Lil Wayne Hospitalized in Chicago After Seizure: Report

Lil Wayne was reportedly hospitalized Sunday in Chicago after experiencing a seizure, TMZ reports. He was allegedly found unconscious in his hotel room and taken to Northwestern Memorial. Doctors have reportedly advised against his release. He was scheduled to perform at Drai’s Las Vegas that night, but his appearance was eventually canceled. T.I. took over instead. “Our priority is the health and well-being of our artists,” a representative from the nightclub told Pitchfork. “Everyone at Drai’s wishes Lil Wayne a speedy recovery during this time.” Last year, Lil Wayne suffered a seizure during a flight, forcing the plane’s crew to make an emergency landing in Nebraska. At the time, he was also scheduled to perform in Las Vegas.

In 2012, Lil Wayne was en route to Los Angeles when he suffered a seizure and had to make an emergency landing in Texas. The following year, he was hospitalized for multiple seizures, and spent almost a week in a Los Angeles hospital.
