<\/p>\nMachine Gun Kelly has responded to backlash following his ‘awkward interview’ with Sky Sports’ Martin Brundle\u00a0at the Brazilian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
The American rapper, 33, also known as Colson Baker, was stopped by the racing driver-turned-broadcaster for a gridwalk interview before Sunday’s race.<\/p>\n
The unlikely duo engaged in conversation for a two-minute chat filled with awkward pauses, leading to MGK eventually storming away from an embarrassed Brundle, 64.<\/p>\n
The pair did not gel from the start, but things took a turn for the worse after MGK initiated a live ‘air guitar and piano’ session with the straight-laced broadcaster.<\/p>\n
The cringe-worthy clip led to fans branding the moment the ‘most awkward interview ever’.<\/p>\n

Grand Prix: The American rapper, 33, also known as Colson Baker, was stopped by the racing driver-turned-broadcaster for a gridwalk interview before Sunday’s race<\/p>\n
Machine Gun Kelly has now responded to the incident, by penning on Twitter: ‘My vibe is ‘the worst’ how? because someone put a microphone in my face essentially forcing me to do a random interview when I was just trying to enjoy an event?\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Because car engines were so loud I couldn’t hear him? please tell me more about why I’m the worst.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a separate tweet, he added: ‘My anxiety has won. I hate being in public.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
The chat initially seemed to go smoothly, as the musician said he was ‘honoured’ to be attending the race, which was eventually won by Max Verstappen .<\/p>\n
The first hints of awkwardness came when he reached over to fiddle with the broadcaster’s pin, with Brundle explaining: ‘… That’s a poppy.’<\/p>\n
They soon hit another hurdle when Brundle asked: ‘What’s going on with your career at the moment?’<\/p>\n
Machine Gun Kelly unhelpfully responded with: ‘My career… I don’t think about my career. I don’t think about it,’ effectively ending the line of conversation.<\/p>\n
Clearly stumped, Brundle responded: ‘Well good luck with it, whatever you do.’<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
In a separate tweet, he added: ‘My anxiety has won. I hate being in public.’<\/p>\n
After picking up the pace a little with some chat about F1 and music, the worst was yet to come after MGK initiated a live ‘air guitar and piano’ session with the former driver.<\/p>\n
He said: ‘Can you give me your best air guitar?’<\/p>\n
But his interviewer was clearly embarrassed and said: ‘No there’s millions [of people watching]. You do it!<\/p>\n
‘Uh no, I can’t. I learnt the piano once and I learnt the middle C and that was about it.’<\/p>\n
Kelly, however, was determined not to give up. He continued: ‘Give me your best air piano!<\/p>\n
‘Let’s do an air guitar and air piano collaboration right no! Come on! 3, 2, 1… I need keys I need keys!’<\/p>\n
But a flustered and panicked Brundle made his excuses: ‘I can’t do it! I probably need to get on as there’s some people I need to see.’<\/p>\n
Left furious by his lack of participation, MGK gave the camera a thumbs down and stormed away, shaking his head.<\/p>\n
Martin scurried off in the other direction, telling the camera: ‘Something tells me I won’t be on his Christmas card list this year.’<\/p>\n
After watching the excruciating clip, fans did not hold back as they took to social media.<\/p>\n
One called it: ‘THE MOST awkwaaarrd interview EVEEEEERRRRR’, while another said: ‘Classic cringe’.<\/p>\n

A third said: ‘That was properly awkward ! I don’t think it was Martin either !’<\/p>\n
It is not the first time poor Brundle has been left in a sticky situation by an A-list celebrity.<\/p>\n
In July, Cara Delevingne gave him short shrift when he approached her with a Sky Sports F1 microphone.<\/p>\n
In the clip, with the Red Arrows roaring above, Brundle spots Delevingne nearby but is quickly told by an apparent security aide that ‘she doesn’t want to talk’.<\/p>\n
Unperturbed, the racer-turned-broadcaster is clearly keen to get his chat anyway, saying: ‘That’s the deal now, everybody talks on the grid.<\/p>\n
As he moves closer to try and make the interview happen, Delevingne’s face turns to a grimace but he blusters on, saying: ‘Can we have a quick chat at Sky F1? Good to see you on the grid.’<\/p>\n
The supermodel, wearing a black trouser suit with a matching bra underneath and a black baseball cap, gives a curt ‘no’, shaking her head, before repeating ‘no’.<\/p>\n
Clearly frustrated, Brundle tells her: ‘The deal is everybody has to speak on the grid…’<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Awkward again: It comes after an equally awkward moment with Cara Delevingne in July\u00a0<\/p>\n
She responds, not making eye contact and looking away, saying: ‘I can’t hear anything, sorry.’<\/p>\n
Unimpressed, Brundle replies with more than a hint of sarcasm, telling viewers: ‘Okay, well, I’m sure it would have been extremely interesting’ at which point the model offered a thumb’s up to the camera.<\/p>\n
Many of those watching the clip were outraged by her response to Brundle, although some said she had the right to say no to being interviewed on camera.<\/p>\n
One wrote: ‘This man deserves more respect by celebrities. Why show up to F1 if you don’t want to be spoken to?’<\/p>\n
