Normani has pulled out of her scheduled performance at the BET Awards due to injury.
The former Fifth Harmony member was scheduled to perform at the BET Awards on Sunday night (June 30) in the US. However, less than an hour before the show aired, the singer shared on social media that she would be unable to perform “on doctor’s orders”.
In the first of two posts on her Instagram Stories, Normani wrote: “I’m more frustrated and disappointed than anyone, believe me. I wanted to continue here and give you an update to let you know that while rehearsing for BET I had a very bad accident and injured myself. I am normally good at performing under all circumstances, but unfortunately, due to my doctor’s orders, I am simply not able to achieve this performance.
She added that playing through the injury would “delay” her recovery. In a follow-up post, she shared a photo of herself walking on crutches with her foot in a walking boot and her knee bandaged. The current severity of the injury and how it was sustained are unknown.
Last month, Normani released her long-awaited debut album, “Dopamine.” She teased the record in January, calling it “literally the best music I’ve ever made” and later describing it as “a representation of[her]evolution.”
Nick Levine wrote about “Dopamine” in a four-star review for ZikNation:“It may have taken six years, but “Dopamine” feels like the (damn) album Normani was supposed to make all along. »
