Jagger insists that stars only publish "tedious" autobiographies "for money".
The guitarist released his memoirs, Life, back in October and the book made a number of unflattering references to Jagger, likening him to an annoying mynah bird and suggesting he has a small penis.
Jagger now appears to have taken a swipe at Richards for publishing the tome by criticising celebrities who lift the lid on their personal lives in print.
He tells the New York Times' T Magazine, "Personally. I think it's really quite tedious raking over the past. Mostly, people only do it for the money."
The star is adamant he doesn't want to write his own life story: "You don't want to end up like some old footballer in a pub, talking about how he made the cross in the cup final in 1964."
