Drake Sets Date for Surgery, Talks about Fall

Posted on August 17th, 2009 by by Melody

Made MTV News… As an official stan I must post too.

Drake dropped the info on his Twitter… “In the studio…working on Thank Me Later…magic Surgery September 8th! Then we’re back in business”

He also tells MTV News about the night he re-injured his knee:

“The stride that I had, I planted with my right and I had a brace on,” he recalled of the moment. “I would say it was borderline more painful than the initial tear. It was bad. It buckled, popped. I was down. I remember slapping the ground. I couldn’t believe it. I saw the lights coming down. [And I was thinking] ‘Did I just fall?’ I was in so much pain then that I didn’t care at the time. They actually cut a nice pair of jeans that I had, all the way up. Bad. But it’s all part of my story. I feel like maybe it needed to happen. I came out on that tour for one reason and one reason only — I didn’t show up for the money or the fact that I even needed it right now. I showed up there for the fans that genuinely saw me on the tour [bill] and said, ‘That’s why I’m going.’ “

In other news, Lil Bow Wow joins the Cash Money crew [also announced via Twitter] which follows Omarion who joined the Young Money label… Bow Wow said he’ll release the Greenlight mixtape, followed by a single in late November and a new album tentatively set for release by the end of the year. Interesting team shaping up over there.

Also the the America’s Most Wanted Tour stop in Vancouver has been canceled, and the Edmonton may be a wrap as well. Border issues, maybe?
