Posted by slowthai got into a confrontation at the NME Awards tonight (February 12th).
The ceremony is taking place at London’s Brixton Academy, and will be closed by The 1975.
Taylor Swift made a surprise appearance, before slowthai and Mura Masa linked to perform their single ‘Deal Wiv It’.
A fan seemed to get slowthai’s attention, and after a verbal exchange the rapper threw his plastic pint glass into the front row.
Diving into the crowd, he was quickly pulled away by security.
Here’s some fan clips…

UPDATE
A fuller picture has emerged overnight. slowthai won Hero Of The Year, a fan voted trophy at the NME Awards; while collecting this, he made several lewd, misogynistic remarks towards Katherine Ryan, and attempted to man handle her.
The host responded with real courage and grace, before slowthai threw his microphone into the crowd. A crowd member can be heard shouting “slowthai is a misogynist” leading to the scuffle.
He was the ejected from the Brixton Academy ceremony.
