As most may have heard by now, Canadian rapper Drake took a spill onstage on Friday (July 31) during a stop on the America's Most Wanted Tour in New Jersey.
Already suffering a torn ACL from a previous injury, Drake -- against doctor's orders -- decided to perform on the tour. After Friday, it looks like it wasn't the right decision. He fell and had to be carried off mid-performance.
On Sunday (August 2), Drizzy Drake took to his official blog (October's Very Own) to explain his current situation and how it'll effect the remaining dates of the tour.
In an entry called "Angel and Demons," The rapper says he'll be out of commission for the time being.
"This bottle of Opus One is low, but my spirits are high my friends. I am about two hours away from Toronto, CA where I will be spending the next chunk of time recovering from a surgery that I now must have," Drake explained.
"I embarked on this tour with a torn ACL, MCL, and LCL, and due to the events that happened the other night Lord only knows what other damage I have done."
Despite the acident onstage, the 22-year-old refused to hold any regret in his decision to perform, and possibly extending the healing process.
"I will begin the reflecting and soul searching that its going to take to make this album and my outfit on the night I fell was crack. I will forever push myself beyond the limits despite advice and recommendations given because even with this new found success, I am still the kid who wanted this more than anything in the world," Drake wrote.
Before signing off, he made it clear to fans that he'll never conform or change, no matter how big he gets.
"It's funny when I read comments from previous fans who have lost interest because of the radio play and exposure I have. I just want to assure anyone reading that nothing has changed on my end. I refuse to get comfortable, I refuse to fall in line and follow anyone elses formulas. I still work as if So Far Gone had never dropped and I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to gain entry to this game," Drake explained.
To conclude his post, he ended with: "See you soon."
