, and consternation amongst regular Glasto-goers who weren’t happy with the booking. In the run-up to this weekend’s festival, Jay-Z has now come out and had his say on the whole thing.

The 2008 Glastonbury Festival has had a tumultuous build-up, with complaints from many about the unnecessarily stringent ticket buying policy, and a distinct lack of enthusiasm over the line-up, with Jay-Z’s headline slot coming in for particular criticism.
