After a weekend of unsolicited attention, rising star rapper Drake blogged about his leg injury among other things. Peep what he said:
ANGELS & DEMONS
This bottle of Opus One is low but my spirits are high my friends. I am about 2 hours away from Toronto, CA where I will be spending the next chunk of time recovering from a surgery that I now must have. I embarked on this tour with a torn ACL, MCL, and LCL and due to the events that happened the other night lord only knows what other damage I have done. On the bright side I will begin the reflecting and soul searching that its going to take to make this album and my outfit on the night I fell was crack. I will forever push myself beyond the limits despite advice and recommendations given because even with this new found success I am still the kid who wanted this more than anything in the world. Its funny when I read comments from previous fans who have lost interest because of the radio play and exposure I have. I just want to assure anyone reading that nothing has changed on my end. I refuse to get comfortable, I refuse to fall in line and follow anyone elses formulas. I still work as if So Far Gone had never dropped and I’m still trying to figure out how I’m going to gain entry to this game.
“Missing someone gets easier everyday. Because, even though it is one day further from the last time you saw each other, it is one day closer to the next time you will”
See you soon.
Drake’s debut album is slated to debut later on this year and even though he had that infamous fall in Camden, N.J., he made it to the taping on Mary J Blige’s new joint “The One” the next day. Feel better Drake.
He seems sweet!
he needs to rest a bit. his fans will wait.
that was sweet….i get whatcha tryna say but you’re hardly a kid so let’s take it easy in the future and remember your TRUE fans won’t care about you running all over the stage as much as the will care about just hearing what you have to say…keep that stool witcha and just chill til you heal properly! much success…
Want me to rub that knee for you? Give you a rub down, take a shower with you? I got you… Mwah!
WOW DRAKE I’M SUPER IMPRESSED BY THIS POSTING! SO HONEST AND RAW,
I HOPE HE RECOVERS AND UNDERSTAND THAT I THAT TYPE OF INDUSTRY TALENT LIKE HIS ( AND OTHERS) OFTEN TAKE A BACKSEAT IN MAINSTREAM AMERICA AND PEOPLE TEND TO HATE THAT WHICH THEY DON’T UNDRSTAND. SO AT THE END OF THE DAY BE TRUE TO WHO YOU ARE AND NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY, THEY CAN NOT DESTROY THAT WHICH IS ALREADY BEEN WRITTEN.
LOVE YA DRAKE
…………awww my poor baby…. you dont have to do nothing… just rest and take care of yourself. That’s what really matters for now. You dont have to push harder. If your fans are loyal, they will be there from start to new beginings. So dont do it just to please anyone, You have to look out for yourself for now. Take care xoxoxoxox
Drake, seems like a level-headed guy who has a solid head on his shoulders. He just needs to take it easy and keep his mind right before his career really takes off. Not many artists are articulate like this nowadays so I give the man props.
I LOVE U DRIZZZZZZZZZZZZY, get better soon! and plz make an anouncement when ur coming 2 NYC!
sadly im one of those fans whose lost a little interest. been listenin to drizzy since 07…praying he doesnt switch up his style of music completely but thats already begun. he made the biggest mistake ever signing to Young Money.
anywho, hope nothing is permanently damaged bc this incident proves how much he loves what he does! get better drake.
I’m sorry but his fall was hella funny.
I love you Drizzy and appreciate da hustle dat you put out in the game… you trully made me fall in love with rap all over again…you are such a brilliant individual and I see that in all of your verses everytime I listen to one of your songz or watch an interview. No matter wat the media says i see that you have a genuine, humble heart and i will continue to support any project you venture into because i know that it will be a right move for the industry. True fans will wait for you to recover so plz take it easy and get the proper care you need. I know dat while your resting only great works will be in store once you get back on ya full tyme grind and Im just waiting in anticipation 4 sumthing even more spectacular than be4. I will definitely continue to pray for you and until we see u again remember 2 keep God first and everything else will fall into place. With much love ya gurl Tedesia… SMOOCHES BABES XOXOXo!!!
(p.s. ya songz help me make it thru the day so hopefully reading my note put a smile on ur face and the concert won’t b the same w/o u…dat ending quote of ya message was bomb boo!)
I LUV U DRAKE ND U R SO SWEET…I AINT KNO U HAD DAT SIDE….MAY GOD B WIT U THRU ALL OF DIZ
Not really a big fan of Drake but some of his songs are decent. I hope he gets better
y’all are falling for this shit? smh
Well I MAY give him another chance per the last 3 sentences before the quote, but we’ll see. I just know where as about 2 months ago when they started playing his single I was excited and clamoring to get the mixtape, now when they play him on every station I just have to turn. And he’s awful as a live performer.
Yup! Stay Strong Bruh…I’m still buying his album.
GET BETTER DRAKE. I HAVE TO ADMIT THOUGH, OVER-EXPOSURE IS A MOTHERF*CKER. PEOPLE START TO GET TURNED OFF & U HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO GAIN ALL UR OLD FANS BACK WHILE MAINTAINING UR NEW ONES. HE’S RIGHT ABOUT THE SOUL-SEARCHING, HE’S DEFINITELY GONNA HAVE TO TAKE A TIME OUT & DO THAT.
