Rock band Kasabian have branded Miley Cyrus "a fucking nightmare of the 21st Century," according to a report.

The stars have slammed the music industry over their marketing of the singer, said NME.

The Wrecking Ball singer has courted controversy in recent months due to a number of high-profile incidents, including her much-discussed performance at the MTV VMAs, twerking on singer Robin Thicke.

Cyrus also sparked controversy by lighting what seemed to be a joint on stage at the EMAs in Amsterdam.

She has since hit out at criticism of her behaviour by claiming that she is just playing a "character".

Kasabian songwriter and guitarist Serge Pizzorno told NME: "I don't really know what that world is man. It's just a fucking money making thing. We (the music industry) created Miley Cyrus man, that's our fault. She's just a fucking accumulation of Internet porn, fucking hip-hop, fucking Disney world. She's just a fucking nightmare of the 21st Century."

He went on: "It's not her fault but we created that. The way she goes about her business, Twitter, all this bollocks, blows my mind."

Singer Tom Meighan, who now has a baby daughter, added: "I'll tell you something my daughter's not going to be anything like her no way."
