Drake is one of the most important artists of the 21st century. The Canadian has been succeeding in music for more than a decade and in his genre, rap, he can be considered one of the best. Despite his long career and hundreds of concerts of his, he probably has never seen himself in this position. During the second date of the concert at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York, a concertgoer fell from one of the balconies. After the incident, he paused the show and didn’t resume it until he was sure nothing serious had happened.
I have to make sure you’re all okay
This occurred approximately 90 minutes into the event, just as 21 Savage, another rapper with whom he released his latest album, came on stage. 21 and Drake were performing the song Rich Flex when the fan fell to the ground. Then the paramedics sprang into action and security tried to keep calm in a packed room. The pause lasted just over 20 minutes and was not resumed until they were able to properly treat the injured person. Luckily for everyone, the fall was not serious and all those affected are stable. However, justice is investigating the case and trying to find an answer to the indecent so that it does not happen again.
To make matters worse, this concert was not foreseen at the origin of the project. In the logistics of the tour, the artist was going to play on November 11, offering New York a single date. Unfortunately, illustrious rapper Take Off from Migos passed away that night and the tour was postponed out of respect for the artist. Due to fan demand for another concert, OVO proposed to set up a two-night show.
Once the show resumed, the audience was able to enjoy and focus on the music. To understand the magnitude of the artist, the greatest American celebrities attended this concert: NFL stars Justin and Hailey Bieber, NBA player Kevin Durant or artists such as Lil Uzi Vert. As far as the direct one is concerned, the media brand the event as historic. Drake performed his best songs and hinted at a possible tour in the summer of 2023 with the aforementioned 21 Savage.
