Video: Drake injuring his leg onstage, Lil Wayne’s reaction, and Drake’s tweet
Posted by Miss Info under Concerts , Not Good For Hip Hop , Sigh , Videos[38] Comments
After reporting the backstage account of Drake’s scary collapse, then the disturbing photo from a fan, then the encouraging tweet from Drake’s hypeman, Niko, and finally Drake’s own optimistic tweet (above)….I knew it was only a matter of time before the videos of tonite’s drama would hit youtube.
(Thank you to reader Gerard for one of the links, and to the speedy audience members with the cameraphones….)
Drake performing “Best I Ever Had” and suddenly falling to the stagefloor around the 34-second-mark….terrible : (
Obviously, Lil Wayne had no idea if Drake’s injury was serious or not, so he tried to keep the show going and the mood light…but it is awkward in hindsight hearing him say….“This n—- really got a bad leg, I thought that was just on the T.V. show…Give it up for Drizzy Drake.”
More after the jump….
this choppy clip gives an idea of the confusion on the stage and in the audience after Drake is carried off stage….Lil Wayne isn’t sure what’s going on so he tries to keep the mood light and the show moving…

Man, its so crazy how fast information travels nowadays. In a matter of hours, it goes from twitter to pictures, to video. Wow. Also, Wayne did a good job of keeping the mood light. I was like :O then Wayne made me lol
August 1st, 2009 at 3:45 am
LMAO @ Wayne; he tried and had good intentions so that’s all that matters.
I Hope Drake listens to his doctors next time!

Do I detect a little Milli Vanilli in his act?
August 1st, 2009 at 6:54 am
I can’t cosign this nonsense at all.
Drake acting like this is the biggest night of his life for him to take such a huge risk. Judging by the video he sure didn’t act like someone had a torn ACL[ or did he forget?] second of all this just shows Drake is just a commodity to wayne like the rest of young money and the women he bore children with.
Yes, it was sad but why is it all the other blogs are acting like this was a damn accident? All i hear is ass kissing ” oh drake” or “that’s a man that loves his fans” or thats a “champion” please.
Even althetes with torn ACL ‘s seat out for an entire season to preserve his career.
Second of all, Drake wise up! its either drop the affilation with your management and YM and stand on your own.
Yea, Wayne helped your career just like cash money helped his but don’t risk your life.
Blogs are becoming more suck u, not once i have heard “damn drake, you know you fucked up, you could have easily set this one out”
They got people like teyanna taylor on ustream [ and nobody knows what they do] so why can’t you find other ways to connect with your fans.
Drake fans are wayne’s friend and waynes fans are drakes fan, so you missing a show doesnt mean the tour won’t sell out.
I love your blog miss info ,but can we be realistic and say he fucked and he needs to accept accountability.
Shit even kobe took some time off.
Drake,
don’t kill your career before you it even starts. to some people you will always be jimmmy. thats nothin to be a afraid of.
August 1st, 2009 at 7:42 am
he was confused when it just happened but he kno the deal….smmfh @ wayne trynna be funny
Hope all turns out well Drizzy, dont go crippling yourself for the fans, we rather you chill for a minute and be better for your own tour
August 1st, 2009 at 8:16 am
He’s a trooper for performing like crazy with a bad leg and now he injurred it more so he needs surgery. I wish him to speedy recovery!! So I guess he’s not going to be in jersey 2nite.
August 1st, 2009 at 8:17 am
They better start bringing him out in a wheel chair like snoop when he did “Murder was the case” on MTV. Put some safety in the theatrics or that kids gonna have a permanent limp. I know he’s hot, but he might wanna consider slowing down for a second.
August 1st, 2009 at 8:30 am
Drake should really thank Wayne for that, because that fall made him look real stupid!! loooooool, u the best! lol
August 1st, 2009 at 10:36 am
Notice how all you hear is a bunch of screaming girls? Much different than the Ghostface show. I was there the other night at Nokia theatre Miss Info, thanks for the video, I can see myself in the video too I was in the front row. Ghost Trife and Wigs all signed my Ironman hat. This dude Drake is Corny. Please tell your people at Hot 97 to stop playing him every 15 mins! Rosenberg too, I saw him on stage and at Rock The Bells, he acts like he’s down wit real hip hop but I can’t listen to his morning show cuz he plays this corny shit every day. How about supporting Trife Da God’s new album and play something from Better Late than Never please? When Wizard of Poetry drops let’s see how much support Hot 97/Power 105 shows Ghost, or Rae for that matter when OB4CL2 drops. Please play better music so I can maybe start listening to the radio again. And the 90’s at 9 don’t count! Thats only 1 hour, and maybe at 12 you play some good shit but thats it.

IAM SICK AND TIRED OF THE DRAKE TALK. JESUS CHRIST.
DRAKE IS OVERATED.
August 1st, 2009 at 11:36 am
Wowzer, it kinda look like he just slipped.
August 1st, 2009 at 11:51 am
Drake got a little too overzealous here. He should have taken the doc’s advice after all. I dont think even he understands the repercussions of what he’s doing. His fans will STILL be around as he rehabs. So what if he can’t make some shows? True fans will just pray for his well-being whilst continuing to be on the lookout for the music and just hope to see the man do his thing on stage another time.
I do hope he’s truly okay though. Talented young brother needs a chance to make it big.
August 1st, 2009 at 12:06 pm
info he needs to stay of the lean. to many rappers doin drugs.
August 1st, 2009 at 12:55 pm
I see why people think he’s a star. 3 updates later in full detailed coverage. Wow. Really not THAT serious.
August 1st, 2009 at 1:33 pm
Is it really fair to compare athletes sitting out seasons with Bad ACL’s and rappers? Wouldn’t you agree that its waaaaayyyy more dangerous for an athlete then a rapper doing less then a 30 minute set?
August 1st, 2009 at 1:35 pm
hahaha, they start playin the shit you said and you’ll start listening to the radio but everyone else would stop..
Everybody else>>>>>>>>you

So its a slow hip hop news week. Sue info?
August 1st, 2009 at 10:17 pm
hope this will make Drake disappear. Go back to Canada.
August 1st, 2009 at 11:51 pm
As one of the few people on Earth who refuse to text; I cannot believe that all is well with Aubrey. As much as I don’t care about anything to do with this kid its a tough hand he is getting dealt. You can’t tear a major tendon to a major joint on your body(twice in a year)and recover completely. Regardless of your age or physical status. This kid is in a world of sh*t for the a little while. Weezy abusing you on stage, the rehab and his career is at a crucial point where he can make a nice amount of money. Canada will always be there.
August 2nd, 2009 at 11:19 am
So were they in Jersey or Philly? I could’ve sworn Drake said Philly this is for yall and points at the crowd at the beginning of the video.
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:13 pm
this is an injury that happens to a lot of people every year. Its not very serious, surgery, rest and rehab and he won’t have a problem. He should really be worried about that fact he lip syncs on stage…not cool
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:25 pm
that was kind of ill of wayne to say that even though he was just trying to keep the show moving……i’m sure if he had time to think about it he would’ve chosen better words…..i’m not a fan of drake at all but i wish him a speedy recovery
August 2nd, 2009 at 4:58 pm
yes disappear drake go back to canada please youre a corny rapper
August 2nd, 2009 at 11:24 pm
WOW…
they really kept on playinq like 10 seconds more after he fell and da crowd still yellinq after he fell like it was nothinq…but it was kinda funny wat lil wayne said lmao…but hopinq drake is doinq better with his leq/knee
