Lil Wayne Hospitalized with Another Seizure – Released This Morning

Lil Wayne Hospitalized With Seizure, Lil Wanye Released From Hospital

TMZ is reporting that rapper Lil Wayne, 30, was brought to Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles by his bodyguards after suffering another seizure related to his epilepsy.

The star was treated and released early Wednesday morning.

In March, Wayne suffered mulitple seizures and spent six days in the ICU.

At that time TMZ was criticized by Wayne’s friends for incorrectly reporting on the seriousness of Weezy’s conditions.

This comes on the same day that Wayne released a letter of apology that he wrote to the family of Emmet Till, a 14 year old boy who was killed in Mississippi in 1955 for “flirting with white women.” Wayne’s lyric went:

Beat that pussy up like Emmett Till

The family of the slain teenager had threatened to pressure on Mountain Dew, who have recently signed Wayne up to front an ad campaign. The letter, via Miss Info read:

Dear Till Family:

As a recording artist, I have always been interested in word play. My lyrics often reference people, places and events in my music, as well as the music that I create for or alongside other artists.

It has come to my attention that lyrics from my contribution to a fellow artist’s song has deeply offended your family. As a father myself, I cannot imagine the pain that your family has had to endure. I would like to take a moment to acknowledge your hurt, as well as the letter you sent to me via your attorneys.

Moving forward, I will not use or reference Emmett Till or the Till family in my music, especially in an inappropriate manner. I fully support Epic Record’s decision to take down the unauthorized version of the song and to not include the reference in the version that went to retail. I will not be performing the lyrics that contain that reference live and have removed them from my catalogue.

I have tremendous respect for those who paved the way for the liberty and opportunities that African-Americans currently enjoy. As a business owner who employs several African-American employees and gives philanthropically to organizations that help youth to pursue their dreams my ultimate intention is to uplift rather than degrade our community.

Best,

Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr.