“I will forever push myself beyond the limits despite advice and recommendations given…” SO DOES THIS MEAN NO MORE KANYE OR ANYONE’S (BAD) ADVICE? CERTAINLY HOPE SO.
HIM SIGNING TO YOUNG MONEY THOUGH, WAS THE WORST.
He’s one of a kind & truly rare. He’s an October Scorpio like me. He’ll always rise above bullshit, despite the haters
Nobody really gives a damn about this “Big Fall” damn yall act like his hair caught on fire then he stoped dropped and rolled…ENOUGH!
Hope my baby makes a quick recovery. We love you Drake. I love that he is an intelligent rapper.
DRAKE IS AN ACTOR FIRST AND FOREMOST! THAT’S WHY HE IS SO OVER DRAMATIC AND SENSITIVE. HE NEEDS TO SIT DOWN AND REST HIS DAMN LEG. WHY THE HELL WOULD YOUR FANS GET MAD BECAUSE YOU FOUND SUCCESS? WTF SOME PEOPLE JUST GRAB ON TO THE LEG OF SOMEONE WHO IS STRUGGLING. THAT’S WHY YOU SEE THIS A LOT ABOUT PPL SAYING THEY USED TO BE FANS OF SUCH AND SUCH BEFORE THE HUGE FAME. THEY ARE HATERS DEEP INSIDE AND THEY DON’T WANT TO SEE SOMEONE SUCCEED.
—– That sux… He’s had a lot of humbling moments in the music biz so far and he
—- hasn’t even made it that far…. I guess mabey in the long run it will defuse a ———- potentially large ego. The industry only has room for one GIGANTIC ego, and that’s
—- person is Kanye! LOL
—I don’t get the hype. All this drama and his album hasn’t even dropped yet. Smh.
—I think dude is all talk and no substance. He ain’t cute, he ain’t talented, his current
—single is average at best. I just don’t know how, where, folks got the memo that he
—was hot?
all deaths this year i think hes next or atleast someone he know
@24 Why would you say something like that? I mean….. i just dont understand why someone would say something like that,,, like WOW
I really hope he gets better! I still love you Drake whether you hurt or not…
I like Drake.
hummmmmm he sounds like a laidback dude am starting to dig u bruv hope u keep it 10000% real out there oh and take it eazy
people like people who they “think” they discoverd people hate cuz he hot right now and are not the only ones bumpin his music people need to get a life and stop hatin that shit aint healthy
i wanna know how the hell he got injured in the first place. he is no Michael Jackson, Ginuwine, Usher, etc so how the hell did he hurt his leg???
dude is maddddd corny and needs to have a seat. all of this is probably a sign that he doesnt need to be in the industry.
bring back the REAL RnB talent people!!!!!
Im confused???? I bought tickets to the Kansas City show on the 24th with drake weezy and jeezy, so does this mean drake isnt going to be there?
He sounds depressed. lol
This was well written but to be honest Drake just sounds like a more articulate T.I.! LOL What I mean is that when T.I. was out he used to act all motivated, determined, wise and used to be apologetic for every mistake he made and still continued to make them. This is what Drake is doing. First little girls dancing onstage to “I wann f*ck every girl in the world” apologized… okay. Then “Best I ever had video” was just plain stupid and sick… explained the concept. Now a nasty fall from what he could’ve prevented if he followed doctor’s orders… now a deep written letter. He seems like one of those people who are level headed and determinded but he just keeps on making mistake after mistake after mistake that I don’t know if I can believe him. I’m not a fan, I don’t get the hype, but I would give him the benefit of the doubt but I just have a hard time doing so… only time will tell.
??? who is the cat and what exactly does he do??? I must live in a vaccuum. I am so not aware. That may be a blessing though.
Okay I like Drake he is very articulate and I feel like people are really blowing his fall out of porportion…especially people who are saying epic fail and shit…i mean he is a new artist so its gonna take a lil readjusting to get everything just right..he tore his ACL and still was trying to put on a show… aint nan wrong with these other artist knees and they still aint moving on stage(still be standing in one spot…lol)…I mean people are putting to much emphasis on him just let him blow up into whatever he gon be on his on and stop blowing him up before he get there because people are gonna be disappointed if they dont get what they expect or what they are looking for……..LOVE YOU DRIZZY HOPE U HEAL WELL AND FAST!!!!!
AND @ #24 WHY THE F*CK WOULD U SAY THAT DUMBASS???? WHEN U SEE OR FEEL DEATH U WISH IT AWAY AND DONT SPEAK ON IT WEIRDO!!!!!!!!!!!
I must admit, i was a bigger fan of him when he was still an unpopular underground artist than when he became main stream, but i still love u Drizzy!
@ 36 I agree with you!
Your words are so real, i know that probably doesnt make any sense but i cant explain it. lol I can tell you really adore your fans and most rappers/singers are scared to show their emotions. which seems fake to me. You keep it real by tellin it how it is.& I applaud you for that =) Sorry about the injury you had, im jus glad that your still alive. Cause it could be worst, but atleast you tried thats all we ask for. You blessed us with your thoughts and words of inspiration. Thank you!
