‘ROUND THE WAY: DRAKE COLLAPSES DURING CONCERT IN CAMDEN, NJ
Posted by | Posted in Gurl Talk | Posted on 01-08-2009
Twitter exploded Late Friday/early Saturday morning with reports that rising star rapper Drake had collapsed during his concert in Camden, New Jersey. He is currently nursing an ACL injury and was supposed to stay off the injured knee until it healed – but he didn’t want to disappoint his fans.
Our girl Miss Info got some inside scoop from what went down at the concert:
Drake and Lil Wayne were performing “Best I Ever Had” when Drake was moving across the stage and did a spin move…he must have turned his already-injured knee while spinning, because Drake suddenly collapsed on the stage. “He put his head down because he was in so much pain,” and then 4 guys ran out on the stage and had to carry him off. Lil Wayne was left onstage in a state of confusion.
Sources say that Weezy then said to the stunned crowd, “Damn, I knew that n—a’s knee was bad, but I didn’t know it was that bad! I thought he was just in a wheelchair on T.V.” [SOURCE]
No word on his current condition, but Drake spoke to MTV News last week about performing on the injured knee:
I didn’t really get any approval from my doctor, but I made a personal decision 48 hours ago that I’d be letting a lot of people down if I didn’t show up and at least show them I’m there for them…
I’m not doing my own set. That’s one thing I have to apologize to my fans about. It’s too much of a risk, if I hit that wrong turn [doing] 30 minutes every night. If I tear my ACL again, the doctors say I might not be able to walk again. I have to be cautious.
Feel better Drake and stay off that knee!
