Lil Wayne, renowned by his birth name Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., was admitted to the hospital following a bout of multiple seizures. The rapper, who grapples with epilepsy, was discovered unconscious in his lodgings at the Westin hotel in Chicago on Sunday night. Urgently, he was transported to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where reports indicate he endured another seizure. A representative for the Grammy-winning artist confirmed these distressing events to the US-based outlet TMZ, assuring the public that Lil Wayne is presently recuperating.

The incident disrupted Lil Wayne’s scheduled performance at Drais Beachclub in Las Vegas, where he was slated to appear alongside Rae Sremmurd. However, doctors advised him to cancel the engagement due to his health condition. This occurrence is reminiscent of a similar incident a year ago when he received medical attention for a minor seizure while aboard a flight from Milwaukee to California. Furthermore, four years prior, Lil Wayne was hospitalized in Los Angeles after experiencing a seizure during the filming of Nicki Minaj’s music video for “High School.”

These recent health setbacks have prompted Lil Wayne to openly discuss his struggles with epilepsy. In a candid admission, he attributed the condition’s triggers to “plain stress, no rest, overworking myself.” This revelation sheds light on the challenges faced by individuals grappling with neurological disorders, even those in the public eye.
