Lil Wayne recovering in hospital despite coma reports

Lil Wayne is said to be recovering after suffering more seizures.

The rapper was reportedly in a “critical condition”  after being rushed to Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.

TMZ claimed on Friday that he was placed in an induced coma after being found unconscious in his room, however Lil Wayne’s spokeswoman has now issued a statement saying that the rapper is “recovering”.

Wayne’s friend and fellow rapper Mack Maine also took to Twitter to deny reports that Wayne was in a medical coma.

He said: “Wayne is alive and well! We watching the Syracuse game…thanks for the prayers and concern..he will update you all soon. #love

“We will be releasing an official statement shortly but dont believe the nonsense about comas and tubes to breathe…that’s false!!”

A tweet was sent from the 30-year-old’s Twitter feed at 6.28pm local time assuring fans that he was okay, although TMZ insists that Wayne was asleep at the time it was posted.

There has still been no official confirmation on the exact cause of the rapper’s health problems.
