P Diddy falls off stage into a hole during BET awards performance

The hip-hop mogul also had to rewind the teleprompter after fluffing his tribute to Smokey Robinson

P Diddy falls off stage into a hole while performing at the BET awards

Back in February, one of the few memorable moments of the BRIT awards was Madonna getting yanked down a set of stairs by a dodgy cape.

And at last night’s BET awards, P Diddy paid his own homage to the Queen of Pop by tripping and falling into a hole while performing.

The rapper was there to honour the 20th anniversary of his label, Bad Boy Records, and was joined by roster artists including Lil’ Kim, Faith Evans and Pharrell Williams for a performance of "It’s All About The Benjamins".

He fell down a hole on the stage while strutting backwards, but managed to pull himself back out and continue like a true professional.

Later on, when presenting Smokey Robinson with a Lifetime Achievement Award, he stumbled his words and had to ask the teleprompter to rewind. He apologised and blamed his nerves.

At the end of the night Diddy uploaded the already-iconic clip of him falling over to his Instagam, with the inspiring caption ‘IF YOU EVER FALL DOWN, get your ass back up and FIGHT!!!!!!' which is solid advice we can all live by.
