Singer Doechii suffered a toe-curling calamity at her show after falling down a slide, after her heel got caught. She was singing her hit “Denial is a River” on Monday night at Madison Square Garden in New York City, wearing little more than lingerie and heels, when she approached the slide. Just after starting down it she jolted, seemingly catching something which TMZ reports to have been her shoe. She then slipped round onto her front, squeaking down the slide before being dumped on the floor in a salmon-like fashion. She exhibited professionalism, however, by instantly getting up and continuing the show. The Tampa, Florida, native’s popularity exploded in 2021, signing with Top Dawg Entertainment and Capitol Records the following year. In July, the virtuoso rapper played the world-famous Glastonbury Festival in the U.K. The “Anxiety” singer, 27, has also enjoyed huge success on streaming services, with scores of her tracks receiving hundreds of millions of plays on Spotify. In February, she became only the third woman to win a Grammy for Best Rap Album.
