US rapper Lil Uzi Vert has once again fled from an interview with iconic Canadian broadcaster Nardwuar.
If you’ve never watched an interview with Nardwuar the Human Serviette, the concept can be a little bit confusing.
One of the most respected Canadian interviewers out there, Nardwuar’s charm comes from his excessive amount of research that he puts into his discussions, along with his penchant for giving his subjects some rather esoteric gifts. (Think of a charitable Andrew Denton, for a local comparison.)
Over the years, plenty of acts (such as King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard) have given Nardwuar exactly the sort of good-natured response he hopes to achieve. Others, such as Henry Rollins, Sonic Youth, and Blur, have entered the hall of shame for their confrontational or bizarre antics.
Last year though, Nardwuar attempted to interview US rapper Lil Uzi Vert, but things quickly went south.
Revealing he was on “legal” ecstasy, Lil Uzi appeared shaken by the interviewer’s knowledge, explaining that he “knows too much”, before escaping the discussion as Nardwuar attempts to continue the chat through a car window as the rapper speeds away.
Now, Nardwuar has given it another shot.
Check out Lil Uzi Vert’s previous interview with Nardwuar:
Catching up with Lil Uzi Vert as Miami’s troubled Rolling Loud Festival, Nardwuar kicks off proceedings by giving the rapper a car air freshener designed in his own likeness, and a copy of Stetsasonic’s ‘Talkin’ All That Jazz’ single.
However, while discussing a stage dive at the Rolling Loud Festival, Lil Uzi quickly makes a run for it, causing Narduwar to give chase in hopes of getting the rapper to complete his iconic catchphrase – a verbal recitation of ‘Shave And A Haircut’.
While Nardwuar isn’t initially successful in getting the rapper to take part, he does manage to catch Lil Uzi before he takes off, finishing the catchphrase from a window of a waiting car.
In related news, Lil Uzi Vert has revealed his long-delayed Eternal Atake album has been completed, though he has offered up no information as to when it might finally see the light of day.
