UPDATE: a Radio 1 “spokesperson” said; “”Radio 1 has given Dizzee huge support over the last decade, and while not every song can make the cut, we have playlisted three singles off his current album, so we were very disappointed and really surprised to read these comments.” (Source)

From NME:

Dizzee Rascal has launched a scathing Twitter attack on BBC Radio 1.

In a series of tweets [above], the rapper criticised the station’s playlist decisions and also attacked the Live Lounge sessions.

Dizzee Rascal released his new album ‘The Fifth’ last month (September 30). As well as Williams, the album features collaborations with Jessie J, Calvin Harris, Tinie Tempah, Bun B, Trae the Truth and Angel as well as songwriters Warren Okay ‘Oak’ Felder, Andrew ‘Pop’ Wansell, Jean-Baptiste Kouame and RedOne.
