It was the first time in Glastonbury history that a rapper headlined the festival, much to the disapproval of Glastonbury concert goers and Noel Gallagher. The controversy is all down to angry fans disputing that Glastonbury is betraying its roots as a rock-music festival. This has sparked controversy and much debate over the last couple of weeks. The rapper also stayed upsetting Glastonbury organisers after constantly changing his travel plans ahead of his headline performance. He was due to arrive by helicopter early yesterday for a tour of the 500-acre site in Pilton, Somerset. But reportedly, Beyonce's entourage wanted to be driven in. A plan to fly Jay-Z to the festival by helicopter was finalised just hours before his 10.45pm performance.
Hilariously, the rapper took a dig at Noel by opening his act with Oasis' 'Wonderwall':
Despite all the dispute, the crowd seemed to love it. And so did Beyonce, who was seen jumping up and down throughout his other performances.

Blu Cantrell was spotted out and about in Beverley Hills yesterday doing some shopping:
It truly saddens me that this woman is putting all that damn talent to waste.
