Jason Derulo may like to talk dirty, but he keeps it clean on stage — even when he takes a spill. The R&B-pop star fell during his performance at Capital’s Summertime Ball in London Saturday (June 6), but recovered like a pro.
In videos now circulating after the weekend event, Derulo’s feet slip out from under him, causing him to tumble forward off of a raised platform on stage at Wembley Stadium. With the visible momentum of his fall, he could’ve easily been injured, but the musician was instead able to catch himself with his hands on the platform behind him before steadying into a crouch position.
After taking just a second to recover, smiling self-effacingly at the audience members in front of him, Derulo — who boasts two Billboard Hot 100 No. 1s with 2009’s “Watcha Say” and 2020’s “Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat)” with Jawsh — then stood back up and carried on with the show.
Later, the musician posted a fan video of the close call on TikTok and joked in the comments, “How I fall for you every time.”
He may have been referencing the viral decade-old hoax that he fell down the Met Gala steps in 2015. Though it was debunked, with the so-called reference photo turning out to be an entirely different person falling years prior at the Cannes Film Festival, the meme resurfaces just about every year around the first Monday in May.
Derulo was one of many major stars who performed in London at the annual Capital event. He took the stage in between sets from Niall Horan, Robyn, RAYE, Lola Young, Sienna Spiro, Calvin Harris and more.
Derulo’s EP The Last Dance (Part 1) dropped in January.
