Mystery surrounds Drake's ankle injury that forced cancellation of three Summer Sixteen shows as he RUNS on stage in Chicago
On Wednesday, Drake posted an apology to fans in three U.S. cities where he canceled Summer Sixteen concerts due to an ankle injury.
But video surfaced Thursday morning showing him on stage Wednesday night in Chicago and running during his performance.
As TMZ reported, it appeared that the rapper, 29, had experienced 'a miraculous recovery' as he showed no signs of the injury during the gig.

What's up? The same day he announced he was being forced to cancel three of his concerts due to an ankle injury, fan video showed Drake energetically performing on stage in Chicago
Hours earlier, in a statement posted to his blog, he revealed that he'd been advised by his doctor to cut back on consecutive shows.
He explained he was 'postponing' gigs in Philadelphia, Newark and Toronto.
He went on to promise to be back to those cities with new music.
Mystery: The rapper, 29, was taped walking, dancing and even running during his Summer Sixteen Tour gig in the Windy City on Wednesday with no sign the ankle was bothering him
Under orders: He'd shared with fans earlier that a doctor had told him he needed to cut back on consecutive shows and so he was postponing gigs in Toronto, Newark and Philadelphia
'We are over 50 shows in and I have done everything to power through my recent ankle injury and leave it all out there on the stage every night,' the 29-year-old wrote on his blog.
'I hate to be told I can't do something,' he said.
'But under doctor's orders to allow me time to recuperate, I am being forced to postpone the intense three shows in a row in cities which have only ever shown me unconditional support.'
Shows cancelled: Drake told fans he was 'crushed' by the decision in a statement he posted to his personal blog
Promise: The Hotline Bling rapper, pictured at his concert in Des Moines, Iowa, on Tuesday, vowed to return to the three cities 'with new music' at a future date
It's not the first rough patch for Drake's big summer tour.
One of his tour buses was hit by a thief who made off with $3 million in jewelry as he was performing onstage in Phoenix, Arizona last month.
The jewelry belonged to Drake's tour DJ, Future The Prince.
Going back to college: Not even a bad ankle could stop Drake from visiting his namesake university in the early house of Wednesday morning after his show in Des Moines
Jetting out: The star proudly wore his Drake University letter jacket as he flew out of Iowa on his private plane in the early hours of Wednesday morning
