Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck’s performance turned into a scary encounter on Saturday when the stage unexpectedly collapsed.
According to reports, the incident happened in SoL Beach, Elegushi area of Lagos State on December 21 when Odumodublvck and his crew were carrying out an electrifying performance.
The moment was captured in a viral video, showing the rapper falling as the structure gave way beneath him.
The collapse caused panic among concertgoers, who scrambled for safety as the structure gave way. While the extent of injuries remains unclear, videos shared on social media revealed the dramatic moment, leaving many questioning the event’s safety protocols.
Witnesses quickly took to social media to share videos and accounts of the incident, expressing concern for the rapper and others on stage. Following the latest incident, critics urge the organisers to prioritise safety and invest in better structural designs and crowd management strategies to avoid repeat occurrences. As of this report, the organisers have not addressed the situation publicly.
The event was organised by Nativeland and featured performances by Bloody Civilian, Ayanfe, DJ Tunez, Zerrydl, ThisizLondon, and Grammy Award winner, Wizkid who also made an appearance.
Unfortunately, this incident marks yet another stage-related mishap for Nativeland, as the brand faced a similar issue, including VIP stage collapse, crowd trouble, and allegations of police brutality.
In December 2019, a VIP platform at the Muri Okunola Park in Lagos gave way due to overcrowding, sparking criticism over event safety and management.
