ccording to her and other witnesses, 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.” [really?!]
Then Wayne had to keep the show going, so he performed “Mrs. Officer,”
with Shanell and T. Streets (normally, Drake performs the song with
Wayne.), and then “Every Girl In the World,” again, sans Drake.
Meanwhile, backstage, paramedics cordoned off a section and were examining the injured star
Now if you recall, just last week, Drake told MTV about his risky
decision to still hit the stage on the America’s Most Wanted tour (even
with a reduced role), despite warnings from his doctors….
“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.”
