Jay-Z hosted a dinner with GQ at Berkeley Square in London on Wednesday. Those in attendance included Naomi Campbell and designer Jimmy Choo.

“I don’t agree with it. [Kanye’s] my brother and the biggest artist on Roc-A-Fella right now. … I guess I should hook them up, because he’s a great guy, too. I don’t know what the problem is. I don’t know where that came from.”

–Jay-Z responds to MTV News about Amy Winehouse calling Kanye West a c**t during her performance at Glastonbury. Read all about it here.

Amid the controversy, Jay-Z became the first hip-hop act to headline the rock-dominated Glastonbury music festival in Pilton, England on Saturday. He opened with Oasis’ “Wonderwall.” Oasis guitarist Noel Gallager had criticized the booking of Jay as the headliner saying, “I’m not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. It’s wrong.” Hov proved the doubters wrong and delivered a strong performance.

Watch this trainwreck of a performance from Amy Winehouse at the Glastonbury Festival. It’s both sad and hilarious at the same time. At one point, Amy elbows a fan while she slurs her way through “Rehab.”

Amy Winehouse hit the stage at the Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts on Saturday in Pilton, England. During her performance of “Some Unholy War,” Winehouse sang the lyric, “At least I’m not opening for a c*** like Kanye.” Listen to the audio here.

Jay-Z did an interview in the U.K. for BBC One’s “Friday Night with Jonathan Ross.” We’ve never seen Jay so cool and laid-back in an interview. Jigga’s even cracking jokes and talking about Beyoncé. Will Smith also appears in the clip.

Everyone from Lil’ Mama to Papoose has done a freestyle to Lil Wayne’s “A Milli” and now Jay-Z has released his version called “A Billi.”

“I know a million people already did this, let’s make it a billion,” Hov raps.

Jay-Z - “A Billi”

Hip-hop’s two Carters, Lil Wayne and Jay-Z, once again join forces for a new track appropriately titled “Mr. Carter” off Tha Carter III.

“And next time you mention Pac, Biggie, or Jay-Z, don’t forget Weezy, baby!” Wayne raps. Damn straight.

Eleven days and counting.

TMZ has photos of the house that Jay-Z and Beyoncé reportedly purchased in Scarsdale, NY. Scarsdale is a northern suburb of New York City with a population of about 18,000.
