A new video making rounds across social media platforms has revealed how Nigerian musical star Timaya experienced an unexpected moment during his performance at the Gbaramatu Christmas Carnival in Delta State, Nigeria.
While thrilling the audience with his popular hit “Ukwu,” the veteran singer, who first trended widely in the mid‑2000s, invited a plus‑sized female fan on stage, only to lose his balance and fell while trying to lift the big nyansh lady.
The incident caught on video and widely shared across platforms, saw Timaya quickly recover and continue his set to cheers from the crowd, underscoring both his professionalism and the unpredictable nature of live shows.
Timaya is 42 years old and has over two decades of experience in the music industry. Social media users used the moment to jokingly remark on the toll of age on even seasoned performers, a reminder that even icons like Timaya can find themselves in humorous situations while connecting with fans.
Just like many performers before him, the "Dem Mama" hit maker fell on stage is not an uncommon occurrence in the world of live music.
In 2014, Nicki Minaj experienced a similar moment when she tripped over stage equipment during a high energy performance, quickly regaining her composure to continue the show.
