Nigerian music veteran Timaya has become the center of a viral social media moment after a stage mishap during his performance at the Gbaramatu Christmas Carnival in Delta State.
The incident occurred while the “Dem Mama” crooner was delivering an energetic rendition of his hit song, Ukwu, a track known for celebrating dance and physical expression.
The Viral Incident
In a bid to heighten the energy of the show, Timaya invited a plus-sized lady onto the stage to dance with him. The momentum shifted unexpectedly when the singer attempted to lift the lady; however, he lost his balance, and both Timaya and the fan ended up crashing to the ground.
Despite the heavy fall, the singer demonstrated his years of professional experience by bouncing back up almost immediately. He continued his performance without missing a beat, turning what could have been an embarrassing moment into a display of resilience that sent the crowd into a frenzy.
Social Media Reaction
Footage of the fall quickly surfaced online, triggering a wave of reactions across platforms like X and Instagram. While some fans expressed concern for his well-being, the majority of the discussion was lighthearted:
- Fan Laughter: Many users shared the video with humorous captions, laughing at the “unexpected twist” and Timaya’s ambitious attempt.
- Praise for Resilience: Other fans commended the singer for his high-energy stage presence and his ability to keep the show going despite the physical toll of the fall.
The Gbaramatu Christmas Carnival remains one of the highlights of the festive season in Delta State, and Timaya’s memorable—if slightly chaotic—performance is likely to be a major talking point for the remainder of the year.
