Wiley quits Glastonbury before performance, reveals he never made it to the festival

Friday, Glastonbury’s first “proper” day, was ‘Wiley Day’ for everyone not actually at the festival, after the Grime MC took to Twitter to vent his frustration at having to play what he called “a rainy festival in the West Country”.

“Fuck them and their farm,” read one particular tweet – sounding like a British Kanye ordering some croissants. He went on to say that Michael Eavis and co hadn’t paid him “enough to leave my comfort zone” and that he’d prefer to be nearer his home “in Hackney Downs or Clissold Park… alldayer vibes”.

Now, it turns out that he never even bothered to go to Worthy Farm in the first place (he was just tweeting from Heathrow Airport), has bailed on today’s scheduled performance and he’s on his way to Cyprus as we type this.

To make up for the disappointment of him not performing live today, here’s some things that we’ve learnt from ‘Round 2 of Wiley Glasto Tweets’:

He has feelings contrary to popular belief:

I respect my fans have feelings …I do too.

He’s happy to give us music news writers something to write about (Thanks, Wiley):

I made the headlines more than the people who are playing ….lol — Wiley (@WileyUpdates) June 29, 2013

That he’s “too old for this shit”:

Nobody can spin me over in a business deal in 2013 so it’s pointless trying. — Wiley (@WileyUpdates) June 29, 2013

That he’d know what to do if he was Samuel L Jackson in Snakes on a Plane:

I don’t think I’m to big for anyone or any event either I just know when enough is enough …

He probably wouldn’t be the first around a hippy campfire at Glasto:

I am not overpaid not greedy..get it right… but some festivals underpay and pull that charity bullshit stunt I hear them…

He’s still bitter towards Dizzee Rascal (who invited AlunaGeorge on stage with him last night):

Who tried to do white noise in their set ? — Wiley (@WileyUpdates) June 29, 2013

He is the closest we have to a modern-day Voltaire:

No longer will I follow tradition’s that are not my own ..If I choose not too. — Wiley (@WileyUpdates) June 28, 2013

He loves Twitter as much as Twitter loves him:

I love twitter I swear it’s so sick.
