We broke the sad news to Justin Bieber Monday night that his homie 'Lil Wayne had been hospitalized following a seizure and that the rapper had been hospitalized in Chicago.
Wayne was found unconscious in his Westin Hotel room on Sunday night and was rushed to the hospital where he suffered another epileptic seizure. A Chicago Fire Department spokesperson confirmed he had been released by Monday morning.
The rapper's daughter Reginae Carter Tweeted an update Monday: "My dad is doing fine everyone! Thanks for the concerns. You guys are amazing,†she wrote, adding, “Oh yeah … and don’t believe everything you hear."
This isn't be any means the first time the rapper has suffered from epileptic seizures -- he has been hospitalized several times over the past few years, including a six-day hospital stay in 2013 following an attack during a cross-country flight.
Wayne was scheduled to perform with Rae Sremmurd at Drai's Nightclub in Las Vegas Sunday night but dropped from the bill and it was announced T.I. would fill in. The club released a statement saying, "Our priority is the health and well-being of our artists,. Everyone at Drai’s wishes Lil Wayne a speedy recovery during this time."
