There have been rumours and jokes circulating on social media about Jason Derulo supposedly falling down the stairs at this year’s Met Gala. However, Jason confirmed that these rumours are false, and furthermore, he has never attended the Met Gala in the past.
The origins of the joke about Jason Derulo falling down the stairs at the Met Gala can be traced back to 2015 when a now-suspended Twitter account @dashausofjack made the false claim. However, Derulo quickly denied the rumours on Instagram and revealed that he was actually in rehearsals in Los Angeles at the time.

Despite this clarification, the joke has persisted over the years and resurfaces during each Met Gala event. Contrary to the popular meme, nobody actually fell down the stairs at the Met Gala. The image that is commonly used for the meme actually depicts an incident from the 2011 Cannes Film Festival in France. During the festival, an unidentified man attempted to crash the event and ended up falling down the stairs in the midst of the chaos.
This incident has been mistakenly attributed to the Met Gala and Jason Derulo over the years
