Slowthai Tries To Get Himself Cancelled At NME Awards
Young British rap troublemaker Slowthai won the fan-voted Hero Of The Year Award at the NME Awards tonight. He then spent the remainder the evening making sure everyone immediately regretted voting for him.
During his acceptance speech, Slowthai seemingly ***ually harassed presenter Katherine Ryan. When an audience member called him out, he accused them “ruining” his speech and threw his microphone into the crowd. Someone threw it back, along with a drink, so Slowthai threw his drink back at them, jumped into the crowd, and started shouting until security intervened and held him back. According to NME, he was then escorted out the event.
Earlier in the night, Slowthai and Mura Masa opened the show with a performance their song “Deal Wiv It,” during which the rapper mooned the entire room. Watch footage his altercations with Katherine Ryan and the crowd below.
