It looks like all of Nav's hard work has finally paid off. Earlier this week, the rapper sat down with Pitchfork for a new interview where he spoke on his new project, Bad Habits, and his thoughts on fame. The rapper admitted that he feels hurt whenever the paparazzi ignore him when he hops in his sick Lambo truck. However, with the release of his latest album Bad Habits, he was hoping that they would finally notice him.
"Fame is something I want, it’s a good problem to have. I’m still not there, because when I walk out of fucking Delilah in L.A. and TMZ will be standing out there with cameras and not even take a picture of me, I get sick," he said. "I get in my fucking Lambo truck right in front of them. All my jewelry on and they don’t even take one picture."
His wishes have finally come true. After that bit from the interview spread across the internet, the good folks at TMZ finally spotted the rapper in New York who finally felt the fame he's been dreaming of this whole time
"We made it mom! I love y'all, man. I appreciate it," He told the cameraman. "It's amazing to be in front of the camera, man."
