Rapper Lil Wayne has reportedly been hospitalized in Chicago after suffering an epileptic seizure. According to TMZ, Wayne (real name: Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr.) was found unconscious in his Westin Hotel room on Sunday afternoon (Sept. 3). He was taken to Northwestern Hospital where he experienced another seizure.
The New Orleans rapper has long suffered from the neurological disorder and has been hospitalized several times in recent years, including a six-day stay in 2013, and following an incident on a cross-country flight in 2016.
Wayne, who is currently on tour with Rae Sremmurd, was scheduled to perform at Drai’s Nightclub in Las Vegas on Sept. 3. It is unclear as of yet whether Wayne will be discharged.
Variety has reached out to a Wayne rep for comment.

Kinda sad I saw so many people on social media saying he deserves it because he didn't stand with Black lives matter or say how racist society was too him. Kinda fucked when you think about what he did for hip hop and how famous he was, the man came from nothing but the slums. Got faith in ya weezy!

Man I hate r/music 's threads about rappers and hip-hop but this one was kind of sad. Dude has been having seizures his whole life. Not something someone deserves even IF they are doing drugs.
