Rapper Doechii slips on stage slide mid-performance in NYC but impressively continues rapping without missing a beat

Rapper Doechii experienced a brief mishap during her recent New York City performance but recovered quickly and kept the energy high throughout the show. The incident occurred during the East Coast stop of her Life from the Swamp Tour, where the Grammy-winning artist was performing her track Denial is a River atop a large stage set.

As seen in a video shared by a pop culture-focused X account, Doechii attempted to descend using a slide attached to the elevated platform. However, she lost her footing and unintentionally slid down on her stomach, landing butt-first in front of the audience. Despite the fall, Doechii never missed a lyric, seamlessly continuing her performance and laughing off the moment as she rejoined the crowd on stage.

One X user commented, “This is just a reminder that live performance risks are real,” while another praised, “Doechii turning a wardrobe malfunction into a full-on comedy special? QUEEN OF THE SWAMP ENERGY!”

Others applauded her professionalism. “She didn’t let a little slide stop the show. The Swamp Princess bounced right back,” wrote one fan. Another added, “Her laugh after getting up just said, ‘we fall, we slay, we get back up.’”

Though the slide’s steepness sparked some concerns about stage safety, Doechii’s quick recovery reassured fans. “NYC didn’t just get a concert, they got a full stunt show,” one user joked.

Despite the minor slip, Doechii completed her set without further issue, proving her resilience and stage presence as a live performer remain unmatched.
