Rapper Birdman took the posture of high fentanyl users when he knocked out while still standing in the middle of a stage performance at the Hot Boys reunion tour in North Carolina on February 23.
Videos that have been making waves on social media showed the Cash Money Records boss slouching forward and asleep, his head dropping to the ground, and his hands holding the mic while still standing. Watch below:
Even when a member of the rap group, B.G., noticed what was happening and walked up to him to revive him, Birdman stood passed out. The fellow rapper seemed to be laughing at him while another singer, Turk, continued.
Birdman’s standing and knocked-out posture is very similar to what is seen in drug users who stand and fall alseep on the streets after getting super high on drugs like fentanyl. Many such cases are seen in these footages captured to show the effect of hard drugs on people, especially the homeless ones.
Though he eventually got himself and continued with the performance, it did not stop the comment section from erupting.
Fans wondered what drug he was high on and thought he was getting too old for the game and should probably retire. Others thought he might have experienced a medical episode, such as a seizure, and needed care. Others thought he was fully aware and was merely consumed by the heat of the moment that he retorted to just bend over and seemingly nodding his head.
The Hot Boys rap group made waves from 1997 and Birdman, Lil Wayne, Juvenile, B.G., and Turk that started with their first album Get It How U Live!in 1997.
