Breaking: Lil Wayne Suffers Seizure, Flight Makes Emergency Landing

Lil Wayne's private jet was forced to make an emergency landing in Nebraska as the rapper suffered a seizure, according to a report from TMZ. The rapper was reportedly on his way from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to California at the time and had blacked out upon the plane's landing. Wayne was later reported to be awake and alert but refusing medical attention.
Wayne's plane took off but was forced to return to the Omaha airport after just a few minutes as Wayne suffered a second seizure. He is reportedly now being treated on the plane on the tarmac.
This is the fourth high-profile seizure the rapper has suffered in the past four years, dating back to October 2012.

Wayne, who admitted in 2013 that he suffers from epilepsy and is "prone to seizures," has said that he suffers seizures due to stress, lack of rest and overworking himself. In March 2013, he suffered three in quick succession, landing him in the hospital with reports putting him near death and being read his last rites; while Wayne and his Cash Money Records team denied that he nearly died at the time, he later said in a radio interview that he "could've died" due to a drop in heart rate.

Wayne has been involved in a protracted legal battle with Cash Money; the label that signed him as a teenager and has been his only recording home through his career -- since December 2014, claiming CM and CEO Bryan "Birdman" Williams are halting the release of his long-delayed album Tha Carter V. While it had seemed that the two appeared to reconcile of late, settlement negotiations were called off without warning last month.

Wayne's reps has confirm that he artist did experience a "minor" seizure, though his recovery is underway. “Under the guidance of his own doctors, he is now in stable condition and good spirits. He thanks his fans for their everlasting support, prayers and well wishes,” the rep adds.
