Noel Gallagher takes dig at Harry Styles, claims ex 'One Direction' member doesn't make 'real' music

This is not the first time Noel has thrown shade at Harry as the former had once claimed that his cat could have composed a song better than Styles

Noel Gallagher has taken a jibe at Harry Styles suggesting that the former 'One Direction' member is always surrounded by a lot of girls and doesn't work hard as other musicians. In a recent interview with The Daily Star, Styles was chastised by the former ‘Oasis’ guitarist for his "worthless" music following the release of his new track, 'As It Was.' Noel accused the 'Watermelon Sugar' hitmaker of not working as hard as a "real" artist.

Not just that, Noel argued that singers who rose to prominence on Simon Cowell's TV talent program 'The X Factor,' on which Styles' former band 'One Direction' formed in 2010, have absolutely "nothing to do with music." Noel explained, "The X Factor is a TV program, it has nothing to do with music, it has nothing to do with music whatsoever, and anything that has come from that, that's got nothing to do with music."

"You're not telling me Harry Styles is currently in a room somewhere writing a song," Noel told The Daily Star, adding that "With any joy, he'll be surrounded by a lot of girls." The 'Wonderwall' artist added, "I can assure you he's not got an acoustic guitar out trying to write a middle eight for something."

This is not the first time Noel has thrown shade on the ‘One Direction’ alum. Following the release of his debut solo single 'Sign of the Times' in 2017, Noel poked fun at the 28-year-old pop sensation, claiming that his cat could have composed the song in "about 10 minutes." During an interview with Absolute Radio, he had said, "People of my age have let themselves go, they're fat, balding idiots with fading tattoos. They sit in their garage and write s**t like 'Sign of the Times' for Harry Styles. Which, quite frankly, my cat could have written in about 10 minutes!"

However, Noel's wife, Sara MacDonald, is a fan of Styles, to which Noel responded, "I don't mind the song, my wife was falling over herself, 'Have you heard Harry Styles' new song? It's like Prince.' I was like, 'Without even hearing it, I can assure you it's not like Prince!' "
