Drake Injured!

Filed under: Music Minute

drakefallen_copy.jpg

Rapper/singer Drake may have seriously injured his already-banged up knee on Friday night!!!

Lil' Wayne's "America's Most Wanted" touring partner was performing his breakthrough hit, Best I Ever Had, with Wayne when the former Degrassi: The Next Generation star collapsed in the middle of a spin!

Witnesses at the show in Camden, New Jersey, said Drake "put his head down because he was in so much pain."

Four men carried Drake off the stage and left Lil' Wayne hanging in the middle of the performance.

Oops!

Drake tore his ACL before the tour started, but made the decision to continue on with the tour, without the green light from his doc. The rapper's doctor warned Drake he may never walk again if he managed to tear his ACL a second time.

Let's hope that's not the case!!!

    I'm sure it's just the fake internet tone, but every time I read shit like this on your website it seems like your making a chipper joke about it all.



  2. 2

    I was there–it was really odd, one minute he was rapping, and the next he was down. Hope he gets better soon!



  3. 3

    wow so i'm really stupid, i had no idea he was jimmy from degrassi.
    oooh im an epic failllll.

    Whoa!
    I hope he's alright…
    Although it would be ironic if he was stuck in a wheelchair… after playing a kid who was stuck in a wheelchair on Degrassi…
    Terrible! But ironic…



  5. 5

    Ouch hope hes okay! I had no idea he was from Degrassi. Crazyness!



  6. 6

    omg will he be in a wheelchair like he is in degrassi??
    .
    .
    sooo weird and ironic!



  7. 7

    too late…already saw the video in other gossip sites…
    funny…and dumb…

    surgery…get well…



  8. 8

    Real rappers don't attempt spin-moves.
    When's the last time you saw Mos Def spin ?

    lols topsy i was gonna say the same … this sucks for him, tho. poor guy. hope its not bad.



  10. 10

    atleast he's use to being in a wheel chair?!
    see, degrassi did pay off in the end for him..

  11. love2 says – reply to this


    11

    I was there as well. He was only on stage for a minute or two and then he was down and being helped off the stage, so sad :( Funny thing, I knew it would be on perezzz!



  12. 12

    Re: Helloo nurse! – YOU'RE!



  13. 13

    oh no!
    this is horrible!
    looks like he may be stuck in that wheelchair (from degrassi) afterall…..



  14. 14

    daym. i was gonna go to that one too.
    nobody mentioned this.
    thx perez.



  15. 15

    do you realize he played a handicapped kid who couldnt walk on degrassi? life imitating art?? wow



  16. 16

    Re: jennymaks – that was kinda rude.



  17. 17

    Crazy! Jimmy on Degrassi was confined to a wheelchair. Hope that's not the case here.



  18. 18

    Awww. I hope he's okay. And wow, that's highly ironic! He played a kid in a wheel chair on Degrassi, but on the bright side, he'll already know how to work the wheel chair perfectly, and he won't be paralyzed like he was in the show, just a permanantly torn ACL which is STILL better then having NO feeling OR use of your entire lower body.
    Get well soon, hon. :( Pray for the best and lets hope you can walk again.



  19. 19

    i was there it was nuts i snuck all the way to front roww , weezy was funny tho he said 'damn i thought this n***a was playn when he was on degrassi , he really do got a bad knee!' . i thought he was just trashed or somethin and just passed out, guess i was wrong.



  20. 20

    damn i hope hes okk



  21. 21

    oh my gosh!
    hopefully it was nothing too serious but hes gotta rest to get better.lets go DRAKE =].



  22. 22

    hes a moron. a torn acl is nothing to take lightly. the doctor doesnt give an ok..and yet he goes and runs around the stage anyways. stupid ass

  23. JenGG says – reply to this


    23

    This is so stupid. He is not going to end up handicapped. I tore my ACL skiing. Over 50% was still attached and the surgeon decided not to do a replacement as scheduled. Tearing an ACL is common in skiing, and football players do it all the time, get an ACL replaced and are playing again 4 months later. All they do is screw in a new tendon and rehab. In fact, a person can live a normal life with a torn ACL, they just will have an unstable knee, which may give them problems going down stairs.

    No one can be handicapped from a torn or even removed/missing ACL.



  24. 24

    wow the same thing tht happened on degrassi(except for the getting shot part) will happen on his real life



  25. 25

    Get your medical info right. He's in o danger of "never walking again". You need a medical advisor to correct ALL your medical stories, you are always wrong. Your nothing if you don't write with correct info.



