According to a source, Grammy-winning musician Lil Wayne was recuperating in the hospital on Friday following a seizure. However, a report claiming he was in a medically induced coma and in grave condition was vehemently refuted.
Mack Maine, a close friend and business colleague, tweeted, “Wayne is alive and well.” “We’re going to make an official announcement soon, but don’t believe the bullsҺit about breathing tubes and comas.That is untrue.
The rapper’s representative continues, “Lil’ Wayne is doing well.” I appreciate your concern.
Wayne, 30, has a physical condition that neither Maine nor the representative acknowledged. His true nаme is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. The rapper “had a seizure,” but a source tells PEOPLE that “he’s fine though.”
Wayne reportedly experienced several seizures and was sent to Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills on Tuesday. By Friday, TMZ alleges, Wayne was critically ill in the intensive care unit. The website added that he was connected to breathing tubes and in a medically induced coma, adding that “it doesn’t look good.”
Wayne has four Grammys, including the 2008 prize for best rap album for Tha Carter III. In addition, he is credited with starting Young Money Entertainment, a division of Cash Money, of which Maine serves as president.
They jointly put out seven No. 1 records. Drake and Nicki Minaj were also introduced by Young Money Entertainment.
