[@shehs]

Yeah he is representing Australia

[@jayceonronwin9248]

He’s not representing Australia at all. Australia is ashamed of him and he’s ashamed of Australia otherwise he wouldn’t put on an American accent when he raps

[@Bytebursstt]

@@jayceonronwin9248 are you dumb? Or just ignorant? If you have watched any other talks with laroi you would know he talked about how he grew up listening to American rappers so he has always sung / rapped in that accent.

Dacksy you must have not seen any of the hundreds of interviews with drugged up rappers who can barely stay awake during their interviews

[@AlxFrangos]

John Schmidt doesn’t make him a good talker lol

[@InfinitySpore]

@@CredituR that's got nothing to do with him being well-spoken, just because you can understand what he's saying. Being well-spoken is having an extensive vocabulary and utmost confidence when speaking about a topic without constant rehearsal.
