One of Iggy Azalea's backup dancers suffered a seizure right on stage.
Iggy was playing at Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, and all of a sudden you see the dancer on the floor violently shaking. Iggy asks for a medic and keeps performing, then stops as people tend to the dancer. An ambulance eventually drove on to the stage and took the woman away to get further treatment.
Iggy — who recently signed a new deal — addressed the incident on social media afterward and said the seizure was triggered by the heat and lights on stage. She also answered those who criticized her for not stopping the show when the dancer collapsed. Iggy said at first she thought the woman just twisted her ankle or something.
"It feels like anything I do becomes an opportunity for people to tell me why I'm shit, why my music sucks, my clothes are ugly, why I don't matter or why I'm a horrible person," she wrote. "I'm worn down."Everyone is just trying to make it through their day. Could we be a little kinder to each other? Seeing how much people enjoy being awful to one another is depressing."
How do you think Iggy responded to her dancer's seizure?