  26. 26

    oooh, that's not good. i've seen people go down like that with ACL injuries, the pain is horrible. hope he's okay. :(



  27. 27

    donttt worry for all those jones beach concert people… helll be there tonightt !!! dumassss lay off the druggss & you wouldnt have fell… oyy tonights gonna be sickkkkkk first roww he should just fall next to mee



  28. 28

    now he's really gonna be wheelchair jimmy lmfao



  29. 29

    aww but i hopee hes okayy & nooott in the wheel chair like degrassi… i tore my ligament in my left kneeee & the pain of a tore ACL is terrible tooo !!! FEEL BETTER !!



  30. 30

    Ironic that his Degrassi character was wheelchair bound.

  31. cdv says – reply to this


    31

    You sure he wasn't ducking from gunfire? I lived in Camden for 25 years- not a nice town!



  32. 32

    are you serious? that little slip was not that serious. he shouldn't have been jumping around like a little rabbit on stage. & there's been much worst accidents that this to happen on a stage. he's not the 1st person to fall & he won't be the last. he'll live. no one made this much of a fuss when Beyonce fells down a flight of stairs in her concert two years ago. so please, this isn't such a big deal.



  33. 33

    PLEASE STILL COME TO TORONTO DRAKE I LOVE YOU !



  34. 34

    hope he gets well



  35. 35

    I WAS THERE.



  36. 36

    ohhh wow. the irony…. at least degrassi gave him some experience in a wheel chair? i hope he gets better =(



  37. 37

    WHOA he may not walk like his Degrassi character, Jimmy, may never walk. WEEIRD.



  38. 38

    how ironic would it be if he ended up in a wheelchair?



  39. 39

    Damn, hope he's ok.



  40. 40

    Poor Jimmy!



  41. 41

    Omg … hope he gets
    better !



  42. 42

    omg i hope he gets better it would suck if he were to be in a wheelchair in real like after degrassi



  43. 43

    that sucks, hope he's okay.



  44. 44

    Re: GirlsJustWannaHaveFun – Hey there. I'd like to know the answer to that too! I like her as well. I wonder if it is her. If so give us a shout out! Hey another Saturday Night!



  45. 45

    For god's sake I hope he is alright. That has to be painful.



  46. 46

    Re: GirlsJustWannaHaveFun – Sad news about this guy, but great news about Curb!



  47. 47

    omg that would be horrible if he ended up like jimmy
    no!! dont even say thaqt
    i almost cried when jimmy got shot



  48. 48

    HES GOING TO END UP IN A CHAIR JUST LIKE JIMMY BROOKS!!!



  49. 49

    Oh no, WHAT will we do now.

    maybe this is a message that he should stop.



  50. 50

    degrassiiiiiiiiiiiiii LOL!!! poor guy wanted to perform thats all



  51. 51

    That's really weird. In degrassi his character couldn't walk ( well he did but then he got shot). He's a dumbass. If the doctor doesn't give you the green light, then don't go!!!



  52. 52

    I had no clue that was Aubrey Graham! Wow. I feel like an idiot.



  53. 53

    That is exaggerating, big time.

    1. You can't tear your ACL twice. If it's torn, it won't heal until you get surgery to fix it. When the damage is done it can't get much worse.

    2. Even if your ACL is completely torn, you can walk fine.

    I tore mine completely, along with another ligament and some cartilage in my knee.

    He can be back onstage in a few days after the swelling goes down and pain goes away.
    He will be able to finish the tour, he just shouldn't do anything too jumpy/jerky on stage.

    He definitely will not be confined to a wheelchair.



  54. 54

    Wow he is gonna end up lke jimmy…
    i hope not he will be okay though
    he is like the only one from degrassi other then shiane thats moved on it to something to futher them selfs



  55. 55

    omg. not gonna walk again–just like jimmy

    weird !



  56. 56

    then he would be handicap like his degrassi character oh the irony!



  57. 57

    lol ok, not to be mean but how funny would it be if he ended up in a wheelchair for real? LOL HOW IRONIC.



  58. 58

    that would be so odd because his character on degrassi was wheelchair bound.



  59. 59

    aiii, por ser tonto!
    :( poor drizzy drake, he's one of the few rappers i consider a rapper. haha



  60. 60

    karma is a bitch..his personality sucks..no matter what he tryna be nobody likes him..so: karma is a bitch



  61. 61

    Ur late but anyway I hope he gets better!!

