Only a Showbiz Vet Like Drake Could Turn a Stumble Into a Backward Somersault (Video)
Posted by Miss Info under about miss info , concerts , laugh with , videos[19] Comments
It’s a testament to Drake‘s years of showbiz experience that when he’s in the middle of performing “Take Care” in Birmingham, England and suddenly there’s no floor beneath his left foot….just turn that stumble into a fantastical backwards somersault! (at the 1:25 mark)
Voila! (oh, I’m sorry…I mean….Walla!)
Weezy reacted by texting: “Jimmy!” *ok, no, he didn’t.*
(much love to our UK family, hiphopshowurn, repping college radio at Nottingham University. thanks for sending your clip. Updated footage tip from Mr. X)
But wait…one of our twitter crew points out…
ASAP Ferg’s stage slip gets a strong second place trophy…
Watch after the jump

when the frack did I say he did a back flip? I said somersault. that’s when you roll on your head. which is exactly what he did. Not a flip, not a cartwheel, not a triple axel sokow, not a headstand, not a cheerleader split. If you want to talk about sensationalism…go elsewhere. I’m not the one.

Word. Info did say somersault not flip. However technically a somersault is a full rotation in mid air with a tuck, what Aubrey did was a backwards roll. He still styled it out though haaaaa!
