Noel Gallagher says his kids Google how much he's worth as he weighs in on Nepo baby row

Noel Gallagher has opened up on what he thinks about the "Nepo baby" row as he said his children Google his net worth.

The former Oasis star appeared on the radio to promote his new album Council Skies, but the subject soon turned to his own family.

He voiced his own opinion on the recent debate about "Nepo babies" - where the offspring of famous people benefit from nepotism and find it easier to forge careers in their chosen industries.

The dad-of-three spoke about how his own daughter wants to get involved in the music industry and has helped him out with his most recent album.

Joining Dave Berry on the Absolute Radio Breakfast, Noel explained: "It depends which way you look at it. My daughter she follows me around with a camera and she films me and all that. She did a film about the making of the album.

"I guess you want to keep things close to home, but they have to be good at what they do. She’s good at what she does. She’s not just wandering around pointing a camera going 'muhh there’s my dad', she is great.

"It’s not the worst thing in the world if you get your kids working for you, they’re cheap, do you know what I mean?... my lads are too busy scratching their balls and scouring TikTok for nonsense to worry about dad can I be your bass player or anything like that."

Noel opened up about a time that his son searched his net worth online before asking for money from him.

He said: "My youngest lad said to me one day, he was asking for some stuff off Fortnite and I was like how much is it and he’s like its £25.99 and I was like 'come on mate that’s a lot of money', but he went but 'you’re loaded!', I was like 'how do you know?!'. He said 'because I’ve just googled your net wealth'."

He then joked: "He was about ten at the time and I went give me that iPad. And I went, for a start it’s a lot more than that."

Noel talked about one of his sons asking him if he could give him guitar lessons after recently taking up the instrument, but he said no.

The star said he had "never had a musical lesson", saying one day he "just picked it up and there it was", leading him to think he wouldn't be able to teach anyone else.
