He acknowledged the long rip in the left leg of his pants during his performance of his hit "OMG" and continued with his routine.
On Sunday night, he made light of the incident in a statement released exclusively to Yahoo! Music: "The show must go on," he said about his reaction to the mishap.
"I work hard and let it all hang out. ... Lol."
His ripped, baggy pants gave a new meaning to the phrase "hang loose."
