Lil wayne in critical condition after more seizures

[djpenny]

Lil Wayne is in ICU in critical condition after suffering yet another seizure, and we're told it doesn't look good ... TMZ has learned.

We broke the story ... the 30-year-old rapper was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Hospital in L.A. Tuesday night after suffering multiple seizures. He was released Wednesday but just hours later one of his bodyguards found him in his room, on the floor and unconscious.

Wayne was rushed to the hospital again, but this time he did not stabilize. He was taken to ICU, where he was placed in restraints because he was shaking uncontrollably.

We're told Wayne is currently "unstable," and has been placed in an induced coma. He is breathing through tubes.

We're told several people are at Wayne's bedside crying, and a number of rap artists and family members are on the way. Sources say the scene is violent as Wayne shakes uncontrollably.

Sources say there's evidence Wayne went on a Sizzurp binge after being released Wednesday, because doctors found high amounts of codeine in his system.

We're told Wanye's stomach was pumped 3 times to flush the drugs from his system.

Update

5:16 PM PT -- Wayne's mother is currently on a plane flying to Los Angeles -- and we're told all major decisions about Wayne's health (including the decision to discontinue life support) will not be made until she arrives.

It's the Sizzurp. Thats the cause.

[Yuuichi]

Dang why do so many talented people turn to it.

[Bio]

Lil' Wayne is in my prayers. There's other stuff in that source that claim the tube breathing and other details are false. Whatever is going on, I hope he's doing alright. 30 is just too young and it's sickening to see all of these big time stars screw up or threaten their lives with drugs and other useless things.

Dang why do so many talented people turn to it.

Sometimes the fame just invites too much temptation for some of them to handle. :[

TMZ is full of crap, apparently:

Los Angeles (CNN) -- Grammy-winning and multiplatinum-selling rapper Lil Wayne suffered a seizure and "is recovering," his record label's publicist said Friday.


"I'm good everybody," read a message on Lil Wayne's Twitter account. "Thnx for the prayers and love." While acknowledging a medical issue, members of the New Orleans' artist's camp shot down reports that he was near death.


"Dont believe the nonsense about comas and tubes to breathe ... that's false!!" tweeted Mack Maine, the president of Lil Wayne's Young Money label, around 5:20 p.m. (8:20 p.m. ET) Friday. Sarah Cunningham, a publicist with the Young Money record label, acknowledged that Lil Wayne had a seizure.


The public relations department at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the Los Angeles hospital where the rapper is reportedly being treated, did not confirm or deny that Lil Wayne is there, per its policy. Maine didn't offer much detail, though he did say that he and Lil Wayne had been watching the Syracuse University Orange play Georgetown in the Big East men's basketball tournament.


"Wayne is alive and well!" the record label president wrote on Twitter.
The rapper's independent publicist, Kia Selby, said only, "Lil Wayne is doing well." She strongly denied reports he was in a medically induced coma, as reported by TMZ.


Born Dwayne Carter, Lil Wayne is one of the rap world's most successful artists. He won best rap album for "Tha Carter III" at the 2008 Grammy awards, and took home three more Grammys the following year.


Beyond winning over critics, he's also been a commercial success. Last September, Billboard reported the rapper had tallied 109 hits on its Hot 100, surpassing the record previously held by Elvis Presley. But he's also run into trouble outside the studio and stage.


Lil Wayne was arrested in 2007 outside New York City's Beacon Theater after police said they found a .40-caliber pistol on his tour bus. He ended up pleading guilty to felony gun charges and spending eight months at New York's Rikers Island jail.

Anyways, I unfortunately don't have sympathy for him, as it's all his fault. Selfish to make your loved ones be in such anguish because of your own stupidity.

[Chickenooble]

I always laugh when I hear dumbs say, "Oh lil wayne so fine" or some equally stupid shit.

Oh, and remember when he tried to be a rocker because he's so talented? Yea, "Rebirth" was a complete failure.

Hopefully this will end his music career
