Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme is tearing into Jay Z regarding the rock group’s treatment at his Made in America festival this summer. Homme told CBC Radio 2’s Strombo Show that Jay is a “kook” who uses extreme security practices and only gave them champagne for a photo op. “He has his security frisking the bands on the way in,” Homme said. “I just told them, ‘If you open up my bag, I’m not playing, so I guess it’s up to you whether we are playing or not.’ The idea they frisked all my guys, means you’re in some different place.” “No-one has ever done that [to me].” It got worse from there, he says. “He also gave us some champagne and wanted us to take a photo with it,” the 40-year-old singer said. “And I thought that’s not a gift that is a marketing tool.” “So I destroyed it. Because I thought it was rude overall.” “And you shouldn’t frisk my guys, you should fuck off.” Jay Z had yet to address Homme’s comments, but the rocker’s remarks stand out because much of the entertainment community is wary of criticizing him . If the allegations are true, though, it would seem that Beyonce’s better half, who has reached full-on mogul status of late, has gotten too corporate.
