Lil Wayne Shoots Down Near-Death Report: 'I'm Good
Everybody'
Lil Wayne had a seizure. He is hospitalized in Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai
Medical Center. But as for the bombshell TMZ report that claimed the 30-year-old rap star was
near-death, surrounded by family, and on the verge of receiving last rites? Not
true, according to Team Weezy.
Around 6:30pm PT, a tweet was sent out from Lil Wayne's Twitter:
While Yahoo! cannot confirm whether the tweet was from Wayne himself or from a family member, a source tells omg! Insider that the rapper is alert. Likewise, Mack Maine, president of Weezy's Young Money Entertainment, tweeted out that TMZ's report was completely false.
TMZ, meanwhile, has backed off its report that rocked the Internet this afternoon insisting Wayne was being taken off life support and didn't have long to live. "Sources at the hospital tell us Wayne is still in critical condition in the ICU ... but stabilizing. We're told the prognosis is uncertain," the site wrote in an update.
This isn't the first time that Lil Wayne had suffered from seizures. While traveling by private jet in October, Wayne suffered from seizure-like symptoms forcing an emergency landing.
