Lil Wayne has refused to let an ankle injury halt his current tour and he performed through the pain at a gig in Connecticut on Wednesday night (31Jul13).

The rapper took to the stage at the Comcast Theatre in Hartford as part of his America's Most Wanted Music Festival just days after injuring himself in a skateboarding accident in New York.

Lil Wayne was seen wearing what appeared to be an ankle support on stage, and he also reportedly apologised to fans for his lacklustre movements and explained about his injury.

In a post on his Twitter.com page after the show, he wrote, "Connecticut was amazing tonight and I appreciate how they rok'd (rocked) with me on this bad ankle. I love y'all."
