August Alsina's new "No Love" remix music video featuring Nicki Minaj just went viral online:

The aspiring hip-hop artist has a lot going for him right now - he just performed a concert at NYC's infamous Irving Plaza on Monday evening (September 15). The show was going extremely well - until Alsina collapsed right onstage.

Eyewitnesses claim that Alsina was walking towards the front of the stage when he suddenly fainted. The 22-year-old singer fell into the crowd, unconscious.

Security guards quickly grabbed the "Ghetto" crooner and pulled him backstage. He still appeared totally knocked-out.

Several fans in the audience captured the shocking incident on video:

Paramedics were promptly called to the venue. Alsina was pulled-out on a stretcher, but still managed to wave to concert-goers while leaving. His condition remains unknown.

Now, #PrayForAugust(Alsina) is currently trending on Twitter:

@t_beal08: "We all know Aug is a hard working man and good person. He does it for his fans. Im just glad he is okay and is resting. #PrayForAugust."

@ReeseLJones: "The way August passed out and fell into the crowd was scary... Smh, life is so MF short. #PrayForAugust."

@ibeGiggling: "My poor baby need to rest, he been on it everyday making his fans happy! He's tired, his body gotta get use to this running #prayforaugust."

@_amvur: "I really hope August is alright, it's scary hearing things like this. i hope everything gets better @AugustAlsina #prayforaugust."

@KiwiTheBeauty: "Sending positive energy...eat well, hydrate and REST UP @AugustAlsina #prayforaugust."

Rumors suggest that Alsina was likely suffering from exhaustion - the BET "Best New Artist of the Year" has been working very hard lately. But according to the infamous gossip webloid MediaTakeOut.com, perhaps Alsina was partying a bit too much before the show...

The seedy report suggests that Alsina smoked too much "Knockout" - a very potent strain of marijuana.

Hey, the name would make sense. But again, this is just crazy hearsay.

Stay tuned as more details surrounding Alsina's health develop.

Here's Alsina's performance before fainting:
