Drake Collapses On Stage During AMW Tour!


I hate to say 'I told you so', but I told you so. I was hoping someone would have even passed the word on to Drake about not taking an ACL injury serious.

Drake chose to go on tour with the Young Money Family after the doctor ordered him not to go. Figuring that he knew what was best, he ignored the doctor's order.

Last nite, I was getting hit up with the Twitpic and messages saying 'Drake fell on stage'!

Drake took a chance when he decided to perform on the America's Most Wanted tour with an injured knee, and that chance turned out badly on Friday night, when he had a nasty fall and had to be helped offstage at the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, New Jersey.

In footage of the fall on YouTube, Drake is seen walking past Lil Wayne (with whom he was performing) and suddenly slipping. Within seconds, stagehands help him up and assist the badly limping MC offstage.

Lil Wayne stops the track and jokes with the crowd about needing extra insurance for the tour. He asks the audience to make some noise for Drizzy, and then asks if any ladies in the house can do Drake's verse for him.

After his fall, Drake tweeted to Miss Info about the incident.

"We straight," he wrote. "Just to show that this ACL sh-- ain't a joke. Thanks for the support, and we'll be back ... Young moola."

"All is well...," he wrote later. "On the bus laying down... Getting surgery this week but I'm walking. Thank my whole YM family for the help. Lion Hearts!"

At press time, there was no official word on Drake's condition or when he might rejoin the tour, which continues at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, New York, on Saturday night (August 1).

Well, in the words of DJ Rod Madd Flava, "that's the dumb was it happens." But, in all honesty, I hope now Drake takes the times to allow his ACL to heal.
