On Friday night, rapper Busta Rhymes accidentally busted something other than rhymes. 

During a New York City show at Webster Hall featuring fellow rapper O.T. Genasis, Busta was very much living in the moment: He even lit up a cigar. But as the build of O.T. Genasis’s hit single “CoCo” rose to a climax and Busta started headbanging, he took a tumble forward and into the crowd. 

While some people are calling this a stagedive, it is decidedly not. The centrifugal force of his chain, coupled with his passion for music, life, and cigars, might be to blame. Thankfully this clip has the slow-motion replay. 

(Sorry, this embed was not found.)

Busta sustained a gash to his head, but assured his fans everything was in check. 

Words to live by, really.
