Scott was performing at Citi Field in Queens (because the Mets sure dont need the space this postseason). During the track Butterfly Effect , Scott leaped into the air and then came down hard on his right leg.
After the song, the Houston rapper addressed the crowd: I aint gon lie, I think I just, like, broke my knee just now. This show cannot stop. So middle fingers to the sky. Lets rage. Scott raged for the remainder of his set, remaining uncharacteristically stationary and with a makeshift knee brace made out of tape.
Theres been no shortage of horrifying, bone-splitting leg injuries caught on video though most are to the sound of sneakers squeaking on a court. Scotts appears so shocking just because of how easily he seems to have injured the leg; he appears to have only jumped a few inches into the air.
The most important thing you can do for your knees is give yourself an appropriate warm up period , Stephen Nicholas, M.D., founder and current director of New York Orthopedics, told Men's Health. That means stretching. Maybe Scott was a bit too hype to rage before Saturday's show. After all, long music sets are basically like intense workouts.
