Wiley sacks manager – then leaks his music


The supremely erratic but addictively bizarre grime artist Wiley has hit the news again this week.

On Wednesday he sacked his manager via Twitter, saying: ‘This is why I sack people cos they think they can do shit john woolf you are sacked forever’.

He later added: ‘I would rather not do a deal with that manager he lies day and night’.

In another diplomatic turn of events he later claimed his label, AATW, wanted to sack him. But he later retracted that, saying they ‘jus need to get the right deal across tho lol’.

Wiley has also announced he is leaving Boy Better Know due to friction with crew member Skepta.

Speaking on the phone to Lynnike and Sefa's grime show, Wiley talked more about the split with his manager, explaining that he did it via Twitter because the only other option was to ‘go to his house, kick down the door, and…’

Steady on.

In a quiet moment I suggest you listen to the full interview, because it certainly beats the crappy storyline EastEnders is currently rolling with.

In his break-up fury, Wiley has now decided to leak all his music for free on the net – and the grime forums are going mad for it.

Wiley adds: ‘Then I'm going to be quiet, but while I'm being quiet I'm actually not going to be quiet, I'm going to make new music but definitely hide it and not let a soul hear it until the day it's meant to come out.’

The free Wiley catalogue is apparently only available until the end of today. Check out Grime Forum for links.
