Nigerian dancehall star Timaya gave fans at the Gbaramatu Christmas Carnival an unexpected moment of drama after he slipped and fell on stage during his performance in Delta State.

The incident happened while the singer was performing his popular track “Ukwu” and invited a plus-sized female fan onto the stage.

The fall briefly stunned the crowd, but the moment quickly turned into excitement as Timaya rose to his feet almost immediately. Showing resilience and professionalism, he brushed off the mishap and continued his set, drawing loud cheers and applause from the audience.

The clip has sparked widespread reactions online, with fans praising the singer’s composure and sense of humour in handling the unexpected slip during the energetic carnival performance.
