Lil Wayne Coma Update: Hospital Stay Details on Death Scare, 'Shaking, Screaming, Vomiting' Says Source (VIDEO)
Lil' Wayne was released from a near week-long hospital on March 18 for suffering from back-to-back bouts of seizures.
While conflicting reports said he was in a coma, was being read his last rites and in ICU -all possible results from an alleged overdose from drinking too much "sizzurp"- a nurse who works at the hospital revealed details about his hospital stay.
An unidentified nurse who works at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center said it took six people to hold Lil Wayne down on the eighth floor of the hospital. The source confirmed reports that he was in a coma, but it was medically-induced because doctors feared the Lollipop rapper would swallow his tongue.
Lil Wayne was reportedly "shaking violently, screaming, urinating and vomiting," the source told Hollywood Street King who did not name him in the report, but gave hints to suggest it was him the source referred to.
Lil Wayne also had his stomach pumped three times because he drank a lethal concoction of codeine, prescription medications, and other hazardous chemicals, according to the report.
"His blood work tested positive for several different things," added the insider.
Wayne was admitted and released from Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles on Tuesday, March 12 for seizures, according to TMZ. The next day, the rapper was found on a floor unconscious by his bodyguards and re-admitted again.
Enstars reported a source close to the New Orleans rapper said he may have been poisoned.
A source close to Lil' Wayne's Young Money group told Media Takeout that the rapper wasn't hospitalized for an overdose, he fell ill because "there was something in his [syrup]."
Lil' Wayne has become so suspicious about the concoction he drank before he was hospitalized, that he hired a private security firm to conduct an investigation which includes an analysis, said the source. This might include testing the contents in Wayne's stomach.
The rapper's loved ones have urged him to contact the police, said the source, but the Young Money rapper does not want to get the authorities involved and would prefer to handle the matters privately.
The source also said that while they cannot reveal who Lil' Wayne suspects may have been responsible for an attempted poisoning; the rapper and his loved ones believe it may have been a woman.
Lil Wayne sent a video to TMZ to post on its website so he could reassure his fans that after his recent hospitalization, he is "more than good."
The rapper, also known as "Tunechi," thanks his fans in the clip for their "prayers and concerns and all that" and also tells them to "kiss my fist, I'm more than good!" He is also joined by his good friend, Atlanta rapper T.I.
thanked everyone for their support on Twitter the day after he left the hospital.
"I'm feeling a lot better and again thk u all for ur love and prayers. It was truly felt...pause," Wayne wrote under his Twitter handle @LilTunechi.
