I didn’t think it was so awful of her to keep going. She did ask for a medic when she saw someone was down, and as a performer the motto is “the show must go on”. It’s not like she kicked her out of the way while she was singing. Idk if I was on stage with 50,000 ppl watching my first instinct would be to keep going while the dancer gets up/someone helps them off stage, she probs didn’t expect them to have gotten so sick/injured they couldn’t recover.

I kinda agree too, like while the performance is still going it'd be hard to know the severity of whats goin on behind you

iggy doesn't possess the basic understanding of american racial history and context (with the run away slave/master lyrics being like, the prime example). She's a mediocre performer at best. I highly doubt she's possessing EMT qualities beneath the surface (or on the surface if you don't think it gets any deeper, like me). She's just a pretty Australian girl who really liked rap and capitalized off of that, not even thinking of optics in the process.

I think her explaining it makes it make sense and I don’t think anyone else should be critical of that. An injury is different than a seizure so I can imagine someone keeping going if they thought someone hurt their leg after calling for a medic. I think if she knew it was a seizure she would’ve been far more freaked out and probably would’ve stopped.
