Update: Slowthai Apologises ‘Unreservedly’ To Katherine Ryan After Awkward NME Awards Incident
Katherine Ryan Speaks Out After Awkward On-Stage Encounter With Slowthai At NME Awards
British Rapper Slowthai left the NME Awards abruptly on Wednesday night, after an on-stage clash with host Katherine Ryan and a subsequent incident involving an audience member.
Video footage from the night showed Slowthai walking on stage in the middle of the ceremony, seemingly to speak to host Julie Adenuga, with Katherine intervening.
As he got up in Katherine’s face, he repeatedly referred to her as “baby girl” inviting her to “smell his cologne” and saying into her microphone: “She wants me to tend to her flowers.”There was an incident at #NMEAwards2020 last night. British Rapper Slowthai, invaded host Katherine Ryan's space on stage and began making lewd & misogynist comments. Slowthai then began fighting with the audience. The amazing @Kathbum handled it like a pro, seemingly unphased. x pic.twitter.com/TdeV0lDHWI— Stand Up Fanatic (@standup_fanatic) February 13, 2020Katherine then dismissively told him: “You are, like, the hottest guy I’ve ever seen… I’m so thirsty for your cock.
“Thank you for the attention. Let’s hear it for him! So hot! I’m so wet I’m going to slip off these stairs any minute.” Shortly after the incident, Slowthai was awarded Hero Of The Year, during which a member of the crowd shouted that he was a “misogynist”, apparently referencing his exchange with Katherine on stage.
“Thank you for ruining my speech, thank you very much,” Slowthai said back, after which a microphone and a full glass were thrown in the rapper’s direction.In retaliation, he threw a glass down into the crowd, before launching himself off the stage, at which point security intervened, and Katherine Ryan could be seen on stage attempting to cool the situation down.
NME then reported that Slowthai had been “escorted from the stage” and had “left the NME Awards… following an altercation with the crowd”, but did not specify whether or not it was his choice to leave the venue completely. It’s just kicked off at the NME Awards #Slowthai 😬 just after he won hero of the year #NMEAwards2020pic.twitter.com/rKmUOXSuhB— Vinesh (@V1nesh) February 12, 2020HuffPost UK has contacted representatives for Slowthai for comment.
Shortly after the ceremony, Katherine also spoke out, insisting Slowthai “didn’t make [her] feel uncomfortable”.
“This is why we need women in positions of power,” she tweeted. “I knew he had lost [the fight] from the moment he opened his mouth like any heckler coming up against a COMIC - not a woman - a COMIC. I was operating 2/10. What a sweet boy. I defused it. Tonight was fun!”He didn’t make me uncomfortable.This is why we need women in positions of power.

“Fuck Boris Johnson, fuck everything and there ain’t nothing great about Britain,” he shouted during the performance.READ MORE: Katherine Ryan's Boyfriend Saves Netflix Scripts From Thieves During Burglary Rapper Holds Up Fake Decapitated Head Of Boris Johnson At Mercury Prize Awards
