A person close to the superstar's camp who asked for anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter confirmed to The Associated Press that Lil Wayne had a seizure. He has a history of seizures in recent years that have led to previous hospital visits.
While there were some reports that Lil Wayne was fighting for his life, members of his Young Money camp denied it on Twitter.
Before the tweet from Lil Wayne's account, rapper Mack Maine tweeted: "Wayne is alive and well! We watching the Syracuse game...thanks for the prayers and concern. he will update you all soon."
Rapper Birdman, Lil Wayne's mentor, also downplayed reports that Lil Wayne was in grave condition, tweeting: My son is in good spirit..feelin much betta...be home soon."

What's with all the illnesses lately for "performers"? Justin Bratber...Kelly Osbourne...now this twit? Are the "seizures" the new fad in illnesses?
@fracas Maybe they'll all die off and leave us in peace.
Nice teef
Proper word is teefs or bling teefs would be the formal usage.

It wasn't a seizure. He temporarily choked when he swallowed on of his diamond encrusted veneers.
