Nardwuar stays true to the game.

Nardwuar has a tendency of creeping out his interview subjects with his vast knowledge of their lives. While some artists have come to appreciate Nardwuar's research, others have suddenly left the interviews (i.e. Kid Cudi). One of Nardwuar's most notable interviews in recent times has been with Lil Uzi Vert. Now, we know Uzi and Nardwuar are both eccentric but it seems like it's an overload of their anomalous ways whenever they link up. Nardwuar recently caught up with Uzi after the rapper's Rolling Loud set in Miami and things were got even weirder this time around.

If you recall, the last time Nardwuar interviewed Lil Uzi Vert, the rapper ran out abruptly. "Yo, he know too much," Uzi said after Nardwuar asked him about Guns Garcia. "I can't do this. What Kanye do?" He asked off camera before running out of the interview, making Nardwuar chase him down for a final "Doot! Doot!"

The second time around was no different. This time around, the interview ran even shorter. Nardwuar gifted Uzi a car-freshener shaped out of the rapper's head. He later inquired about DJ P Forreal's father, Prince Paul of Stesasonic, before inquiring about Uzi's love for Lorna Shore. Lil Uzi, once again, ran away, making Nardwuar chase him down to complete the interview.
