It seems like Rina Sawayama took a swipe at The 1975's Matty Healy during her set at Glastonbury.

The 32-year-old appeared to reference Healy's recent racism controversy in her intro to performing 'STFU!'.

Sawayama made reference to his remarks on the Adam Friedland Show podcast, where Healy said he had watched Ghetto Gaggers – pornographic videos in which women of colour are reportedly put in submissive positions by white men.

"I wrote this because I was sick & tired of these micro-aggressions," the singer remarked on stage.

"This goes out to a white man that watches Ghetto Gaggers & mocks Asian people on a podcast.

"He also owns my masters.

"I've had enough."

Well, in the same podcast, Healy also mistakenly identified US rapper Ice Spice as being from Hawaiian Inuit and Chinese heritage, while mocking each accent.

While performing on stage in Auckland, New Zealand with The 1975, Healy issued an apology to the rapper's saying: "I just feel a bit bad, and I’m kind of a bit sorry if I’ve offended you.

"Ice Spice, I’m sorry. It’s not because I’m annoyed that me joking got misconstrued.

"It’s because I don’t want Ice Spice to think I’m a d***. I love you, Ice Spice. I’m so sorry.

"The truth is, I see a sign that says like, ‘Matty, I hope you’re OK.’

"I feel a bit bad, to be honest, because I feel like I’ve been a bit irresponsible.

"It’s very well for me to say, ‘I don’t understand how famous I am. I don’t like being famous.

"But reality is reality. And I think that I’ve said some things or kind of, I make a joke out of everything.

"That’s my thing. And I can take it too far sometimes in front of too many people.

"And I feel a bit embarrassed. So that’s the truth."

In an interview with The New York Times in May, Healy was asked if he had been 'baiting' his fans with the podcast remarks, to which he replied: "A little bit. But it doesn’t actually matter.

"Nobody is sitting there at night slumped at their computer, and their boyfriend comes over and goes, ‘What’s wrong, darling?’ and they go, ‘It’s just this thing with Matty Healy.’ That doesn’t happen."

"You’re either lying that you are hurt, or you’re a bit mental for being hurt.

"It’s just people going, ‘Oh, there’s a bad thing over there, let me get as close to it as possible so you can see how good I am.’ And I kind of want them to do that, because they’re demonstrating something so base level."

UNILAD has contacted Matty Healy's representatives for comment.
