Chris Brown won't forget his recent gig in New Jersey.
The Look At Me Now rapper certainly had all eyes on him this Wednesday after he was left dangling in an apparent stage stunt gone wrong. Footage captured the moment he became suspended above the crowd at Newark's Prudential Center earlier this week.
He was performing his hit track Under the Influence when everything went wrong, appearing to look panicked as he desperately signalled for help. Crew were forced to pause the show, using a large ladder to bring the 35-year-old back down to the ground.

After footage went viral, fans couldn't believe what they were seeing, with one joking: "I like how he’s just hanging there like an angry fairy." Someone else said: "This man was hanging for a long ass time before anyone realized he was stuck." A third admitted: "He handled it SO professionally. definitely a safety hazard they shouldn't got him quicker."
"Just dangling like a Christmas ornament," another quipped. Addressing Chris' anger, one said: "I don’t blame him .. things happen however as my staff get my down as soon as you see something is off ! .. they took too long got him just dangling there like a car air freshener on a mirror." Another concluded: "That's like a super awkward position to be stuck in lol literally just left hanging there while a ton of people just looking at you lmfao I woulda been pi--ed too." Someone added: "That's scary, I'd be pi--ed off too."
The incident comes after Chris' recent controversy over his tour meet and greet and its eye-watering prices. Those who want a VIP session to meet and get a photo with the star have to fork out a cool $1,111 (£873). And it seems like people are making it worth their time by pulling out some racy poses.
Pictures have been circulating online of Chris' snaps with fans. In some, he can be seen grabbing women's rears, while in others he is seen picking them up, giving them piggybacks and even mimicking sexual positions. Many have been shocked by the saucy snaps, while others couldn't believe the heft price tag for them.
One wrote on X: "Wow $1,111 for that? What!" While another added: "My girl looked at me sideways when I asked her to put something on the rent but gave Chris Brown $1,111." A third chimed in: "Won't go 50/50 with her man but $1,111 for a C BREEZY butt grab and a pic." While a fourth exclaimed: "Oh y’all getting y’all money’s worth."
