<P> Due to the success of the mixtape, Drake was the subject of a bidding war from various labels, often reported as "one of the biggest bidding wars ever". Despite this, Drake was rumoured to have secured a recording contract with Young Money Entertainment on June 29, 2009 . This was later confirmed following a planned lawsuit from Young Money, in conjunction with Drake, against an unauthorized album titled The Girls Love Drake, which was released on iTunes under dubious means . </P> <P> Drake then joined the rest of the label's roster on the America's Most Wanted Tour in July 2009 . However, during a performance of "Best I Ever Had" in Camden, New Jersey, Drake fell on stage, and tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee . He underwent surgery later that year . </P> <P> Drake planned to release his debut album, Thank Me Later, in late 2008, but the album's release date was postponed, first to March 2010, and then to May 25, 2010 . Young Money and Universal Motown had then released a statement that the album had again been pushed back another three weeks, culminating in a June 15, 2010 release . </P> <P> On March 9, 2010, Drake released the debut single "Over", which peaked at number fourteen on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as topping the Rap Songs chart . It also received a nomination for Best Rap Solo Performance at the 53rd Grammy Awards . His second single, "Find Your Love", became an even bigger success; peaking at number five on the Hot 100, and was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The music video for the single was shot in Kingston, Jamaica, and was criticized by Jamaica's minister of tourism, Edmund Bartlett . Bartlett condemned the portrayal of the island in the video, saying, "care has to be taken by all, including our creative artists, in (showcasing) images of our destination and people . Gun culture, while not unique to Jamaica, is not enhancing (the island's image)." </P>
