Lil Wayne “doing fine” after seizures force show cancellation
By Chris Cooke | Published on Tuesday 5 September 2017
Lil Wayne’s daughter has said her father is “doing fine”, after he was forced to cancel a show on Sunday night due to an epileptic seizure.
According to reports, Wayne was found unconscious in his hotel room in Chicago on Sunday, and suffered a second seizure after being rushed to the city’s Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Doctors then advised he cancel a scheduled show in Las Vegas, and also suggested the rapper avoid flights for a few days.
It’s not the first time Wayne has suffered from seizures. He had to dispel rumours that he was close to death after suffering similar episodes in 2013.
Taking to Twitter yesterday, Wayne’s daughter Reginae Carter, stated: “My dad is doing fine everyone! Thanks for the concern you guys are amazing”. She then cautioned against people taking too much notice of any new rumours about her father’s health, adding: “Oh yeah… don’t believe everything you hear”.
