Busta Rhymes says he’s OK after falling off stage, gashing head

Rapper Busta Rhymes suffered a gash on his head that left his face bloodied after he fell off the stage during a concert in New York.

Rhymes, born Trevor Smith Jr., was bobbing his head to the beat on the crowded stage in the early-morning hours Friday when he accidentally tumbled over the edge.

The fall was captured on video, which the rapper posted on Instagram.

TMZ posted pictures of the 42-year-old with blood on his face and head from the injury.

Rhymes took to Twitter later in the day to let his fans know he was OK and to thank them for their concern.
