Drake took a fall onstage last night at the Susquehanna Bank Center in New Jersey, when he was performing with Lil Wayne on the America's Most Wanted Tour, and considering he already had an injured knee, he will now have to undergo knee surgery.
Drake was walking past Lil Wayne, when he suddenly slipped and had to be helped off stage by stagehands. Lil Wayne stopped singing and joked with the crowd and then asked them to make some noise for Drizzy.
The up-and-coming rapper/singer tore his ACL several weeks ago and, up until just before the tour — which also features Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, Soulja Boy and others — began, it was up in the air as to whether he would perform at all at all. However, he decided to take a risk and play a short set, coming onstage for three songs.
Drake tweeted about his fall after:
"We straight," he wrote. "Just to show that this ACL sh-- ain't a joke. Thanks for the support, and we'll be back ... Young moola."
"All is well...," he wrote later. "On the bus laying down... Getting surgery this week but I'm walking. Thank my whole YM family for the help. Lion Hearts!"
Drake did not get medical approval to perform on this tour, but he decided he would be letting people down if he didn't perform.

As sad as "never walking again" sounds... I couldn't help but laugh.. Dudes Real name is Aubrey Graham, but his alter ego is "Drake"??? He's Canadian and played on one of the wackest shows over there Degrassi... I DO have to admit the scene where he got shot was well played and touching. We all thot he died, but No, he just an unhappy kid in a wheel chair who can't have sex... Now he might foreal be in a wheel chair???? Blood
