Lil Wayne hospitalized; T.I. replaces him at Las Vegas gig

Sept. 4 (UPI) -- Lil Wayne's publicist says the rapper suffered multiple seizures and was hospitalized Sunday.

TMZ reported Lil Wayne, who is epileptic, was found unconscious in his Chicago hotel room and transported to Northwestern Memorial where he was treated.

His scheduled Sunday night show in Las Vegas was canceled and he is now resting. It is unclear if he is still in the hospital or is recuperating at home.

"Due to unforeseen circumstances Lil Wayne will be canceling his previously scheduled performance tonight at Drai's Nightclub located at the Cromwell Hotel. In lieu of his absence T.I. will be performing in his place alongside DJ Franzen for another installment of Sundrais," Drai's Nightclub said in an Instagram post Sunday. "Lil Wayne and the entire Young Money / Maverick team are valued partners and members of the Drai's LIVE family. Our priority is the health and well-being of our artists. Everyone at Drai's wishes Lil Wayne a speedy recovery during this time."