  62. KG27 says – reply to this


    62

    He's going to be in a wheelchair just like Jimmy Brooks the character he played in Degrassi….How ironic



  63. 63

    Ironic that his character on Degrassi got shot leaving him unable to walk. I hope he didn't cause any permanent damage, but if he did you know ABCfamily is going to jump all over that shit.

  64. hannn says – reply to this


    64

    wowww thats so ironic…

    but i love drake… thats so sad. hope he's all right.



  65. 65

    It's Jimmy the Cripple!! Get that nappy, dusty fro back in your wheelchair!!



  66. 66

    Looks like he still didn't recover from that gunshot wound. See what you started Spinner!!!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!



  67. 67

    OMG HE WILL END UP IN A WHEELCHAIR JUST LIKE JIMMY!!



  68. 68

    Re: Jasmine Janee – it was actually jays fault lol .



  69. 69

    This has something to do with chris brown, i can smell it.



  70. 70

    I was there. The crowd waited all night for drake! Wayne highlighted a bunch of other young money rappers and last was Drake. he only got through successful and 15 seconds of You the Best before he fell.

    the atmosphere of the concert just wasn't the same after that. poor drake.



  71. 71

    Jimmy!!! He was paralyzed on DJH…hope life isn't imitating art.



  72. 72

    Re: GirlsJustWannaHaveFun – The one and only, waaasup!



  73. 73

    Re: Paris France – It is I said the fly…Hey babydoll.



  74. 74

    the funny thing is that his character in degrassi couldn't walk after being shot…
    Weird…
    lets hope he's gonna be alright



  75. 75

    How ironic — on Degrassi, he plays a guy confined to a wheelchair because of a school shooting.



  76. 76

    …hope he is aiight fuckers! It's not easy going down. And don't think about your teeny tiny cock Perez. I'm talking about someone's health.



  77. 77

    It's cosmic retribution for starring in "Degrassi".



  78. 78

    just like his character from degrassi, cant ever walk again



  79. 79

    ok dumbsheot perez, nobody is unable to walk again when they tear their acl, mcl, etc.

    Lot's of athletes have torn those same ligaments more than once and walk.



  80. 80

    Where is Chris Pine? ALOT more important…… lol :)



  81. 81

    old news…ive known this for a while….get it together perez youre losing it.



  82. 82

    Call out the Wahhhhmbulance and the drama llama… we need both for this tragic piece of American history. The world stopped spinning, just as he knee gave out.

    Let me check… hmmm… yup, nobody gives a crap, except maybe his momma.



  83. 83

    life mimics art ?



  84. 84

    Torn ACL??? dr says dont do it????

    …..stupid is as stupid does sir…….hahaha



  85. 85

    drake sucks and he looks weird and deformed.i'm not going to say that i hope he gets worse because i don't want karma.lol



  86. 86

    Drama queen shouldn't have been jumping round the stage like a loon if he has a bad knee.



  87. 87

    Hey MARIO- You parasite yr lazy obese sister is NOT "blogging" for you !



  88. 88

    WHO CARES



  89. 89

  90. 90

    IRONY!!! he cant walk in degrassi!! haha hope he gets better though



  91. 91

  92. 92

    i had some friends that were there last night…
    it wasn't in new jersey. it was in philly



  93. 93

    COME ON PEREZ!! UPDATE ALREADY!! this has been up for hours!



  94. 94

    what a dumbass…go back to degrassi



  95. 95

    perez, do your fucking job.

  96. SJB says – reply to this


    96

    1- I'll never understand why people have posted "I was there" but have nothing else to add or say. Do you want a high five?
    2- How many more people are going to say that it's ironic that his character was wheel chair bound and Perez "The DR" has given Drake the same potential fate.

    Seriously. Let's all move on now. OLLLLD news. I'm sure Jimmy/Drake/Aubrey will be just fine.

  97. heppy says – reply to this


    97

    i love aubrey graham more than life. i reeeaally hope he gets better



  98. 98

    I have never heard of someone becoming crippled for life from a torn ACL. I've had my ACL reconstructed in one knee and the PCL in the other and walk (and run) completely normal. PCL tears/surgery are way more painful btw! An ACL tear is very common and he should be back to 100% in 6 months at most, as long as he does his rehab.



  99. 99

    Re: britt@perez

    It's NOT "PEREZ" it's his obese SIS, BARBARA !



  100. 100

    aww poor drakey!=[
