Recording artist August Alsina took the stage Sunday night at Irving Plaza in New York City, then collapsed on stage in the middle of his performance.

Alsina’s body seemed to go limp and he fell off the stage and into the crowd, a scary moment captured in fan videos uploaded to Instagram and YouTube.

The online clips show security rushing to his aid and asking to cut the music.

Security brought Alsina backstage, where paramedics later loaded him into an ambulance. The star was alert enough to wave to fans from a stretcher.

Beyond that, it’s unclear what happened to BET’s Best New Artist of 2014.

The reason behind the 22-year-old’s sudden fall is unknown at this time, as his reps did not immediately issue any comments on his condition or the incident.

Earlier Sunday, the up-and-coming August had released the official music video for his "No Love (Remix)," featuring Nicki Minaj, off his Testimony album.

We wish him a full and speedy recovery, whatever happened …
