Songwriter-producer Omer Fedi, a close friend and collaborator, says LAROI will often call from outside his house or hotel, eager to ride go-karts or head to a nearby Dave & Buster’s.
Cheese, that he can dive into during breaks on music video sets. His rider (an artist’s set of requests for a host upon arrival) includes a ball pit, à la Chuck E. This spur-of-the-moment jaunt isn’t out of character for LAROI - keeping up with his good-natured spontaneity is simply what it means to be a part of his inner circle these days. Rows of small clocks with celebrity headshots as their faces line the walls, and LAROI points to one of Macaulay Culkin making his famous open-mouthed Home Alone poster face. He orders like a regular, asking for his usual - a flavor called Foxy Brown involving mocha, a sea salt caramel swirl and crushed chocolate wafer cookies - before bonding with the cramped space’s currently lone worker about how they both recently turned 18. But at the last minute, The Kid LAROI - the Australian rapper-singer born Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard - says he would rather hit up Mikey Likes It Ice Cream, a shop in Manhattan’s East Village that he has visited three times since arriving in New York last weekend. It’s a Wednesday in September, and we had planned to grab a late lunch in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The Kid decided he wanted ice cream instead.
