Rina Sawayama

Rina Sawayama may have dedicated her track, ‘STFU’ to Matty Healy, during her Glastonbury set today (June 24) at the festival’s Woodsies Stage.

“Tonight this goes out to a white man that watches ‘Ghetto Gaggers’ [porn] and mocks Asian people on a podcast,” she told the crowd, adding, “He also owns my masters. I’ve had enough.” Watch a clip from her performance below.

Sawayama is signed to Dirty Hit, which is owned by Jamie Oborne of The 1975. Healy was a director at the company, but stepped down from that role back in April.

Earlier this year, Healy faced controversy for an episode of The Adam Friedland podcast he guested on in February. In it, heĀ made various inflammatory comments about women and discussed how he believesĀ Harry StylesĀ ā€œgets a passā€ on criticism over alleged ā€œqueer-baitingā€. Friedland and co-host Nick Mullen then discussed Ice Spice’s heritage, debating whether she has Hawaiian, Inuit or Chinese, before impersonating the accents of those countries and regions.

Later, Healy told theĀ New York Times that the podcast controversy “actually doesn’t matter”. He continued: “Nobody is sitting there at night slumped at their computer, and their boyfriend comes over and goes, ā€˜What’s wrong, darling?’ and they go, ā€˜It’s just this thing with Matty Healy’.”

Following her performance of ‘STFU’ the pop star covered Limp Bizkit‘s ‘Break Stuff’.

Elsewhere at Glastonbury, Oscar-winning actor Tilda Swinton joinedĀ Max RichterĀ on stage – but a man attempted to interrupt their set with a naked protest.

Yesterday (June 23) mystery band The ChurnupsĀ were revealed to be theĀ Foo Fighters, who took the Pyramid Stage for a one-hour performance. During the set, frontmanĀ Dave GrohlĀ was alsoĀ joined by his daughter VioletĀ to perform ā€˜Show Me How’ from recent album ā€˜But Here We Areā€˜.
