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]
Drake speaking to MTV NEWS last week.
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!
Feel better Drake. Next time listen to the damn doctor. Fans will understand. Better yet, take a wheelchair out on stage next time!
Thats a damn shame!!
He shouldn’t be playN around with that injury…but i hope he gets better.
Lol maybe someone threw a bottle at him
WTF….The decision he made can fuck him up for life? Poor thing!
I hope his knee gets better…an acl injury aint no joke! But at least he care about his fans enough to preform against his better judgement! But next time I hope he listens to his doctor!
that is so crazy…. its called obeying the doctor’s orders… i hope he gets better knee injuries are no fun
Ok Drake next time listen to your doctor a torn ACL is nothing to be messing around with. And Weezy? How immature to say that about drake! Wow! That was mean as hell to say about your dawg like dat!
Wow! An ACL injury isnt anything to be playing with…..Now im sure thats just going to cut off even MORE time from his appearances. Not too sure that that was a smart move…all the spinning stuff. Get better!
dang. im sad about him not having his own set but hes gotta do what hes gotta do. hope he aint hurt it too bad & hes still able to continue on with the tour cuz he aint made his way to cincy yet!
that acl injury aint no joke. like drake said if he tear it again he may not be able to walk again and ppl really will start callin him wheelchair jimmy, as wrong as that may be. hopefully it aint that bad.
OMG! Get Better soon Drake!!!!
damn shame. im waitin on the youtube video though.
yawwwwwwwwnnnnn! pass the bag of potato chips.
The “Degrassi” prop department better dig up that wheelchair and lend it back to Drake.
Aww man, I can’t wait on the video; it’s probably mad funny. Lol.
um lemme tell you drake and i dont even kno u or lil wayne but telling by his response and how he is managing your career. be very careful and keep your eyes open cause lil wayne does not have your best interest.
stop being so damn naive. u seem intelligent. come on!!!
hope u wake up brother.
I feel so bad for laughing at this but the irony is killing me
LMBO@ #9….
But for real I do hope he gets better. Lil Wayne is just….I dont know, but he shouldnt have said that.
i understand that his decision was stupid but i dont see this as an excuse for people to be making the jokes that they’re making. its mean and downright disrespectful…
its sad that people takiing time out to make jokes when his injury could be something that affects him permanently.
Damn Drizzy I understand the loyalty you have to your fans but I’m sure the fans would have understood…if your not physically able don’t push it and make it worst…I’m sure your fans will have ya back either way…feel betta
booo hoo. He knew this could have happened. His fault. He better hope his ass can walk after that dumb decision.
@14 wow, really? if that was a member of your family, would it be funny then?
people are heartless these days. its not like he just fell, dude is SERIOUSLY injured and people are using this as a way to get a laugh? smh.
I still don’t uniderstand how a rapper hurt themsleves like that. i mean, most rappers just pace back and forth on the stage throwing their hands in air. Was Drake trying to display some of his dance moves or something? Lol, dang sit down!
LOL how messed up that is! I heard about an injury like that; I can sympathy with me having a damn plate and six screws in my ankle at 25! So an ACL ain’t no joke!: but question, WTF were u trying to do, Become the next KING of POP?!
Well sorry, acc. to Kanye, he’s already there!!!
@21, it’s not like he’s got shot or stabbed, dang!
Hope he gets better though
@24
“If I tear my ACL again, the doctors say I might not be able to walk again. I have to be cautious.”
thats not serious? imjussayin have a little respect for people. thats somebody’s son and im sure his mother is somewhere worried to death because he’s out working for him and his fam…
TETE, please STFU. He knew the risk and still decided to perform on his injured knee. HIS FAULT. Quit crying, he didn’t get shot or stabbed. He brought this on himself.
Omg I pray he gets better. Drake is like my idol.
hope drake gets better and can be able to walk again
When the doctor tells you something, it’s not for his health, it’s for yours. Maybe, next time he’ll listen.
all yall shut upp soo harsh!
and anyways drake is kool he will be fine miss info just said son her site he will be fine sooo…
i was there…so fuckin sick….drake def should have came in a wheelchair
OMG!! I hope he is OK and for all yall people say stupid shit, yall need to know that he did this for all of his fans cause he didn’t want to disappoint his fans.
P.S.: If lil wayne did say that shit, his ugly ass needs to be smacked up side the head, he should have ran over there and helped him up instead of standing there looking stupid!!
lmao weezy is disrespectful

wow drake falls LOL
I understand being anxious in his position because he has so much promise as an artist but your health should come first. Life imitating art, no?
Whatever dude knew what he was risking. It’s all him if he didn’t take Doctors orders right. Boo Hoo cry me a river! LOL
lol get better wheelchair jimmy =( no spinning on yo hurt knee wtf was he thinking =(
That was quick! Here’s an uploaded video on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4E8zQfevydY
damn. i hope hes alright. yeah he shoulda listened to the doctor but at least it was for a nice reason. and that kinda shady that lil wayne just gonna stand there and watch him laying on the floor. ur not supposed to just stand there lookin stupid when somebody falls. its common curteousy to go help. then on top of that, he made that comment. that wasnt right.
and thinkin back, if he was gonna sit down during a performance, it really shoulda been this one rather than at the BET awards. at least this time he woulda had a reason
Why would Wayne say that? he is so damn stupid.
@ 37. to correct u wayne was on the other side if the stage when he fell and when he did fall tonz of peopel came to his aid before him soo he did not just sit there he was looking like what happen i see u did not see the video SMH
i meant @ 36 to correct u wayne was on the other side if the stage when he fell and when he did fall tonz of peopel came to his aid before him soo he did not just sit there he was looking like what happen i see u did not see the video SMH
damn Wayne….real nice thing to say bout your boy Drizzy while his writhing in indescribable pain a few feet away, that’s what I call support… But knowing Wayne, he was prolly drunk of something. Get better!!!
“damn Drake i said ‘Break a leg’ but I didn’t mean that shit literally!”
Lil Wayne’s remark was idiotic. But my heart and thoughts are with Drake, many of my friends and family have torn their ACL’s and I know that is no joke. He’ll probably be fine, but a double ACL injury must hurt like a mother!
last thing…whoever that is standing by Drizzy got a BIG ASS!!! I mean DAMN!
ROFLMAO @ JAZZ!
“WHEELCHAIR JIMMY!” LMAO!
@ TETE
STFU FOR REAL DON’T NOBODY GIVE A SH!T ABOUT THIS WACK A$$ CRACKING HIS KNEE. BOO HOO. HE DID THAT SH!T SO OH WELL. THAT FOOL GETS CLOWNED JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER PERSON POSTED ON THIS SITE. YOU GETTING ALL PISSED LIKE YOU DON’T BE ON HERE TALKING SH!T ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE. LET THAT BE SOMEBODY YOU DON’T LIKE AND YOUR COMMENTS WOULD BE TOTALLY DIFFERENT. SIT YOUR A$$ DOWN FOOL.

damn nigga, youre gonna be done before you even start!!!!!!!!
LOL
Oh, Drake, I am sorry to hear that, I was frightened at first when I saw the picture. No $ is worth your health Drake, you know better from what I hear you rap in your songs.
Anyway, how ignorant is Wayne to joke about it after Drake is rushed off the stage? He is something pathetic. I have no taste for him at all.
SMH. Publicity stunt?
ohhh mann
hope he gets better !
stay healthy drake
hope he feels better soon NOW THAT’S DEDICATION!!
Wow that totally scared me. I hope he’s okay
u music sucks!!!
