(AP) – He has had seizures in the past. But this time, there was a lot more concern about the health of Lil Wayne when he suffered a seizure this past Friday. For a time, there were reports going around that the multiplatinum rapper was fighting for his life. But it appears he is doing better. His representatives say he is “recovering” – and a post from his Twitter account quotes the rapper as saying he’s “good.” Lil Wayne is 30 – and has had a history of seizures in recent years that have led to his being hospitalized. He has a new album – his 10th – due out a week from tomorrow.
Also this weekend– a health scare for a rapper who had a couple of big party hits during the late 1980s. Tone Loc passed out during a show in Des Moines, Iowa. It happened as he was performing on a bridge. Paramedics came to help him – but he refused to go to the hospital. Three people who worked for the Des Moines Register newspaper who were at the show says several minutes after Loc went down, fans were asked to leave. It’s unclear why the rapper collapsed – and a rep for the rapper didn’t respond to messages for information yesterday. Loc has collapsed on stage before. He’s best known for his hits “Wild Thing” and “Funky Cold Medina.”
