Rapper Drake collapsed on stage while performing as part of the Young Money tour in Camden, New Jersey last night.

According to reports, Drake was performing a duet with Lil Wayne for single “Best I Ever Had” when the collapse occurred. During a spin move, his knee (which was already injured) was twisted causing him to collapse.

“He put his head down because he was in so much pain and then 4 guys ran out on the stage and had to carry him off” one witness reported.

Weezy then told the crowd, “Damn, I knew that niggers knee was bad, but I didn’t know it was that bad! I thought he was just in a wheelchair on T.V.”

Drake was tended to by paramedics back stage and his current status isn’t known.
