Rapper Lil Wayne was hospitalized at Cedar Sinai earlier this week after suffering seizures. He was eventually released, but the frightening part came Thursday when he was once again rushed to the hospital. From there, things got very confusing.

At one point people were publishing all kinds of conflicting reports. We went from medically induced comas, to talk of life support, and even last rites.
It seems certain outlets were hungry to break another huge celebrity death story. Not so fast.
Now we are learning that, yes, Wayne was admitted back into the hospital, but he is apparently “recovering” — not dying.
Sources apparently told TMZ that doctors put him in a coma to stabilize him, and that he was in ICU. The only part we’ve been able to prove is the intensive care part.
All of a sudden, TMZ posted an update that seems to admit they were a little quick on the trigger — but that they are confused as well.
The most recent update suggests that Wayne was having violent seizures in the hospital bed, and that people were at his bedside crying. They imply that he was suffering because of drinking too much “syrup” after his release earlier in the week.
Other outlets took a more measured approach. HuffPo confirms his hospitalization, but they also refer to a few Tweets that his friends and label mates posted.
One, sent by Birdman read “My son is in good spirit..feelin much betta…be home soon.”
Another, by rapper Mack Maine described Wayne as “alive and well.”
Finally, his PR team released a statement saying that “We can confirm Lil Wayne did have a seizure and that he is recovering.”
So there doesn’t seem to be any real reason to panic as of yet. Once all of the details are sorted out, we can hope that Wayne won’t suffer any long term effects from this episode.
Until then, don’t believe everything you read. This could be a rare victory for Old Media…
