Lil Wayne rushed to hospital after being found unconscious in hotel room

Lil Wayne was hospitalised over the weekend, after suffering multiple seizures.

According to TMZ, the rapper was rushed to Northwestern Memorial in Chicago after being found unconscious in his hotel room at Westin Michigan Avenue Chicago.

A rep for Wayne has confirmed that he had to cancel a scheduled gig in Las Vegas as a result, but that he has been released from hospital and is currently resting.

The star has previously revealed that he’s epileptic and “prone to seizures”.

Due to unforeseen circumstances Lil Wayne will be canceling his previously scheduled performance tonight at Drai’s Nightclub located at the Cromwell Hotel. In lieu of his absence T.I. will be performing in his place alongside DJ Franzen for another installment of Sundrais. Lil Wayne and the entire Young Money / Maverick team are valued partners and members of the Drai’s LIVE family. Our priority is the health and well-being of our artists. Everyone at Drai’s wishes Lil Wayne a speedy recovery during this time. Doors for TIP tonight will open at 10:30 PM. #SunDRAIS #PoweredByMonster

“I have had a bunch of seizures, you just never hear about them,” he told Power 106’s DJ Felli Fel at the time.

“My heart rate went down to 30 percent. I have people around me who know how to handle it. This time was real bad because I had three back to back and the third one was so bad.”
