It comes more than a year after the rap star, whose Grammy wins include the best rap album award in 2008 for Tha Carter III, was treated after suffering what his reps called two minor seizures.
Four years ago, Lil Wayne spent several days at a Los Angeles hospital after which he told radio station Power 106 he was epileptic and prone to seizures.
The New Orleans-born rapper began his professional career aged nine, when he became the youngest artist to be signed by Cash Money Records.
It is unclear as of yet whether Wayne will be discharged. Epilepsy is a condition of the brain which can disrupt the electrical communication between neurons in the nervous system.
This often leads to seizures, a sudden event that can change a person’s awareness, behaviour or feeling. The condition is typically diagnosed when a person has two or more unprovoked fits separated by at least 24 hours. - The Sun
