Whether it was too much excitement or the darkness of the room, one thing is clear: the newly crowned winner of The Hustle knows what it means to get up whenever you fall... literally!
Flex Rabayeezy walked away victorious on Monday night. And while he got love on social media, he's already experienced what it's like to fall in the public eye.
While on stage for the winner's performance, Flex lost his footing and fell.
Oops.
"I was just too excited and put my foot where there was no stage. I get really excited when I perform. I really get into the moment and don’t see much. I wasn’t looking and I fell," he told TshisaLIVE.
We guess a R250,000 cash prize, a record deal and a car is enough to make anything lose their footing. Flex took it in his stride and pulled off a young nae nae.
"It’s not like I fell on my face or anything. I just stumbled and landed on my feet because I used to play soccer and my balance is the sh*t. I kind of straightened myself out and got back on stage. I heard the gasps from the crowd but I was focused on the music," Flex told TshisaLIVE.
