The news was first reported by TMZ. A rep for Lil Wayne told Billboard that Lil Wayne is now stable and in good spirits after suffering a minor seizure. The rapper's reps have expressed their gratitude to Lil Wayne's fans for their unending support, prayers, and well wishes.
History of Seizure
In 2012, Lil Wayne was hospitalized after suffering multiple seizures, to the alarm of many fans. Later on, he admitted that he is epileptic and frequently suffers seizures. He revealed that he has had multiple seizures that were not disclosed.
Later, Lil Wayne admitted that the seizures can strike anytime and without apparent cause. However, he said that he suffers seizures mostly due to stress, lack of rest, and overwork.
Lil Wayne is scheduled to appear with 2 Chainz at Kansas City, MO's Sprint Center on Saturday. It is still unclear if the rapper will push through given his health condition.
