Kele Okereke of Bloc Party seems to have taken a page out of the Lily Allen book of self promotion. Just weeks after proclaiming Oasis is overrated, Okereke has apparently picked a public feud with the "bad boy rocker" image of Pete Doherty (ok, he's more idiot than bad, but some people depend on these cliche's so who am I to disappoint?).

Okereke slammed Doherty for drug use and hits out at the genius tag some have placed on Kate Moss' flame. He's quoted as saying "it's easier to be a misfit or a dropout than be a genius and actually create something." Taking the rant directly to the Babyshamble singer he quipped "Someone like Pete Doherty, with his drug taking and refusal to adhere to a traditional lifestyle, makes people think that his art is more relevant because he's a f**k up."

No doubt Okereke will later claim the pair are buds.
