Video And Audio After The Jump
Lil Wayne's private jet was forced to make an emergency landing in Nebraska after he had a seizure and lost consciousness.
TMZ reports that paramedics attempted to treat the rapper, but he refused help and hopped back on his jet. While in the air the "Lollipop" hit maker suffered a second seizure.
The plane made another emergency landing in Omaha. Medics boarded to treat Wayne, who was not conscious. He is now being transported by ambulance to a hospital.
Wayne has a history of seizures, having suffered several in 2012 and 2013, one of them near fatal.
During a November 2012 interview with MTV the rapper said he was taking medication for the medical condition.
“Please let them know that I have an air unit, but because of the sound, they don’t want the air on, so it’s super hot in here,” Wayne said. “I don’t want y’all to think I’m on nothing, man. I’m on seizure medicine, man, that’s all.”
The following year he revealed that he is epileptic.
“The thing is, man, the bad news is, I’m an epileptic, so I’m prone to seizures,” he told radio station Power 106 in March 2013.. “This isn’t my first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh seizure. I’ve had a bunch of seizures; y’all just never hear about it. This time it got real bad because I got three of ’em in a row, and on the third one, my heart rate went down to, like, 30 percent. Basically, I could’ve died soon. That’s why it was so serious. The reason being for the seizures is just plain stress, no rest and overworking myself. That’s typical me, though."
