Birdman is trending after a viral video appeared to show him dozing off on stage during the Hot Boys reunion tour in North Carolina on February 23. The clip, which has been widely shared on social media, captured the rapper standing motionless with his head down and holding onto a microphone while fellow group member Turk performed.
B.G., another member of the Hot Boys, noticed Birdman’s stillness and tapped him on the shoulder, laughing as he tried to wake him up. Birdman eventually continued with the performance, but the moment left fans speculating about his condition.

Others were more skeptical, suggesting something else might have been going on. "Birdman not flying in that weather," one user joked. Another commented, "He might be on stage physically, but his head is way up there in the clouds." Another fan added, "This n**a had a relapse, he ain't fall asleep."*
Yeah, sure, fell asleep.

This isn’t the first time Birdman has made headlines during the reunion tour. At a Florida show on February 21, Lil Wayne was seen cutting him off mid-speech, urging him to move on by saying, "Alright, let's go, let's go, let's go." The Hot Boys' reunion has been a long time coming, with previous delays due to past tensions between members.
While Birdman has not addressed the viral moment, fans continue to debate whether he was truly asleep or if something else was at play. The Hot Boys tour is set to conclude on February 28 in St. Louis, with Juvenile, B.G., and Turk all joining Birdman on stage for the final shows.
