Lil Wayne reportedly suffered a seizure during a flight from Wisconsin to California on Monday.
The 33-year-old rap star was forced to make an emergency landing in Omaha, Nebraska, because of concerns over his health, according to TMZ.
Wayne had apparently blacked out during the flight, but once paramedics had reached him, he reportedly refused their help.
Wayne has a history of medical problems and it had previously been reported he had adjusted his lifestyle in order to take better care of himself.

A source previously said: “It’s more of a history of him having seizures more than it is him partying and drinking and doing things that would trigger a seizure. He’s been very open and upfront about his seizures and has been suffering from those types of episodes since he was a kid.” Whether you are in the public eye or not, for anyone to have to deal with something as serious as seizures must be quite difficult. But there are ways that this can be controlled. Some people who have seizures may use medical marijuana to help control this. Before getting any product though, you will need to carry a medical card, which you present at dispensaries before receiving the marijuana. If patients can go through all these steps before they are handed their medicine, we’re sure that marijuana companies can step up their marijuana packaging game. Someone like Lil Wayne who travels the world for a living would find having options in the way the marijuana is contained would be beneficial.
Wayne was reportedly concerned for his life when he suffered similar problems back in 2013.
A source previously explained: “I know that when he was in the hospital back in March [2013], that was an eye opening experience for him and changed the way he sees life.
“He’s young and a lot of people depend on him so it was important for him to keep a brave face but deep down, he was scared. That was a case of him being neglectful toward his health.”
Following his six-day stay in hospital back in 2013, Wayne said he suffers from epilepsy.
He said at the time: “This isn’t my first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth or seventh seizure. I’ve had a bunch of seizures. Y’all just never hear about them. But this time, it got real bad because I had three of them in a row.”
