Singer and rapper Rod Wave was performing at the Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Nebraska as a part of his Nostalgia Tour on October 19, 2023. While performing the heartbreak ballad, Come See Me, the singer seemed to take its lyrics literally as he jumped off a fake balcony on the stage. The 25-year-old singer's fall was cushioned by boxes below the balcony and he didn't appear to be injured.
The onstage stunt, captured on video, has since gone viral, resulting in memes flooding the socials in response. They claimed that the singer "keeps falling through stages" with others saying that he wasn't "Jeff Hardy."
