His fellow Hot Boyz members soon realize what is happening and rub the rapper’s shirt, eventually waking him from his slumber.
Fans speculated in the comments as to what could have been going on with Birdman on stage.
“You gotta be super high to nod off on stage with all that music and screaming and yelling in there,” one viewer wrote.
“That is NOT sleep and you fools know this!! Wayne was doing the same thing!!! This is STONED and there is nothing funny or okay about it,” another wrote. “So busy crying about some Super Bowl performance!! There were rumors of these DRUG STUPORS and now we are seeing LIVE VIDEO. Somebody help them! Who cares about fame!! Care about lives.”
Birdman has yet to publicly address the comments but his fans want confirmation that the music executive is okay.
