Is Lil Wayne really dying??? find out how and when

Just a few weeks ago, rapper Lil Wayne was not in good shape. He was checked into the ICU for six days, reportedly high on sizzurp, but he somehow managed to evade death even though the usually-right-about-celebrities-dying "reporters" at TMZ said he was on his way to higher ground.

Now Weezy is telling everyone to relax, and not to worry, he's just epileptic. "The bad news is I'm an epileptic. I'm prone to seizures. This isn't my first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh seizure. I've had a bunch of seizures, ya'll just never hear about them," 

Wayne told Los Angeles's Power 106 FM. He further explained his recent stay thusly: "But this time it got real bad 'cause I had three of them in a row and on the third one, my heart rate went down to like 30 percent. Basically, I could’ve died, so that is why it was so serious."

So, this is the first time the world is hearing about Wayne's brush with death from the rapper himself, and his version of the hospitalization heard around the world cuts against what we were told at the time: that Wayne more or less overdosed on sizzurp—a mix of prescription strength cough syrup with codeine and soda—and that he was hanging onto life by his fingernails. 

Even TMZ, which has consistently been the accurate source of news on the death of celebrities like Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston, reported that Wayne he was receiving his last rites—a report TMZ later retracted. That did not go over well with Wayne, who compared the celebrity news outlet to his misbehaving children:

Below is how Lil Wayne reacted to TMZ report:

That’s what they do. I can’t be upset at that. I get upset at my kids when they do things that I tell them not to do. I can’t be upset at TMZ for doing what they do. They gon’ probably come out tomorrow and say something else about somebody else that ain’t true. That’s what they do. The truth isn’t good enough for them, so they gotta twist everything up. 

Others believe its a calculated attempt to get back to the main stream after staying away from the media for a long time

Ive been told in the past that celebrities that aren't doing too well anymore or that arent really heard of anymore pay for a, or get sponsered to make up bullshit story. E.g. the celebrity is dying or has done something attention catching so that people see it and pay attention to them again. It's a smart and easy technique to be fair as it works extremely well. Especially if the celebrity was well known. As you can see it has worked because I'm commenting about it on this discussion haha. I could be wrong but to me it all adds up
