NEWS REPORT: LIL WAYNE SUFFERS 2 SEIZURES, NOW HOME WITH MOM..

WE KNOW TO WORK CONSISTANTLY, SHOWS DETERMINATION. BUT WHEN YOUR HEALTH IS IN JEOPARDY, ONE HAS TO REALIZE BEING DETERMINED CAN MAKE WHATEVER YOUR HEALTH ISSUE FAR MORE DIFFICULT THAN THE ISSUE AT HAND, YOUR MUSIC. SO TO LEAVING THE HOSPITAL FOR A SEVERE MIGRAINE AND DEHYDRATION ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO TO TWO SEIZURES THIS PAST WEEK....WAYNE, YOUR LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT.

LIL WAYNE SUFFERED TWO SEIZURES WITHIN 2 DAYS AND NOW RECOUPING AT HIS MOTHERS HOME.
AS RECENTLY LIKE RICK ROSS, WE THE RAYDIO TWINS ARE SAYING LIL WAINE CHILL OUT IF YOU HAVE TO SO THAT YOU CAN BE AROUND FOR 30 OR 50 OR HOWEVER LONG TO MAKE MORE GOOD MUSIC.

Lil Wayne is no different than anyone else when they're not feeling well ... they just want to home with their mommy ... and TMZ has learned that's exactly where Weezy is recouping. As TMZ first reported, Wayne suffered two seizures this week and was hospitalized in Texas after the first one and in Louisiana after the second. Our sources say Wayne's doctors have advised him not to fly -- so he rescheduled his flight out of LA yesterday and then cancelled it again today. Wayne's lawyers are supposed to update the judge on his status on Monday, and it's looking more and more like he will be unable to testify anytime soon. (TMZ)

MY HOMIES STILL f/BIG SEAN

"Thanx for all the prayers! I am good.," Weezy tweeted October 27th. (Lil Wayne's Twitter)


Lil Wayne isn't having his best day, but MTV News has been assured that the multiplatinum rap star is on the road to recovery despite reports that he suffered two seizures in as many days. On Friday afternoon, TMZ reported that Wayne was hospitalized after suffering a second seizure, this time in Louisiana. Team Weezy tells MTV News that the reports are exaggerated and maintains that he has had no seizures and that the rapper is at home in Louisiana on the mend, again after suffering a migraine. There is no time frame on when Wayne will return to work, but he already canceled a Saturday appearance at the Jefferson Mall in Louisville, Kentucky, in support of his TrukFit clothing line, but we're told he will reschedule. (MTV)
