“Sorry but it would be a crime not to share this with you all, I know I laughed,” posted the Australian. Vulture later uncovered a Vine of the fall filmed from a closer perspective.

Security guards quickly helped Azalea back on stage and she went on to finish her set. The performance was a part of a VMA benefit gig in support of Lifebeat – Music Fights HIV/AIDS, a non-profit organisation focused on educating America’s youth about HIV/AIDS prevention.
The fall follows an incident that occurred on Friday (August 22) when a backing dancer for Nicki Minaj was bitten by a snake during a VMA performance rehearsal of her new single ‘Anaconda’. The dancer was treated for the wound on site before being taken to hospital. A replacement snake will now be used during Minaj’s set.
The VMAs take place tonight (August 24) at the Inglewood Forum in California. Performers include Usher, Maroon 5 and 5 Seconds Of Summer.
