TMZ reported earlier the artist was in a medically-induced coma and last rites were being administered.
Then Mack Maine, President of Lil Wayne's Young Money Label tweeted the rapper was fine, watching the basketball game.
Wayne is alive and well! We watching the Syracuse game...thanks for the prayers and concern..he will update you all soon. #love— Mack Maine (@mackmaine) March 16, 2013
And then one allegedly from Lil Wayne himself:
I'm good everybody. Thx for the prayers and love.— Lil Wayne WEEZY F (@LilTunechi) March 16, 2013
So while several outlets got confirmation from his publicist that Lil Wayne "is recovering" from a seizure, Twitter followers weren't all convinced:
@mackmaine we want a picture— Ashlyn Carter (@AshlynJoi) March 16, 2013
Maine tweeted he hopes to get it all cleared up soon.
@liltunechi bout to send a tweet out to kill this and everyone can go back to what they were doing— Mack Maine (@mackmaine) March 16, 2013
Those of you who watched the Syracuse/Georgetown basketball game know it was quite a heart-stopping event, but we'll be trying to verify the information just the same. Cedars-Sinai hospital would not comment.
