Rapper Iggy Azalea experienced aterrifying moment on Thursday as one of her back-up dancers suffered a seizure during her concert, reports People.com. But more importantly, Iggy faced a flurry of criticism for not stopping the concert and finishing the song while the dancer fell down on stage. The singer was unaware of what was happening and took awhile before calling the medic. According to her, she thought the dancer had just twisted her ankle and felt obligated to continue singing as long as the music played.
The Fancy singer put out a statement on Instagram defending her decision to continue the show, and said, “Just want to let everyone asking know my dancer is OKAY! The light & heat caused her to have a seizure. She is backstage feeling much better. We are all really shaken up by what happened & just thankful she is okay. I know it’s easy to make memes of someone “passed out” but someone having a seizure isn’t funny, it’s really scary! So I hope my fans do not repost some of the memes i’m seeing about my dancer (sic)”
