SLOW BYE
RAPPER Slowthai was branded "misogynistic" after his lewd comments at host Katherine Ryan at the NME awards last night.
The rapper, 25, was accused of making the comedian feel "uncomfortable", but what did he actually say?
What did Slowthai say to Katherine Ryan?
Horrified Twitter users shared footage of him leering at the host and telling the audience: "She wants me to tend to her flowers."
He began his tirade by asking Katherine to smell his cologne, saying "smells good don't it" as he kept calling her "baby girl".
As she tried to get away from the Northampton rapper he proceeded to paw at her while they were both on stage, he even attempted to rest his head on her breasts.
He said: "You ain't never had someone play with you like I'd play with you."
Snapping back at his inappropriate comments, she said sarcastically: "You are like the hottest guy I've ever seen."
She added "I am so thirsty for your c*** thank you for the attention", before pulling a disgusted face.
Despite the putdown the rapper carried on and began to tell her how she could earn him, but the comic hit back: "Or I could earn loads of money and buy my own house without a man."
Kathrine also referred to him as "needle d***" during their heated exchange, which happened while he was accepting his award for Hero Of The Year - voted for by the public.
Ugly scenes erupted following his bizarre exchange with the comedian as he was confronted by punters.
He hurled his microphone into the audience only for a man to pick it up and call him a "wasteman" before throwing it back at him.
He then appeared to throw a glass of champagne at punters before launching himself into the crowd.
What award did Slowthai win with Mura-Masa?
Slowthai took home two awards from the ceremony including Best Collaboration award with Mura-Masa.
The pair won the gong for Deal Wiv It, which they performed to open the event at the O2 Academy Brixton.
However they missed out on winning Best British Song, which was picked up by AJ Tracey for Ladbroke Grove.
And Billie Eilish's Bad Guy beat them to Best Song In The World.
The 25-year-old was nominated for eight gongs at the event.
Slowthai also lost out in Best Album In The World, Best British Album, Best Live Act, Best British Solo Act and Best Solo Act In The World.
But he did take home the Hero Of The Year title.
What has the reaction been on Twitter?
One guest at the ceremony said: "It was incredibly uncomfortable to watch. At first Katherine didn't seem to know what to do and then decided her best bet was to mock him.
"It's not the kind of behaviour you expect at an industry event - especially not someone behaving that way and invading the stage."
Another wrote: "Nobody even knows who he is... lets keep it that way please."
Canadian funnywoman Katherine responded by saying: "This is why we need women in positions of power.

"I knew he had lost from the moment he opened his mouth like any heckler coming up against a COMIC - not a woman - a COMIC."
Plenty of people were sharing memes captioning them with jokes about how he had ruined his career.
In 2019 Slowthai made headlines when he stripped to the waist and yelled "f*** Boris Johnson. F*** everything" and brandished an effigy of Boris Johnson's severed head at the Mercury Prize show, Eventim Apollo in London.
