British rapper Slowthai was filmed being restrained by several security guards after a heated confrontation with a fan during the NME Awards on February 12.

The musician had been making sexual comments to presenter Katherine Ryan and a member of the audience reportedly accused him of being misogynistic.

Slowthai attempted to jump into the crowd after a drink was thrown at him but security quickly restrained rapper and dragged the fan away.

Olivia Williams, who filmed this video, told Newsflare: "He’d just thrown the drink and the glass smashed right in front of me so I moved back.

"I am a Slowthai fan! Although maybe not so much now."
