On Tuesday night rapper drake defied doctor’s orders and took the stage to perform at his home city Toronto during Young Money Presents: The America's Most Wanted Music Festival.
Singer Trey Songz, who was already in Toronto for a club event, was on hand to witness it all go down as his friend Drake convinced him to stay some extra days and rock with him.
"He came out to that 'Successful' — it was like an out-of-body experience," Trey told MTV. "They went so crazy for the kid, man."
Since Drake had fallen and missed a couple of shows on the tour, his appearance on Tuesday surprised fans.
"He came out with his cane," Trey said. "He wanted to walk out. He wanted to take his time and he rocked on a stool. But the energy he was giving was like he was standing. With me and Wayne up there it was like an extension of him — [we were on] both sides of the stage. It was stupid ... the energy was so crazy.”
"When we stepped off the stage, we gave each other hugs — it was love," he added. "All his peoples came, just givin' us love. It was crazy and we was taking pictures, and then we just sat and rapped about it for a second. He came back out for 'Every Girl.' But the energy was stupid when we got offstage. Everyone was just telling us how amazing it looked ... because none of it was really planned. Like when Wayne came back out — Wayne didn't know I was there — and when he came back out he stayed onstage. It was just the energy, man — it was unexplainable."
Although the night turned out to be successful, Trey said that people were having second thoughts about Drake taking the stage so soon after his injury.
"Everybody's nervous at every second," he said. "You know, making sure he got his cane, making sure he ain't putting too much pressure [on his leg]. I gotta tell him to sit down every now and then when I was up there — he's still a regular person. You want to be able to move. But he stayed on that stool ... there was a couple of times I seen he wanted to come up off that stool, but he stayed down. They went so crazy. Damn, I'm telling you — it was crazy."
