Rina Sawayama calls out Matty Healy in angry Glastonbury rant

The singer, 32, performed on the Woodsies Stage on Saturday evening, however during one part she sat down and made a scathing remark.

As she introduced her song STFU (Shut The F*** Up) she dedicated the song to a man who it was pretty clear was Matty, 34.

‘This is dedicated to the white man who watches Ghetto Gaggers (porn), mocks Asian people on a podcast and owns my Masters,’ she said.

‘I’ve had enough.’

Rina is signed to Dirty Hit, the record label that The 1975 are signed to and which Matty was a director of until recently.

While Rina didn’t call Matty out by name, plenty of people watching on took to social media soon after to discuss what they’d just heard.

‘Oh sh** not Rina Sawayama calling out Matty Healy during her glasto set,’ one person posted on Twitter.

‘OMFG IVE JUST SEEN THE VIDEO OF RINA SAWAYAMA CALLING OUT MATTY HEALY,’ someone else wrote.

Her comments come after Matty found himself under fire after he was heard laughing along to derogatory comments about Asian people and the rapper Ice Spice in a since-deleted episode of The Adam Friedland podcast earlier this year.

The hosts Adam and Nick Mullen joked about the 23-year-old rapper, who is of Nigerian and Dominican descent, calling her an ‘Inuit Spice Girl,’ and a ‘chubby Chinese lady’.

Matty proceeded to laugh and the group did crude impersonations of different accents.

But the controversy didn’t cease there, as the presenters also did impressions of hypothetical Japanese guards at German concentration camps, which again amused Matty.

His actions were branded by ‘racist, misogynistic, and ignorant’ by many.

The podcast was recorded in February, but Matty issued a feeble apology two months later.

During a show in New Zealand in April he said he ‘just feel a bit bad’ and said he was ‘kind of a bit sorry’.

‘Ice Spice, I’m sorry. It’s not because I’m annoyed that me joking got misconstrued. It’s because I don’t want Ice Spice to think I’m a d**k,’ he said.

While Matty was appointed as a director of Dirty Hits in December 2018, his position was terminated in early April, with Pitchfork reporting the move was ‘administrative in nature’.

Metro.co.uk has contacted representatives for Matty Healy for comment.

Glastonbury is streaming live on BBC iPlayer.
