Harry Styles is riding a sweet high at the moment. His first single of the year, “As It Was,” has spent three weeks atop the Billboard singles chart to become his first song to be No. 1 for multiple weeks. He just released his third album Harry’s House and it arrives as a 13-song effort that’s primed for a No. 1 debut next week. Despite all of this good, there’s one person who isn’t too keen on Harry at the moment. That person is Mick Jagger who took some shots at Harry in a recent interview with The London Times.
After saying that he and Harry have “an easy relationship,” Jagger went on a bit of a tear against the “As It Was” singer. “I mean, I used to wear a lot more eye make-up than him. Come on, I was much more androgynous,” he said. “And he doesn’t have a voice like mine or move on stage like me; he just has a superficial resemblance to my younger self, which is fine — he can’t help that.”
Jagger’s comment came as a bit of a shock to some, especially as Harry has praised Jagger on multiple occasions. Furthermore, during a 2015 interview, Jagger called Harry “very decent” and said he’s “got it going on.” Those kinder comments are in the past thanks to Jagger’s latest words, and fans of Harry took to Twitter to give him a piece of their mind.

we get it, you’re old. it’s okay to be old. it’s not a bad thing at all, actually. but there’s also no reason to be salty about harry – he’s just doing his own thing and having fun while doing it.

Its behind a paywall but wow, Mick Jagger can’t be gracious. Harry Styles’ perfromance at the VMAs is one of the best performances I have ever seen. Its weird for Jagger to diss one the greatest performers alive today. https://t.co/7W31mQBuN5

Mick Jagger being a full on hater to Harry Styles is so telling. You really can’t respect other peoples work and understand people have different styles? He sounds so pompous and narcissistic in that interview.
