Every performer’s mission is to bring the house down. Rod Wave seems to have started with the stage, according to reports.
The stage at the rapper’s concert collapsed beneath his feet as he and his crew were preparing to perform in Atlanta on Saturday night, TMZ reported. Video of the incident circulated on social media over the weekend.
The musician, whose full name is Rodarius Marcell Green, was due to perform at a Halloween concert at Morris Brown College. A concert flyer on Eventbrite, however, indicates the concert was to take place at eXcitesports on Walnut Street, an esports venue across from the school. Though the building was once part of the college, Morris Brown officials told AJC.com they were not affiliated with the event. An eXcitesports representative deferred all questions to their legal team as well as the concert promoter.
According to TMZ, the “Rags 2 Riches” rapper and his crew were walking onto the stage after being introduced by the venue when the floor beneath the group collapsed mid-stride.
Rod Wave narrowly avoided falling through the stage, but others in the group were not so fortunate. The concert was canceled, TMZ reported.
It is not clear if the collapse resulted in any serious injuries. Atlanta police and fire officials said they did not respond to the incident.
