When Oasis‘ Noel Gallagher made his infamous comment several months ago [click to read], he probably didn’t expect Jay-Z’s success to pan out the way it did.
Not only did Hova mimic Noel onstage with a “Wonderwall” impression, but the Glastonbury Festival performance sold out, something Gallagher believed wasn’t possible with a headlining Hip Hop act. Immediately afterward, “99 Problems” jumped back on the UK singles chart. And to put a nail in the coffin, Jay-Z’s newest single from The Blueprint 3 addresses Noel’s foot-in-the-mouth comment (“That bloke from Oasis said I couldn’t play guitar / Somebody should have told him I’m a fucking rock star“).
Now in the recent issue of NME Magazine, Gallagher attempted to change his stance on Jay-Z. “I wasn’t saying I was better than Jay-Z as a person or rock was greater than Hip Hop as a thing or whatever it is. I said what I said, and it was wrong, or it was taken wrong, and now all this.”
He went on to explain that his intentions were never to start a conflict, and that he can see them hanging out in the near future. “For my own part, I can sit here and say I never dissed that guy. I never would. But there’s no point in going on about it, because you end up sounding like Heather Mills: ‘I said this! I meant that!’ I’ll have a beer with him one day and it’ll all be fine.”

To end it, Noel stated he’s past the whole ordeal. “He knows that I was misrepresented, as I guess he was, so let’s move on.”
