Nelly was shaken but not injured on Saturday night when an excited fan pulled him off the stage during a concert in Palm Springs, California.
In video posted by TMZ, the rapper is seen walking along the edge of the stage and touching the hands of fans. Suddenly he’s yanked forward, causing him to tumble off the stage and knocking his sunglasses off.
Nelly, 45, landed on his feet and security guards rushed to his aid – but he seemed to take it in stride.

Back on stage, Nelly chastised the overzealous fan. “You can’t pull me, shorty. I appreciate it, but I’m on the edge of the stage,” he said. “If you pull me, I ain’t got nowhere to go!”
He urged security not to eject the fan. “Don’t put her out, she’s good,” he said. “She did it out of love. It’s all good. Whoever did it, they did it out of love, it’s all good.”
