Aitch- inappropriate pyramid booking? Or slot

[Welshinexile]

I’m not sure if I just didn’t get him but I found his language about women wildly inappropriate after Raye had literally just been talking about sexual violence against women in her set. 
 

Someone explain it to me? I’m quite old but I thought he was vile - I may well be missing the point though!!

I don’t really get his music, but he has a lot of fans who do

Yeah it's not for everyone, but the stuff he's rapping about isn't anything more than sexual braggadocio which is an inherent part of his thing. It might get a bit explicit but there's nothing violent or even necessarily creepy towards women in his lyrics.

He was better suited to Other anyway and I think he's probably a "one and done" in terms of bookings, but even though I'm not a fan it's good the festival are acknowledging this level of UK rap. Him and Central Cee are huge.

What did he say that was bad? (I wasn't there, genuinely asking).

Well he started off with ‘have you ever had a millionaire eat your p**sy’ straight after Raye had talked about her experiences. And then there was loads more of it, some of it worse, throughout his set.
 

I just thought it was ill timed to be honest. He got told off too for some of the stuff he said from his guest too. 
 

I had my 11 year old daughter with me and I wasn’t keen for her to hear most of it. And as a woman too, it made me uncomfortable.

To be fair Raye ended her set with Escapism, which is also a pretty filthy sex jam.

Would need to hear the worse stuff. The millionaire line is fine imho.

Escapism not escapology

I dunno- I might have been hypersensitive as I had my daughter with me at her first glasto too! 
 

I did also think that it was a load of bravado too!
