American rapper Lil Wayne, has revealed that he is
epileptic and as as result, he is prone to seizures
when he doesn’t have enough rest and overworks
himself.
Speculations have blamed use of sizzurps for the 30-
year-old’s constant health issues, but in a new
interview, Wayne, whose new LP, I Am Not a Human
Being II will be in stores on Tuesday, broke his
silence on the issue.
“The bad news is I’m epileptic so I’m prone to
seizures,” Wayne explained. “This isn’t my first,
second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth or seventh seizure.
I’ve had a bunch of seizures. Y’all just never hear
about them. But this time, it got real bad because I
had three of them in a row. With the third one, my
heart rate went down to like 30 percent. The reason
being for the seizures is just plain stress, no rest and
overworking myself.”
Wayne also stated that he has never experienced
three consecutive seizures before and the last
experience was more dangerous than the previous
cases.
“I have people around me. I’ve actually had
[seizures] so much, they already know what to do.
They already expect it. They already know how to
handle it. Certain times I don’t even go to the
hospital but this time it was real bad because, like I
said, it was three in a row. I’ve never had three back-
to-back like that and the third one was so bad.”
