Plenty of developments with this story, the first and most important one being that Lil’ Wayne’s health status has finally upgraded. From TMZ:
We broke the story … doctors pumped Wayne’s stomach at least 3 times after the rapper began experiencing severe and violent seizures. He had been in the ICU since Wednesday.
Now, we’re told the 30-year-old has been walking around the hospital floor on his own — accompanied by a team of bodyguards.
We’re told he’s also eating on his own … and could even be discharged from the hospital in the near future.
Birdman has since already refuted TMZ’s claims that the seizures were drug-related. In related news, some tech guy supposedly revealed that Lil’ Wayne’s recovery Tweet couldn’t have come from him, nor anyone in the hospital for that matter. From HipHopDX:
Following reports that Lil Wayne had suffered from multiple seizures late last week, an alleged Tweet made from the rapper led to even more confusion. The Tweet made from the Lil Wayne’s @LilTunechi account read, “I’m good everybody. Thx for the prayers and love,” and left many wondering how the hospitalized rapper was able to log on to social media in his condition.
According to Nibletz.com founder Kyle Sandler, the Tweet made by Lil Wayne was not made from his location at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
“@TMZ FYI @LilTunechi tweet did NOT originate from 34.0766385, -118.37954589999998 (the lat/long for Cedars Sinai),” said Sandler from his @startuptechguy account, which boasts close to 100,000 followers.
If Lil Wayne’s Tweet did not originate from the location Sandler listed, it’s likely that a rep for the rapper or someone else may have instead posted to the rapper’s Twitter account.
The Young Money artist was hospitalized on Thursday, March 14th and little about the rapper’s condition has been revealed since.
