He also called the dustup over a rapper being added to the lineup embarrassing.

Actress Gwyneth Paltrowwho is married to Martinalso stepped up to the plate for Hov, saying, "He's the best rapper of all-time and I think he'll knock it out of the park."
Jay-Z was previously blamed for slowing ticket sale for the show with some claiming that concert attendees wanted to see rock acts instead of Hip Hop, a claim the show organizers vehemently denied.
The Glastonbury Festival begins June 27 and will conclude June 29 at Worthy Farm, Somerset.
