Lil Wayne Reportedly Suffers Two Seizures On Private Jet

Rapper transported to a hospital.

US rapper Lil Wayne has reportedly been taken to hospital in an ambulance after suffering two seizures on a private jet which made emergency landings on both occasions. 

According to TMZ, the 33-year-old was flying from Milwaukee to California when he suffered the first seizure and had completely blacked out by the time the jet landed in Omaha. 

After coming to, Wayne reportedly refused medical attention and suffered a second seizure just minutes after the plane got back in the air which then made another emergency landing, again in Omaha. 

Paramedics treated Wayne on the jet before he was taken to hospital. 

This is not the first time this has happened to the hip hop artist who has publicly said in the past that he suffers from epilepsy. In 2012, Wayne suffered two seizures in as many days and in 2013 he was taken to hospital due to a number of seizures believed to have occurred after overdosing on prescription drug codeine.
