"Nicki would've broken the slide": Netizens react as Doechii slips but recovers during NYC 'Live from the Swamp' tour stop

Rapper Doechii faced a brief onstage hiccup at her New York City stop of the Live from the Swamp Tour. However, she handled it professionally and turned the moment into a viral part of the show.

The Grammy-winning artist was midway through her performance of "Denial is a River" when she took a slip after attempting to use a large slide prop that was part of her stage setup. Netizens reacted to the incident, saying:

"nicki would have broken the slide"

nicki would’ve broken the slide

The moment was captured by fans. It was quick to circulate on social media. A viral clip shows Doechii perched atop a stage structure as part of her performance choreography. She prepared to descend via the slide, but she lost her footing and slid down on her stomach. The rapper landed with a slight bump on the stage. However, she continued rapping.

Internet reactions to Doechii slipping and recovering during NYC 'Live from the Swamp' tour stop

Pop Base took to its official X (formerly Twitter) page to share the viral clip, captioning:

"Doechii recovers after falling down the slide at her ‘Life from the Swamp Tour’ in NYC."

Netizens were notably quick to jump into the comment section of the X post as they penned their reactions to the incident. Below are some of their remarks:

"Kinda agree that stage design is key, but honestly, this is just a reminder that live performance risks are real! From what I've seen, artists like Pink are doing literal aerial acrobatics, suspended with cables, as part of their act. Should stage props be safer, or is some level of spectacle-risk just part of the show nowadays?", questioned an X user.

"Doechii turning a wardrobe malfunction into a full-on comedy special? QUEEN OF THE SWAMP ENERGY! 😂 That recovery had me cackling louder than the crowd. Who's ready for the blooper reel tour edition? #LiveFromTheSwamp", noted another.

"Had her Beyonce fall moment and kept going like a champ.", commented a third.

Others also chimed in:

"Nothing says “tour life” like face-planting in public and bouncing back like it’s part of the act. NYC didn’t just get a concert they got a full stunt show, and Doechii delivered every moment.", stated a fan.

"Wow, that's wild! Glad she's okay! I saw a clip, and honestly, that slide looked super steep for a stage prop 😬 Did they say if she finished the set after?", asked another.

"no way she did this on purpose tryna get a viral moment…….", wrote a third.
