The Vancouver Canucks weren’t the only ones who stumbled during Thursday night’s game against the Dallas Stars.
Juno-nominated rapper bbno$ – pronounced “baby no money” – was performing on skates when he tumbled onto the ice at Rogers Arena.
Social media video of the incident, posted by bbno$ after the game, shows the artist briefly continuing to rap on his back before the music cuts out.
“Ladies and gentleman, my name is bbno$,” he tells the crowd. “This is my brand new song called ‘Lil Freak.’”
The rapper – whose real name is Alexander Leon Gumuchian, and grew up in Vancouver – then continues performing as a circle of backup dancers skate around him in a circle.
A previous single from bbno$ and Y2K, “Lalala,” peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 and number 55 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The Canucks went on to lose 3-1 to the Stars on Thursday, allowing Dallas to clinch a playoff spot while Vancouver will have to wait for another game.
