‘Dat Boi Quick Aint It?’: Chris Brown Shows Fans How to Recover from a Fall

Chris Brown showed fans how to recover from a fall in style after he took a tumble during his latest concert. 

The singer posted a video onto Instagram where he can be seen preparing for his next dance move when he slips and falls on his back. However, Brown quickly recovered from the fall by front flipping back up and swiftly sliding back into the choreography.

“This is how you recover [laughing emojis]. Dat boi quick ain’t it?” Brown wrote for his caption. 

Many fans applauded Brown’s speedy improvisation skills and noted they didn’t even realize he unintentionally took the tumble. 

“Amazing! I never even noticed the slip!”

“This is what professionalism is.”

“My baby so smooth with it!” 

Chris Brown has been performing for over 15 years, and he has experience with being quick on his feet when an unexpected incident occurs. This also isn’t the first time Chris has taken a tumble on stage while performing. 

In 2011, while performing one of his singles, “Beautiful People,” during his concert in Indianapolis, the singer slipped as he was making his way down an elevated stage. Like the pro he is, Brown made it look intentional as he hastily got back up and continued dancing with his dance crew. 

While showing off his Michael Jackson–like dance moves as he was celebrating his 26th birthday back in 2015, the “Go Crazy” singer went a little too crazy and spun off the stage into the crowd of swarming fans. This time around, Brown couldn’t just  play it off cooly. Instead, he needed to be pulled up out of the crowd by numerous security guards. 

Musicians take falls all the time while performing, and Brown is just one of many celebrities who have been caught taking a tumble. However, he is one of few who can hop right back into his choreography and act like nothing happened. 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
