Bummer: Conway the Machine is postponing his "Won't He Do It" tour due to a "severe leg injury." He writes, "The results are in ♂️ I have a Fractured right tibia, dislocated kneecap, ANNNNND the album of the year tho." Ouch! "In all seriousness tho, anyone that knows me knows there’s nothing I love to do more than bein up on that stage! I can’t lie I’m super disappointed that I have to postpone the WHDi tour for a little bit, because I was really looking forward to goin on those stages and rocking this WHDI shit for y’all live. However I am in good spirits and I’m only looking at it as just a minor lil setback for a MAJOR COMEBACK! No stress!!?" Feel better, Conway!
