Super-producer Mark Ronson took to social media yesterday to set the record straight on an interview he took part in with New York publication The Village Voice, and he likely won’t be giving them another interview any time soon:

Ronson launched into a mini rant on Facebook, albeit justifiably so given that his alleged comments about Amy Winehouse being upset about Adele’s success were not just taken out of contest but apparently wholly made up:
“I rarely ever respond to misquotes and wrong information. Plus, it only serves to bring attention to the matter. However in this case, I will not fucking tolerate it.
Some journalist quoted me as saying Amy was “freaked out” by Adele’s success… I read the interview for the first time just now, and there are so many wrong quotes in there. I can tell the dude was writing whatever he wanted because he uses words and language that i never EVER fucking use in my daily life. At one point, he was grilling me about amy to the point that i said that amy was itching to get back in the studio, and the recent success of others that she had blazed a trail for had put the fire in her belly. but that is absolutely it and all these other words are a complete affront to me, her, adele and anyone who reads this shite.”
Just goes to show, you can’t believe everything you read online! That said, Winehouse and Ronson did enjoy a somewhat turbulent professional relationship, being very off and on. At one point, Winehouse tweeted this charming message to him:
ronson you’re dead to me; one album i write an you take half the credit- make a career out of it? don’t think so
