Rod Wave was the victim of a stage intruder at one of his recent shows, but the culprit ended up slipping away before security could get ahold of them.
The “Heart On Ice” singer was de-escalating under the stage to finish off his set when a courageous fan hopped on stage briefly and then was chased off by security but they escaped into the sea of fans in the crowd before he could be apprehended.
Wave had his back turned and appeared not to realize the fan made their way onto the stage. The clip quickly went viral with another fan’s hilarious commentary: “Oh my goodness! [Screams] Oh my goodness!”
Since he was rocking a Baltimore Ravens Lamar Jackson No. 8 jersey, it appears this all took place Saturday night (November 4) during his CFG Bank Arena show in B-More.
Watch the video below:
Rod Wave went viral last month for transforming into a stuntman on tour. The Florida native channeled the inner-WWE wrestler in him when climbing up a stage railing and falling backwards over 10-plus feet into a pad which then filled with smoke.
Jack Harlow joined Wave to perform the falling stunt during his Louisville show last month. The soul-trap originator is known for falling through the stage at various times — although the last time it happened, it was entirely unplanned.
Back in 2020, Rod Wave was set to perform at Morris Brown College for a concert on Halloween — but the stage had other plans.
Flocked by a massive crew behind him, the crooner entered the auditorium of the Historically Black College and University to a thunderous ovation from fans in attendance. Seconds later, the stage buckled and collapsed, prompting Rod to stumble as others behind him fell in the newly created crater.
On the musical side of things, Rod Wave recently celebrated his album, Nostalgia, becoming his third No. 1 album, while waxing poetic about how rap music saved his life.
Nostalgia debuted atop the Billboard 200 on the chart dated September 30 with 137,000 album equivalent units sold. Taking to his Instagram Story amid the feat, the Florida native took a moment to praise rap.
“I don’t know, man – I just feel so blessed to be in this position. So thankful,” he said. “This rap shit saved my fucking life. Y’all don’t understand. I been doing this shit since a teenager, boy. Since I was ’bout 18 I been doing this shit.”
He continued: “I seen so much shit. I don’t even remember what it feel like not being a rapper, you know what I’m saying? Thank y’all, man. For real.”
