Oasis rocker Noel Gallagher says Harry Styles is not a 'real' musician and calls his music 'worthless'

• Noel Gallagher criticized Harry Styles in a recent interview, according to Yahoo.
• The former Oasis guitarist said Styles is not a "real" musician and called his music "worthless."

Noel Gallagher accused Harry Styles of not working as hard as "real" musicians.

The former Oasis guitarist criticized "The X Factor," where Styles got his start in 2010, during a recent interview with the Daily Star (per Yahoo).

"'The X Factor' is a TV show, it's got nothing to do with music, it's got nothing to do with music whatsoever, and anything that has come from that, that's got nothing to do with music," Gallagher said.

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

Styles recently released "As It Was," an '80s-inspired synth-pop song that he cowrote with Kid Harpoon and Tyler Johnson. It broke Spotify's single-day streaming record with 8.3 million listens in less than 24 hours.

Styles is also credited as a cowriter on every track from his debut album "Harry Styles" and Grammy-winning sophomore album "Fine Line."

But according to Yahoo, Gallagher described Styles' music as "worthless."

The "Wonderwall" singer also criticized Styles' music in 2017 when he released "Sign of the Times," his first solo single after One Direction went on hiatus.

Gallagher mocked his peers for cowriting songs with younger pop stars like Styles during an interview with Absolute Radio (per NME).

"People of my age have let themselves go, they're fat, balding idiots with fading tattoos," he said. "They sit in their garage and write shite like 'Sign of the Times' for Harry Styles. Which, quite frankly, my cat could have written in about 10 minutes."

He added that his wife, Sara MacDonald, enjoys Styles' music.

"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,'" he said.

Meanwhile, his younger brother and former Oasis bandmate Liam Gallagher has praised Styles' solo career.

"I don't mind it, man. There's some interesting bits in it," Liam told NME shortly after "Sign of the Times" was released.

"Fair play to him," he continued. "I'm sure, like, it's a bigger fucking cost. I've got the weight of Oasis still hanging over me and I'm sure I'll always be that guy from Oasis, so I'm sure he's carrying an equal weight. If he wants to get out of that pop world and into something with a bit more substance I think that's a good thing."
